Jalen

Wilson

Wilson started Friday’s game for the injured Cameron Johnson, and the Nets certainly missed the latter’s scoring ability. Wilson shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc but was 1-of-7 from two. He’s worth streaming whenever allowed to start, but fantasy managers should not expect too much production-wise.

Milton and Wilson will replace Ben Simmons and Cam Johnson in the starting lineup, with the latter two sidelined for this game. DFS will also return to the starting lineup after missing their last three games, which will send Noah Clowney back to the bench.

Add Johnson to the list of Nets players who will not be available for Friday’s game, joining Cam Thomas and Ben Simmons to name two starters. Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin will play more minutes, with the former likely moving into the starting lineup.

Johnson erupted for 29 points in a win against the Bucks on Thursday but isn’t feeling his best ahead of the second leg of a back-to-back. Jalen Wilson will likely start or play a prominent role off the bench if Johnson is ruled out.

DFS sat out Saturday, and Noah Clowney got the start. Clowney wasn’t too productive with his increased role, and with 28 teams in action on Monday, you’re likely not streaming him. Jalen Wilson could also see more playing time in Finney-Smith’s absence.

DFS missed their last game, which allowed Noah Clowney to slide into the starting unit. If Finney-Smith remains sidelined, Clowney should get another start, though he wasn’t very productive in Saturday’s loss. Jalen Wilson would also see a few extra minutes off the bench.

Finney-Smith popped up on the injury report Saturday afternoon and ultimately will miss the game after a questionable designation. Jalen Wilson figures to take his place in the starting lineup Saturday against the Jazz.

DFS wasn’t initially on the injury report, but there is now a chance that he is sidelined for this game. Jalen Wilson should make a return to the starting unit if Finney-Smith is forced to sit out.

Wilson has reached double figures in three of his last four games, providing 11th-round value in 9-cat formats over the past week. He isn’t someone who fantasy managers should feel obligated to add immediately. But, games against Toronto (Thursday) and Utah (Saturday) to end Week 8 make him worth a look, even with those being the busiest days of the week.

Brooklyn’s stat line featured balanced scoring, with eight players scoring between 12 and 19 points. Wilson was included in that group, with the 15 points being the most in a game since November 25 (18 vs. Golden State). While the minutes have been there for Wilson, the production hasn’t been good enough for him to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.
