Impact The rookie first rounder had a mild effort to close out the regular season. Powell was used sparingly by the Nets, as he appeared in 63 games with averages of 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 20.9 minutes. He was never close to being a consistent fantasy producer.

Not listed on injury report Powell (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game in Toronto, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Powell is set to return from a one-game absence, and he could be asked to flirt with 40 minutes if Nolan Traore (illness) can't give it a go. Per 36 minutes this season, Powell has averaged 11.1 points, 2.5 assists, 1.4 triples and 1.0 steals per game.

Struggles with shot despite win Powell finished with 11 points (4-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 96-90 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Powell had a woeful shooting performance since he made just 25 percent of his attempts, and while his fantasy line was far from being an eye-popping one, at least he managed to contribute in each of the five major categories. Powell has started every game in which he's been available for the Nets since March 9, but his averages of 8.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game aren't particularly impressive, especially since he's also shooting 38.4 percent from the floor in that span.

Impact Powell played at least 28 minutes for the third straight game, having seemingly earned himself a spot in the opening five. He has started in 12 straight appearances, although during that time, he has barely been a top 300 player. With averages of just 7.8 points and 1.3 three-pointers, fantasy managers are better off shifting their attention elsewhere.

Scores 10 points in blowout loss Powell registered 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 138-100 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Powell reached double-digit points for the first time since Feb. 9. However, he's been mostly a bench option for a struggling Nets team, and his overall production hasn't stood out even when he's received more minutes. Thus, his fantasy upside should remain fairly low until further notice.
