Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. The lanky big man looks set to return to action after missing Sunday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors for rest purposes. Drew Timme replaced Claxton in the starting lineup on Sunday, notching 13 points with seven rebounds, two assists, and one steal. On Tuesday, Timme is expected to return to the bench, which will negatively impact his fantasy value. Claxton has averaged 10.3 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks for the season.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) won't play on Sunday against the visiting Raptors. The Nets are limping to the finish line, so Claxton may only make a few more appearances the rest of the way. With Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) and Noah Clowney (ankle) also sidelined, Drew Timme, who has averaged 11.3 and 5.0 rebounds in four professional appearances, could find his way into the starting lineup or at least see enough minutes from off the bench to remain a practical streaming option.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) won't play in Saturday's game against Washington. He logged only 19 minutes in Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, finishing with six points, five rebounds, and two blocks. But with the Nets unable to earn a Play-In berth, Claxton could see less work for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign. Day'Ron Sharpe (knee) is also out, meaning Trendon Watford could find himself in the middle on Saturday night. Drew Timme, who had a double-double in the first appearance of his career on Friday night, should also see some action.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (rest) will skip Saturday's contest against the Boston Celtics. The team plans to rest him for the first leg of a back-to-back. It's safe to assume Claxton will be reinserted in the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Noah Clowney (ankle) and Trendon Watford (hamstring) also won't feature on Saturday, leaving Day'Ron Sharpe as Brooklyn's only real option at center. Sharpe is likely to log his second start of the campaign. He went into beast mode in his first start, racking up 25 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, three blocks, and two steals in a 129-121 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Feb. 26.

C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports that Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton will serve a one-game suspension during Wednesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Claxton received the suspension after picking up his sixth flagrant foul of the season against the Wizards on Monday. The 25-year-old big man will be eligible to return on Friday against the Trail Blazers. In Claxton's absence, Day'Ron Sharpe and Trendon Watford are expected to see increased opportunities in the Nets' frontcourt on Wednesday.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (nasal) remains on the team's injury report for his nasal fracture but has been listed as active for their Monday night matchup with the Washington Wizards. The 25-year-old has had his fair share of struggles with injuries this season but has appeared in 49 games while averaging 10.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.5 blocks across 26.8 minutes per game. He should remain in the starting center spot as Day'Ron Sharpe continues to get backup minutes.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) has shaken off a questionable tag and will play on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He faces a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia, putting Claxton in a good position to dominate inside the paint. He has produced multiple blocks in four consecutive games and averages 12.8 points for the month with 5.8 rebounds. The 76ers have struggled defensively against Claxton this season, allowing him to shoot 64.7 percent from the field.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) is questionable to face the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. He has appeared on the injury report with a right ankle sprain. Day'Ron Sharpe and Trendon Watford will be in line for increased workloads if Brooklyn rules Claxton out for the game. The Nets catch Philadelphia at a good time, as the 76ers finish off a back-to-back, and Joel Embiid is unlikely to play after logging a 38-minute shift against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday. Both Sharpe and Watford have performed well in limited minutes recently, and a boost in playing time would give them a lift.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Claxton was listed as questionable coming into this game, but will ultimately sit out due to a right hamstring The severity of the issue is unknown, so Claxton will at least miss one game due to this issue. Noah Clowney figures to take over as the starting center on Tuesday. Clowney finished with five rebounds and zero points in 32 minutes during his last game. He figures to see around the same amount of playing time, but he isn't an ideal streaming option after his dud last time out.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) has landed on the injury report as questionable ahead of Tuesday's clash against Portland. The Nets big man might miss his first action since Nov. 27. Day'Ron Sharpe and Noah Clowney would get a boost from Claxton's absence, with the latter already part of the starting lineup. Sharpe's per-minute production has always been good, and he has averaged 10.3 points and 8.3 rebounds as a starter for his career. Ben Simmons (back, knee) is another option at center, but he is once again carrying a questionable tag and might not play.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) will re-enter the lineup Friday versus Orlando. He's been out for two games with a back issue, and the team initially listed him as questionable for the game. Claxton has been limited to 8.5 points and 7.7 rebounds in 24.5 minutes across 13 appearances this season. He's not a great option for managers on Friday because the Magic allow the second-fewest fantasy points in the league to opposing centers. Claxton managed only four points and five boards in this season's first head-to-head clash between the teams.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) appeared on the injury report yet again as he remains in injury management for his back. The defensive-minded big man has been on the report plenty to start out the year and has missed six games so far this season. He's also gone back and forth between starting and coming off of the bench as his back issue continues to be bothersome. Ziaire Williams and Trendon Watford would be solid streaming options if Claxton can't play, but Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) would be better if he's upgraded from questionable.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) remains out for Wednesday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. The 25-year-old entered the season burdened by a hamstring issue. However, a back injury will cause him to miss his second-consecutive game. With Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) a game-time call and Noah Clowney (ankle) out, Ben Simmons should handle most of the work underneath the rim. Trendon Watford, who had eight points, four boards, and one block could also see more work and is worth considering for value purposes in DFS formats.

