Rookie Jordan Williams could get a lot of minutes the rest of the way for the Nets.

The rookie hasn’t made an impact often this season, but he has carved out a consistent role off the bench. He found his shot in this game, which allowed him to set a new career-high for scoring. Shead logged 15 minutes in this game, which is on par with what he has been seeing recently. Shead has proven that he can be a solid rotation piece as a rookie, but with Immanuel Quickley finally healthy, there simply aren’t enough minutes to justify rostering Shead in redraft leagues. However, a shooting performance like this is encouraging for dynasty managers.

It wasn’t enough for them to get the win, but Barnes did a little bit of everything in this game. He fell two assists short of recording his second triple-double of the season, which is certainly a stat line that will play well for fantasy managers. They’ll wrap up the week in Detroit on Saturday before a three-game week after that. Barnes has been a third-round producer over the past two weeks, which is much closer to his ADP than his season-long value, which is outside the top-50.

While Curry recorded his sixth double-double of the season on Thursday, this was far from a clean effort for the Warrior star. He shot 2-of-14 from beyond the arc, which torpedoed his overall field-goal percentage, making fewer than 25% of his attempts. However, Curry has provided top-25 per-game value in 8- and 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. With the Warriors visiting the Pacers on Friday, Curry may not play. He’s missed one end of Golden State’s last three back-to-backs.
