Impact Lewis supplied a full stat line Tuesday, providing a spark off the bench. Lewis has played at least 27 minutes in all of his past three contests, recording at least 10 points and four boards in each outing. The rebuilding Nets could give the 2023 second-rounder a similar amount of playing time in their final three games of the regular season.

Lewis reached double figures in scoring for the fourth time this season, recording his second-highest point total in Sunday's defeat.

Will start vs. Minnesota Lewis will be in the starting lineup for the Nets on Thursday against the Timberwolves, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

Impact Lewis will get the first start for Brooklyn this season, as he'll share the floor with D'Angelo Russell, Keon Johnson, Trendon Watford and Nic Claxton in the first unit. In 23 games he's played for the Nets this season, the Pepperdine product is averaging 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, shooting 42 percent from the floor and 46.9 percent from deep.

Plays well in 18 minutes Lewis contributed eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Monday's 113-109 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Lewis provided a spark off the Brooklyn bench, giving the coaching staff something to thing about. With less than two weeks remaining in the regular season and with the Nets in player evaluation mode, Lewis is likely to get an extended look in the rotation at some point. Fantasy managers in deeper formats can keep an eye out for him.

Productive off bench Lewis chipped in eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 overtime loss to the Pacers.

Impact Lewis has now eclipsed 16 minutes in four straight appearances as the Nets continue to give him more opportunities. In that span, Lewis has flirted with top-150 value in nine-category formats in 19.9 minutes per game, posting averages of 9.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Heats up with 15 points off bench Lewis posted 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 16 minutes during Saturday's 115-113 loss to the Celtics.

Impact In the Nets' first game since the team announced that Cam Thomas (hamstring) would miss the rest of the season, Lewis set season highs in both scoring and minutes off the bench in his first appearance since the Mar. 4 loss to the Spurs. It'll be interesting to see if Saturday's performance earns Lewis more playing time going forward, and fantasy managers should monitor his role down the stretch.

MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance in loss Lewis had three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in 10 minutes during Saturday's 115-94 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Lewis made just his 12th appearance of the season, all of which have seen him log fewer than 10 minutes. The Nets are going nowhere fast, meaning Lewis could step into a slightly more consistent role at some point before the season ends. However, it is unlikely to yield significant production based on what we have seen from him thus far.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Makes garbage-time cameo Lewis (tibia) played the final 27 seconds of Wednesday's 102-96 win over the 76ers, recording no statistics during his time on the court.

Impact Lewis made his return to action after he fractured his left tibia in his Nets debut in a Jan. 1 loss to the Raptors. Though he's healthy again, the second-year forward is expected to find himself outside of the Brooklyn rotation more often than not.

Cleared to play Lewis (leg) will be available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Lewis has been sidelined since the beginning of January while recovering from a fractured left tibia. He's no longer appearing on the injury report, but he's not guaranteed any minutes Wednesday -- he averaged 3.8 minutes in eight appearances prior to the injury.
