With the Nets, the veteran guard averaged 14.6 points, 6.0 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 32.0 minutes per game. Schroder has one year remaining on his current deal, which he signed with the Raptors ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.

Nets' Dennis Schroder: Questionable to play Sunday
Rotowire
Schroder is questionable for Sunday's game against Sacramento due to right Achilles tendinitis.
Schroder's status is a swing factor for a Brooklyn rotation that is lacking Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) and Cameron Johnson (toe) on Sunday, although Dennis Smith (hip) is probable to take the court after a three-game absence. Schroder is averaging 14.3 points and 6.0 assists in 30.0 minutes across his last four contests, but he's coming off of a 24-point outing during Saturday's win over to Detroit.

Schroder caught fire from the perimeter, connecting on a season-high seven three-pointers en route to 27 points. He has now scored at least 19 points in three straight games, continuing to play a sizeable role in Brooklyn. He has been a borderline top-130 player over the past month, making him worthy of a roster spot, especially for anyone in need of points and assists.

Nets' Dennis Schroder: Solid output vs. former team
Rotowire
Schroder registered 19 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and seven assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 96-88 victory over the Raptors.
Schroder was impressive against his former team, but perhaps the most important aspect of his performance Monday was that he managed to bounce back from a couple of underwhelming efforts. He was coming off two straight games with single-digit scoring performances. Despite the ups and downs, Schroder has done a decent job as a starter in Brooklyn, averaging 15.2 points, 6.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game since the beginning of March.

Nets' Dennis Schroder: Late addition to injury report
Rotowire
Schroder is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Knicks due to right forearm soreness, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Nets' Dennis Schroder: Goes for 19 with seven dimes
Rotowire
Schroder posted 19 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 42 minutes during Sunday's 122-115 overtime loss to San Antonio.
Schroder was far from being at his best in terms of efficiency, needing 19 shots to score 19 points, but he still posted a decent stat line overall, making an impact both as a scorer and playmaker. Over his last 10 games, all as a starter for Brooklyn, Schroder is averaging 17.5 points, 7.0 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game. Despite the fact he's going to have poor shooting performances from time to time, Schroder will remain a valuable fantasy asset as long as he plays heavy minutes in a struggling Brooklyn team.

Nets' Dennis Schroder: Scores 13 points with 13 shots
Rotowire
Schroder accumulated 13 points (4-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 loss to the Pacers.
Schroder didn't have his best shooting performance, but in reality, the entire Nets offense looked sluggish Saturday, with Schroder being one of the few players who posted a decent stat line. The veteran floor general has failed to reach the 20-point mark in his last four outings since scoring a season-high 31 points against the Pistons on March 7, but he remains a productive player while holding the starting role at point guard. He's averaging 17.2 points, 6.4 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game since moving to the first unit permanently.

It was a season-high night for Schroder, who was making his seventh straight start while Cam Thomas recovers from an ankle/foot sprain. Schroder may not give the job back once Thomas returns -- over that seven-game stretch, the 30-year-old journeyman guard is averaging 19.1 points, 6.7 assists, 3.1 threes and 2.6 boards while shooting 54.3 percent from the floor and a stunning 61.1 percent (22-for-36) from beyond the arc.

Nets' Dennis Schroder: Another impressive showing Tuesday
Rotowire
Schroder contributed 20 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one block across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 112-107 victory over Philadelphia.
Schroder continues to settle in well in a starting role for the Nets, and he seems to be playing better and better with each passing game. He's scored in double digits in each of his last six starts with Brooklyn, a span in which he's averaging 17.2 points, 6.5 assists, 2.8 rebounds and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks. To note, he's also shooting an impressive -- but likely unsustainable -- 58.6 percent from three-point range over those six contests.

Nets' Dennis Schroder: Sniffs double-double Monday
Rotowire
Schroder finished Monday's 106-102 loss to the Grizzlies with 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 37 minutes.
Schroder didn't have his best shooting performance and was particularly woeful from beyond the arc, but he still posted a solid stat line and ended just one assist away from recording a double-double. Schroder has started in each of the Nets' last five games, averaging 16.6 points and 6.2 assists per game, so he should remain in that role going forward, giving him a decent upside in most formats.

Rotowire
Schroder had 23 points (9-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt), eight rebounds and seven assists over 27 minutes during Thursday's 124-97 victory over the Hawks.
Schroder has done a good job since moving to the starting lineup three games ago, hitting the 15-point mark in each of those contests. Schroder can thrive offensively in a steady role, and his fantasy upside should experience an uptick with a higher usage rate.

Nets' Dennis Schroder: Goes for 15 points in loss
Rotowire
Schroder chipped in 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and three steals over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 108-81 loss to the Magic.
Schroder was one of the few bright spots in an anemic Brooklyn offense that recorded 81 points, one of its lowest marks of the season, in this defeat. Schroder has been alternating between the starting lineup and the bench, which makes it a bit hard for him to have a solid fantasy floor, but he's scored in double digits in his last two starts, so it wouldn't be surprising if he remains in that role when Brooklyn takes on Atlanta on Thursday.
