NBA Player, Former UCLA Star Amari Bailey Reportedly Eyeing College Return

Available to play Thomas (hamstring) is available for Friday's game in Utah, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact Michael Porter (personal) won't play Friday, so Thomas could see a lot of offense coming his way, making him an intriguing target in daily fantasy leagues with a favorable matchup against the Jazz. Thomas is averaging 15.9 points on 39.5 percent shooting from the floor and 83.8 percent at the stripe this season.

Ruled out for Friday Clowney (back) won't play Friday in Utah, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact This will be Clowney's fourth consecutive game on the inactive list and it's unclear if he's made any progress with his back issue. Danny Wolf should get another start Friday evening and he could see some more shots falling his way with Michael Porter (personal) also unavailable. For now, Clowney should be considered doubtful for Sunday's game in Detroit.

Won't play Friday Porter has been ruled out for Friday's game in Utah due to personal reasons, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Friday's game is the second of a back-to-back set, so Porter likely would have been rested anyway, but instead, he'll skip the game for personal reasons. With both Porter and Noah Clowney (back) unavailable for Friday's game, Danny Wolf and Egor Demin could see a sizeable uptick in usage and Drake Powell could start. Porter's next chance to play will come Sunday in Detroit.

Won't play Friday Williams (calf) will not play Friday against the Jazz, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Williams will be sidelined for the second straight game. His next chance to play comes Sunday against Detroit.

Good to go Friday Demin (foot) is available for Friday's game versus Utah, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact After getting the first leg of this back-to-back set off for maintenance, Demin will be back in the rotation Friday. Looking ahead, Brooklyn's next back-to-back set doesn't begin until Feb. 19.

Quiet in first career start Traore closed with nine points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one block over 30 minutes during Thursday's 107-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Making his first start in the NBA with fellow rookie Egor Demin (foot) sidelined, Traore didn't look out of place, but he didn't make much of an impact, either. Traore missed the last two games himself due to an illness, and through 14 contests in January the 19th overall pick in the 2025 Draft is averaging 7.9 points, 3.5 assists, 1.5 boards and 1.1 threes in 23.9 minutes.

Teases triple-double in loss Claxton notched 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one block over 31 minutes during Thursday's 107-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact The 26-year-old center came close to producing his third career triple-double, with the previous two both coming this season. Claxton has delivered solid secondary numbers since returning to the starting lineup Jan. 9, and over the last 12 games he's averaging 10.0 points, 6.7 boards, 4.2 assists and 1.6 blocks in 28.9 minutes a contest while shooting 55.9 percent from the floor.

Rolls to 38-point night Porter recorded 38 points (13-28 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks across 37 minutes during Thursday's 107-103 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Porter was highly effective from beyond the arc Thursday, which allowed the Nets to stay competitive into the fourth quarter even after falling behind early by 19 points. He tacked on 21 of his 38 points from deep, and put the finishing touches on his big night by recording his first double-double since Jan. 4. Porter has now put up 30 or more points in three of his last four matchups.

Impact Traore will draw the first start of his NBA career with Egor Demin (foot) sidelined.

The Nets will roll with a starting lineup of Nolan Traore, Terance Mann, Michael Porter, Danny Wolf and Nic Claxton for Thursday's contest.
