Game Recap: Nets 108, Hawks 107

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • YOUTUBE

Grabs season-high 16 boards Durant recorded 26 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 16 rebounds, eight assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 win over the Hawks.

Impact Durant simply keeps rolling along, putting together another masterclass as the Nets won their 10th consecutive game. The 16 rebounds marked a season high, icing on the cake for fantasy managers with him on their roster. He is currently the fifth-ranked player in 12-team leagues, and that is probably his floor moving forward.

Logs just seven minutes in return Curry amassed two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist in seven minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Curry was barely seen in the victory in his return from a brief illness, scoring just two points during his limited time on the floor. With the Nets playing their best basketball of the season right now, Curry is certainly not a guaranteed contributor, as we saw here. While he will likely be better than this on most nights, he is by no means a must-roster player in standard formats.

Savagely swats six shots Claxton supplied 17 points (8-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and six blocks over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 victory over Atlanta.

Impact Claxton threw himself a block party Wednesday, swatting a career-high six shots. As if that wasn't enough, he also recorded his 10th double-double of the season. The Nets are rolling right now, as is Claxton, who is the 34th-ranked player this season. His overall value is tied to four specific categories, meaning he is not going to fit every single build. With that said, he appears to be only scratching the surface of his potential and could be a real difference-maker for years to come.
