Minott (hip) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game versus the Hornets.
Minott is good to go following a one-game absence during Sunday's win over the Kings due to a hip injury. The forward is worthy of streaming consideration in most leagues Tuesday, as he's averaged 14.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 1.1 assists and 0.9 blocks across 23.9 minutes per tilt in his last eight games.

Nets' Josh Minott: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Minott (hip) won't play Sunday versus Sacramento.
With Minott out, there will be more minutes available for Ochai Agbaji and Chaney Johnson. For now, Minott should be considered questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Hornets.
Minott ended with 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two steals and one assist across 33 minutes during Monday's 134-99 loss to the Trail Blazers.
After being left out of the rotation in the front end of the back-to-back set in Brooklyn's 126-122 loss to Sacramento, Minott moved into the starting five Tuesday for the first time as a member of the Nets and came through with a strong all-around line. Over his last six appearances, Minott is averaging 15.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers, 1.5 steals, 1.0 assists and 1.0 blocks in 23.8 minutes per contest. While those numbers would make Minott worthy of rostering in nearly any format, the Nets' unpredictable usage of him makes it difficult to include him in fantasy lineups with much confidence. He's been a DNP-CD in four of Brooklyn's last 10 contests, and the Nets' decision on whether or not to play him in a particular game will seemingly hinge on both the matchup and which other players are available on a given night.

Nets' Josh Minott: Starting Monday
Rotowire
Minott will start Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
After going unused off the bench in Sunday's loss to Sacramento, Minott will enter Brooklyn's starting five for the first time this season due to the team being shorthanded in the second leg of this back-to-back set. Over his last five appearances, the 23-year-old forward has averaged 15.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 combined steals-plus-blocks across 22.0 minutes per game.

Nets' Josh Minott: Goes for 22 points in tight loss
Rotowire
Minott accumulated 22 points (8-13 FG, 6-9 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Friday's 93-92 loss to New York.
Minott came close to matching the career-best 24-point output he had against the Hawks on March 12, and the four-year veteran is making the most of his expanded opportunities of late. Minott has logged at least 20 minutes off the bench in four of his last five appearances, a stretch in which he's posted double-digit scoring figures three times. He's averaging 15.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game in that five-game span.

Nets' Josh Minott: Scores career-high 24 points
Rotowire
Minott posted 24 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals over 24 minutes during Thursday's 108-97 loss to Atlanta.
Minott saw some increased opportunity with Michael Porter (ankle) unavailable, and he made the most of it. He's capable of putting up these sorts of stat lines from time to time, but Minott has struggled to put it all together consistently, so we'll need to see a repeat performance before recommending him as an add in standard fantasy leagues.

Nets' Josh Minott: Summoned from G League
Rotowire
The Nets recalled Minott from the G League's Long Island Nets on Thursday, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Minott looks poised to suit up in Thursday's game against the Spurs, but with the Brooklyn roster at full strength, he's unlikely to be included in the rotation. The fourth-year forward appeared in three games during his recent stint with Long Island, averaging 10.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 three-pointers, 2.0 assists and 1.7 blocks in 24.6 minutes per contest.

Nets' Josh Minott: Chance to make debut Thursday
Rotowire
Minott (G League assignment) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Acquired from the Celtics on Feb. 5, Minott didn't make any appearances for Brooklyn before being assigned to the G League's Long Island Nets following the All-Star break. He looks like he could rejoin the Nets ahead of Thursday's contest, but Minott is unlikely to be featured in the rotation if he suits up.

Rotowire
Minott is available for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
The Celtics traded Minott to the Nets on Thursday, and the forward will be available to make his Brooklyn debut Saturday. He fell out of favor in Boston, and it will be interesting to see if he can carve out a role with his new team.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Makes garbage-time cameo
Rotowire
Minott played the final 4:39 of Wednesday's 117-106 loss to the Hawks, finishing with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound.
The Celtics were shorthanded in the frontcourt Wednesday with Neemias Queta (illness) sitting out, but his absence didn't open up room in the rotation for Minott, who had been cleared to return to action earlier this week after missing 10 straight games while recovering from an ankle sprain. Boston got by with a combination of Luka Garza and Amari Williams at center while the game was competitive before Minott checked in for the first time late in the fourth quarter, when Atlanta had built an 18-point lead to effectively salt the game away.

Rotowire
Minott is out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers with a sprained left ankle.
Minott is on the shelf for an eighth straight contest. In his absence, Luka Garza is cementing himself as the primary backup center behind starter Neemias Queta and is worth a look as a streamer in deeper fantasy leagues.

Celtics' Josh Minott: Drops out of rotation
Rotowire
Minott (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Sunday's 114-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Minott had appeared in 27 of the Celtics' first 28 games of the season and averaged 6.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.1 three-pointers and 0.8 steals in 18.1 minutes per contest, but he appears to have lost his foothold in the Boston rotation. He's now failed to get off the bench in two straight contests, with head coach Joe Mazzulla turning to Sam Hauser, Hugo Gonzalez and Luka Garza to serve as the team's main backup options in the frontcourt.
