Rotoworld Player News

Day'Ron Sharpe

BKN Center #20

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Day’Ron Sharpe produced six points (2-of-5 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, six assists, two steals and two blocks in Sunday’s loss to the Mavericks.

The good news is that Sharpe provided solid defensive contributions and assists on Sunday. However, the lackluster scoring production continues, with the center failing to crack double figures in points for the seventh time in 10 games. Sharpe’s role as Brooklyn’s starting center makes him challenging to move on from in 12-team leagues. However, he may be a “buy low” candidate for managers willing to overlook the lack of scoring. But don’t look to acquire Sharpe this week, as the Nets only play two games in Week 4.
Nolan Traore

BKN Guard #10

Nolan Traoré accounted for 14 points (6-of-15 FGs), one rebound, two assists and two three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Mavericks.

While he didn’t add much value in the assist column, Traoré extended his streak of double-digit scoring to five games. After a disappointing rookie season, the second-year guard has started the Nets’ last seven games and appears unlikely to give up that spot anytime soon. Traoré is rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo leagues, which is a fair number at this point in the season.
Julius Randle

BKN Forward-Center #30

Julius Randle tallied 13 points (5-of-10 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and one block in Sunday’s loss to the Mavericks.

Randle’s ten field-goal attempts and 13 points were the second-fewest he’s recorded in a game in those categories this season. His assist production was decent, but those rostering Randle likely hoped for more in the final game of the week. More troubling for fantasy managers is the Nets’ upcoming schedule, as they’re one of two teams that play just two games next week.
Michael Porter

BKN Forward #17

Michael Porter Jr. recorded 19 points (5-of-15 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, one steal and four three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Mavericks.

Eleven of Porter’s 15 shot attempts came from beyond the arc on Sunday, and a 1-of-4 night from two helped lower his overall field-goal percentage. MPJ has scored at least 20 points in six of his 10 games, and he’s made multiple three-pointers in nine of 10 games. Even with Sunday’s low field-goal percentage, Porter is still providing top-50 fantasy value, exceeding his preseason ADP. The bad news for fantasy managers is that the Nets play two games next week, starting with the Pelicans on Wednesday.
Mikel Brown

BKN Guard #0

Mikel Brown Jr. (back) is out for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

Brown, who played 25 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Hawks and scored 18 points, has not reached the point where he’s allowed to play both games of a back-to-back. As a result, the rookie won’t be available on Sunday. Keon Ellis, who was a DNP-CD on Saturday, could re-enter the rotation.
Michael Porter

BKN Forward #17

Michael Porter Jr. accumulated a team-high 25 points (8-of-17 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes in a loss to the Hawks on Saturday.

Porter helped Brooklyn get out of the gate quickly, but they were unable to hold off a late charge from Atlanta, falling to 2-7 overall on the year. He would’ve had an even bigger night from a scoring perspective had he not gone just 3-of-11 from three-point range. The nine boards are a nice bonus for fantasy managers since Porter has been a bit of a one-category standout during his Nets tenure. He’s gotten off to a strong start this season, averaging 21.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.4 blocks through nine games. They’ll close out the week with a road tilt against the Mavericks on Sunday before facing the Pelicans and Grizzlies next week.
Julius Randle

BKN Forward-Center #30

Julius Randle tallied 19 points (8-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 34 minutes in a loss to the Hawks on Saturday.

Randle fell just short of recording his fourth consecutive 20-point performance as got to the free throw line for just two attempts and went 1-for-2 from three-point range. He continued to be extremely efficient from inside the arc and also set a season-high with eight helpers in this one. There were some questions regarding how he would ultimately fit in with Brooklyn’s rebuilding nucleus, but Randle has gotten off to a decent start in his Nets debut, averaging 20.8 points, 7.1 boards, 5.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.1 blocks through nine games. The Nets are back in action with a quick turnaround against the Mavericks on Sunday.
Day'Ron Sharpe

BKN Center #20

Day’Ron Sharpe recorded a triple-double with 12 points (4-of-8 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, 13 assists and one block over 32 minutes in a loss to the Hawks on Saturday.

Sharpe took full advantage of a smaller Atlanta front court to notch an impressive triple-double. The 25-year-old big man isn’t a significant scoring threat, but he’s certainly doing enough to be impactful for fantasy managers, averaging 7.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.6 steals through nine games.
Danny Wolf

BKN Forward #2

Nolan Traoré, Michael Porter Jr., Julius Randle, Danny Wolf and Day’Ron Sharpe will start Saturday’s game against the Hawks.

The Nets will start Saturday’s game with an even bigger lineup. Wolf will make his first start of the season, which bumps Chaney Johnson to the bench. That’s the lone change to the Nets’ starting five.
Egor Dëmin

BKN Guard #8

Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said Saturday that Egor Dëmin (leg) is progressing in his recovery and will be re-evaluated next week.

Dëmin has missed the Nets’ last four games with a bruised right leg, and he’ll miss a few more before being re-evaluated. The second-year guard will miss games against the Hawks (Saturday) and the Mavericks (Sunday) before doctors re-evaluate his leg to assess his progress. Chaney Johnson has been the replacement in the starting lineup and should retain that role until Dëmin is allowed to return.