Brooklyn Nets, centerNicolas Claxton(back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Claxton has been a regular on the Nets' injury report this season due to a lower back strain and soreness. The 25-year-old is in danger of missing his seventh straight game. However, if he suits up, his playing time will be limited. Trendon Watford and Ben Simmons will get extra minutes if Claxton cannot go.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) has been officially ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. Claxton has been dealing with lower back soreness all season, an issue that recently caused him to miss three straight games before being able to play in Brooklyn's most recent two games. The 25-year-old has provided moderate production this season for the Nets, averaging 8.5 PPG and 7.7 RPG. His back issues should cause some concern for fantasy managers as his availability may be unreliable going forward if the back soreness doesn't subside. In his absence expect Jalen Wilson to get more minutes and potentially a start. Wilson only has one start on the season but put up 17 points in that start against Charlotte. Fantasy managers should look for Wilson on their waiver wire and DFS managers should consider taking a flier on the 24-year-old.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) will return from a three-game absence on Friday against Philadelphia. The Nets big man has shaken off a lower back problem and a probable tag in the process. Ben Simmons has been Brooklyn's starting center during Claxton's absence and must settle for a lesser role now that he's back. Matchups against Philadelphia aren't easy for centers, and things could be even tougher for Claxton if Joel Embiid (knee) gets the green light to play, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect too much from him in his comeback game.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Friday night's NBA Cup game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The 25-year-old has battled a handful of injuries already this year, so returning from his three-game absence is great news. His minutes have fluctuated a lot, and he has only started in five of the 11 games he's played. He could be going up against a 76ers team without Joel Embiid (questionable - knee), so his value may increase if that's the case.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) is questionable heading into Friday's game against the 76ers. Claxton has been banged up all year, entering the season working his way back from a hamstring injury. However, a back ailment has kept him off the floor for the Nets' previous three contests. If the 25-year-old is back on the floor versus Philadelphia, he could see limited action. Yet, Claxton's presence should be enough to negatively impact Ben Simmons, who has been filling in at the five.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) was originally listed as questionable on Friday, but has since been downgraded to out and will remain sidelined for a week. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, Claxton suffered a lower back strain and the team will update his status in one week. The 25-year-old has been physically limited most of the time this season, so he'll take a little more time to get this back issue under control. In the meantime, Noah Clowney will see plenty of minutes at center while Dorian Finney-Smith and Ben Simmons could see some more opportunities as well.

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Claxton's workload has been limited because of a hamstring injury suffered during the preseason. But now he's experiencing lower back tightness, so the team may not take any chances. With Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) probable, he may find himself in the starting lineup if Claxton doesn't suit up. There's also a chance Ben Simmons takes over at the five, although the former Sixer hasn't been a consistent fantasy option.
