Impact The rookie first-rounder is sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back set, and the expectation is that he'll return for Wednesday's tilt against the Warriors.

Impact Powell is set to return from a one-game absence due to left knee injury management and will jump back into the starting five. The rookie had started the previous three games before being inactive Sunday and has made 12 starts this season, averaging 7.9 points, 1.7 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per contest.

Off injury report Powell (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Powell got the night off Saturday as he manages a left knee injury, but he will return to action Monday. Over his last three appearances, Powell has averaged 10.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 27.3 minutes per contest.

MARCH 15 • ROTOWIRE

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.

MARCH 11 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to start Monday Powell is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Memphis.

Impact Powell, who hasn't seen NBA action since Feb. 26, will slide into the starting lineup for Monday's home contest. The rookie has made seven starts this season, averaging 8.4 points, 2.0 assists and 1.6 rebounds across 24.7 minutes per contest in that role, with his most recent start coming Jan. 25.

Dispatched to G League Brooklyn assigned Powell to the G League's Long Island Nets on Friday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Long Island doesn't play its next game until Sunday, so Powell may just be sticking around in the G League to practice over the next couple of days. With Brooklyn playing a road game in Boston later Friday, Powell looks as though he won't be available for that contest. The Nets recalled Ben Saraf from the G League and could have him step into the rotation in place of Powell, who had appeared in each of the team's last 18 games and averaged 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 19.5 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Notches 14 points Powell ended Monday's 123-115 win over the Bulls with 14 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and five rebounds over 23 minutes.

Impact This was one of Powell's best performances of the season, as he was able to take advantage of some maintenance days for Michael Porter and Egor Demin. While not a fantasy pickup yet, Powell may be worth keeping an eye on in deeper formats with player development expected to be a focus for Brooklyn down the stretch.

Scores 12 off the bench Powell logged 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Sunday's 130-77 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Powell turned in one of his better scoring outings of the season in Brooklyn's lopsided loss to the Pistons. The first-round pick scored roughly twice his season average. He led his team in minutes played off the bench with Michael Porter sidelined for personal reasons. As the rest of the season plays out, it's worth monitoring if Powell can pick up his production on a consistent basis.

Coming off bench Thursday Powell is not in the Nets' starting lineup against the Nuggets on Thursday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact The rookie first-rounder has started in each of his last eight outings, though he played just eight minutes during the Nets' 106-102 loss to the Suns on Tuesday. The Nets will roll with a starting lineup of Nolan Traore, Terance Mann, Michael Porter, Danny Wolf and Nic Claxton for Thursday's contest.

Goes invisible in loss Powell had no counting stats over eight minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 loss to the Suns.

Impact Ziaire Williams and Cam Thomas ended up playing the lion's share of the minutes at shooting guard Tuesday. Powell appears to have a tenuous hold on the starting role that he's had for the past eight games, during which the rookie first-rounder has averaged 7.1 points, 1.8 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 22.1 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod again Powell had 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), one rebound and three assists across 25 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to the Suns.

Impact Powell started for the fourth straight time, ending with another serviceable line. Brooklyn has so many young pieces to choose from at the moment, knowing who is going to step up on any given night is anyone's guess. Even as a starter, Powell has fallen well short of the mark when it comes to standard league value, averaging just 10.0 points and 2.0 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes over the past three games.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from injury report Powell (knee) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Suns.

Impact After missing Sunday's loss in Chicago for knee injury management, Powell is set to return to the lineup Monday. The rookie first-rounder has logged at least 24 minutes in three consecutive games (all starts), and Powell could see a rise in usage in the backcourt due to the absence of Cam Thomas (hamstring).

JANUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up knee injury Powell won't play in Sunday's game against Chicago due to left knee injury management, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Powell was held to three points in 24 minutes Friday against the Bulls, and he'll now take a seat for Brooklyn's upcoming clash. He figures to have a decent chance to play Monday against Phoenix.
