Ben Saraf News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Notches 15 points in finale Saraf amassed 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 26 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Saraf's rookie season officially came to an end Sunday. He spent lots of time in the G League as well, but he amassed 44 regular-season appearances at the NBA level. He didn't have much fantasy appeal until the very end of the campaign, finishing with averages of 7.5 points, 3.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 steals on 39.6 percent shooting in 20.8 minutes per contest.

Strong line in loss Saraf logged 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 28 minutes during Thursday's 123-94 loss to the Pacers.

Impact The Nets were without most of their roster for the front end of this back-to-back set, and only seven players saw the floor as a result. Although he's seen healthy workloads, Saraf is averaging just 11.8 points, 4.1 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 26.7 minutes per contest over his last 13 appearances.

Loaded stat line in win Saraf closed Tuesday's 96-90 win over Milwaukee with 19 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes.

Impact Saraf didn't have a good shooting performance Tuesday night, but the fact that he went 9-for-10 from the charity stripe salvaged his scoring output, and he complemented it with decent numbers in peripheral categories. Saraf has started just three times since the beginning of March, but he's been showing what he can do of late with an uptick in his playing time. He has scored in double digits in five of his last eight appearances, a stretch in which he's averaging 11.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game despite shooting just 40.2 percent from the floor and 18.8 percent from deep.

Available against Milwaukee Saraf (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Saraf didn't play in Sunday's 121-115 win over the Wizards. However, he was listed as probable heading into the meeting with Milwaukee, although it's now confirmed that he will avoid a second consecutive absence. The rookie has had a quiet start to his NBA career, averaging 6.6 points, 1.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 38.2 percent from the field and 21.6 percent from deep across 19.6 minutes in 40 appearances.

Iffy with back tightness Saraf (back tightness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Saraf was a late addition to the injury report, and the Nets may err on the side of caution. Nolan Traore and Tyson Ettienne could see more minutes if Saraf is held out.

Struggles again in loss Saraf amassed two points (1-4 FG), two rebounds and four assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 141-107 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Saraf continues to play through some recent struggles, turning in his third straight subpar performance. During that time, he has averaged just 5.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists, barely making him a top 400 player. With continued uncertainty regarding the Brooklyn rotation, Saraf is not someone who needs to be rostered, outside of very deep leagues.

Impact Getting a spot start in place of Nolan Traore (rest), Saraf tied his career high in assists while snapping a March shooting slump that had seen him go 0-for-18 on the month from three-point range. Saraf has scored in double digits in seven of his last eight games (two starts), averaging 12.3 points, 4.5 assists, 2.5 boards and 1.6 steals in 26.6 minutes during that span.

Impact The 22 points were a season high for Saraf, who crossed the 20-point marker for the first time this season. With the Nets playing out the final weeks of a losing campaign, Brooklyn should continue getting an extended look at the rookie first-rounder. Over his last six contests, Saraf has averaged 12.3 points, 4.5 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 27.1 minutes per game.
