Chaney Johnson - Logs 27 minutes in loss Johnson registered 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Johnson exceeded 20 minutes for the first time in the past four games, scoring double digits for the fifth time in his young career. With Brooklyn manipulating its rotation on a nightly basis, it's hard to be too excited by this performance. Generally speaking, fantasy managers are better off focusing on other teams when it comes to streaming candidates.

Nic Claxton - Non-factor in loss Tuesday Claxton had four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 117-86 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Claxton's apparent disinterest continues to shine through, turning in another underwhelming performance. Despite being a regular fixture in the starting lineup, he has been outside the top 250 in 14 games over the past month. During that time, he has averaged just 8.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks. At this point, he is nowhere near being a must-roster player.

Ziaire Williams - Starting Tuesday Williams will start Tuesday's game against the Hornets, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact After going unused off the bench in Sunday's win over Sacramento, Williams will return to the first unit Tuesday. As a starter this season (12 games), the 24-year-old forward has averaged 13.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.4 steals and 1.1 assists in 24.3 minutes per tilt.

Danny Wolf - Out indefinitely with ankle sprain Wolf (ankle) has no timetable for a return, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Wolf remains in walking boot due to a sprained left ankle, and the rebuilding Nets are unlikely to be in much of a hurry to push the rookie first-rounder back into the fray. The likes of Ziaire Williams, Drake Powell and Josh Minott should continue to soak up more playing time going forward.

13 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jalen Wilson - Available to play Wilson (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Wilson is set to return from a one-game absence. Over his last seven appearances, he's been solid with 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers across 21.9 minutes per contest.

Jalen Wilson - Expected to play Tuesday Wilson (illness) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Impact After sitting out Sunday's win over the Kings, Wilson is likely to return from an illness Tuesday. The forward is trending up a bit recently, averaging 10.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 21.9 minutes per contest in his last seven games (one start). Wilson's expected return is likely to leave fewer minutes available to E.J. Liddell and Chaney Johnson in the frontcourt.

Danny Wolf - Ruled out for Tuesday Wolf (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Wolf will miss a fifth consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain and continues to be ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. The rookie first-rounder's next chance to play will come Friday against the Hawks. In the meantime, Josh Minott and Jalen Wilson (illness) are candidates for increased playing time.

Terance Mann - Out for Tuesday Mann (Achilles) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Mann will be held out of Tuesday's contest due to left Achilles soreness, and his next chance to play will come Friday against Atlanta. With the 29-year-old guard sidelined, Ziaire Williams and Ochai Agbaji are candidates to take on expanded roles.

Josh Minott - Removed from injury report Minott (hip) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game versus the Hornets.

Impact Minott is good to go following a one-game absence during Sunday's win over the Kings with a hip injury. The forward is worthy of streaming consideration in most leagues Tuesday, averaging 14.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.1 assists and 0.9 steals in 23.9 minutes per tilt in his last eight games.

Ziaire Williams - Removed from rotation Williams (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Nets' 116-99 win over the Kings.

Impact In an effort to open up playing time for every player on the 15-man roster and all three two-way players, Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez has been shaking up his rotation from game to game over the last few weeks as the season winds down. Williams ended up being squeezed out Sunday, ending a stretch of eight consecutive appearances during which he had averaged 13.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.4 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes per game. While Williams will stick in the rotation more often than not over the Nets' final seven games, his unexpected absence Sunday illustrates the risk that he and all Brooklyn players will carry as streaming options down the stretch.

Nolan Traore - Strong showing in win Traore supplied 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 win over the Kings.

Impact Traore was second only to Ochai Agbaji (18) in scoring Sunday. The rookie is averaging 10.1 points, 5.1 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.1 three-pointers over his last seven games, but he's shooting an abysmal 29.6 percent from the field.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Drake Powell - Notches 16 points in win Powell logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 win over the Kings.

Impact Powell and Nolan Traore combined for 33 points as the Nets improved to 18-57 on the season. Although this was a step in the right direction, Powell remains difficult to trust with averages of 6.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes over his last seven games.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ochai Agbaji - Scores 18 points in win Agbaji notched 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and one rebound across 25 minutes during Sunday's 116-99 victory over the Kings.

Impact This was certainly an outlier performance from Agbaji, as the Nets continue to give different roles on almost a nightly basis. Over his last seven games, Agbaji is averaging 18.5 minutes with 7.0 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.0 three-pointers on 38.6 percent shooting from the field.
