Nets' Josh Minott: Team-high eight boards off bench
Rotowire
Minott posted 15 points (4-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 136-109 loss to the Pacers.
Despite coming off the bench, Minott hauled in a team-high eight boards Sunday. The forward likely saw more playing time because Indiana ran away with this contest in the second half, but Minott did make a case Sunday to challenge the struggling Noah Clowney for reserve minutes in the frontcourt.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Impressive off bench
Rotowire
Traore racked up 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 136-109 loss to the Pacers.
Indiana pulled away on the scoreboard in the second half, which helped allow Traore to show what he's capable of with an expanded role. It's worth noting rookie first-rounder Mikel Brown rested for the second end of this back-to-back set, so it remains to be seen if Traore showed well enough Sunday to earn more playing time when the Brooklyn backcourt is at full strength.

Nets' Keon Ellis: Extends streak with multiple swipes
Rotowire
Ellis registered nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound, three assists, one block and four steals in 23 minutes during Sunday's 136-109 loss to Indiana.
Ellis continues to make a big impact on the defensive end of the floor, having now picked up multiple steals in three straight games to open the season. The expectation is that rookie first-rounder Mikel Brown is eventually going to overtake Ellis for a starting spot in the backcourt once Brown's restrictions are lifted, but Ellis should continue to deliver low-end fantasy numbers until that change is implemented.
Bilodeau (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Indiana.
Bilodeau will miss a third straight game to begin the regular season due to a right shoulder sprain. The two-way player's absence shouldn't affect the rotation.

Nets' Josh Minott: Chips in four points Saturday
Rotowire
Minott finished Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers with four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in nine minutes.
Minott didn't see the floor in Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Hornets but made his 2026-27 regular-season debut Saturday. The 23-year-old forward signed a two-year, $9 million contract with the club this past offseason but faces an uphill battle for a consistent role.

Nets' Nolan Traore: Logs five minutes in loss
Rotowire
Traore contributed three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds in five minutes during Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.
After logging 16 minutes in Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Hornets, Traore saw a significant dip in minutes Saturday. The second-year point guard could see increased burn while Mikel Brown (rest) remains limited, though Traore faces an uphill battle for a steady role.

Nets' Moritz Wagner: Shooting woes in loss
Rotowire
Wagner finished with six points (1-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 14 minutes during Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.
Wagner struggled mightily with efficiency from inside the arc Saturday and is now shooting 22.2 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from deep through two regular-season appearances. The big man will likely continue operating as Day'Ron Sharpe's primary backup.

Nets' Chaney Johnson: Scores 10 points Saturday
Rotowire
Johnson recorded 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.
Johnson was one of four Brooklyn players -- and the only one who came off the bench -- to score in double digits in Saturday's loss. The former Auburn standout saw an expanded role off the bench after playing just five minutes in the regular-season opener against Charlotte on Wednesday, but he's unlikely to hover around the 20-minute mark consistently. He should be a depth option in the frontcourt and not much more, which limits his fantasy appeal considerably.

Nets' Julius Randle: Puts up 23 points in loss
Rotowire
Randle delivered 23 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes in Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.
Randle followed his 33-point performance in the season opener with a more balanced offensive performance this time around, reducing his shot attempts while contributing as a facilitator. His scoring output could fluctuate depending on how the Nets distribute opportunities between him and Michael Porter, as well as on the likes of Egor Demin and Mikel Brown (rest) stepping up from time to time. But Randle should be one of the Nets' go-to offensive options every time he steps on the hardwood, which should give him enough of a floor to be a reliable contributor in most contests.

Nets' Egor Demin: Bounces back with 22-point effort
Rotowire
Demin posted 22 points (5-10 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds and six assists across 31 minutes in Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.
Demin rebounded from a four-point season opener with a much stronger offensive performance, connecting on five triples after missing all five of his attempts Wednesday. His six assists were also encouraging after recording just two in his debut. The 31-minute workload suggests Brooklyn will continue giving him significant opportunities, although his shooting consistency remains a concern for fantasy managers. His long-term upside should be somewhere in the middle between this impressive outing and the struggles he endured in the opener.
Head coach Jordi Fernandez said Brown (rest) will be held out of Sunday's game against the Pacers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Brown missed time in the preseason with an ankle injury and will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set after posting eight points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and two steals across 20 minutes in Saturday's 125-121 loss to Cleveland. The rookie guard's next chance to play will come Tuesday at Boston, though he's expected to continue facing restrictions for the time being.

Nets' Michael Porter: Well-rounded effort in loss
Rotowire
Porter produced 28 points (10-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four steals and one assist across 33 minutes in Saturday's 125-121 loss to the Cavaliers.
Porter turned in an efficient all-around shooting performance en route to a game-high 25 points. The sharpshooter also led the Nets in rebounds while chipping in a game-best mark in steals, tying his career high in swipes. He's been extremely productive through two regular-season games, totaling 54 points, 16 rebounds, seven steals and two assists while shooting 45.0 percent from downtown.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Tossed Saturday
Rotowire
Sharpe was ejected in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Cavaliers after being assessed his second Flagrant 1 foul, Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland reports. He'll finish with seven points (3-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes.
Sharpe picked up his second Flagrant 1 foul on a reckless closeout. The big man struggled with efficiency before being tossed but grabbed eight rebounds for a second straight game to begin the regular season.
Bilodeau (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game in Cleveland.
This will be Bilodeau's second straight game off the court. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Pacers.

Nets' Mikel Brown: Restrictions will continue
Rotowire
Nets coach Jordi Fernandez said Brown will continue to have restrictions going forward, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
"At some point he'll be able to play more minutes, he'll be able to play back-to-backs, but it's not right now," Fernandez said. Brown had six points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 110-103 loss to Charlotte, but his fantasy managers will need to exercise a lot of patience in the early going.

Nets' Mikel Brown: Muted NBA debut
Rotowire
Brown registered six points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 110-103 loss to Charlotte.
Making his much-awaited league debut, Brown wasn't particularly impressive in his first taste of NBA action. The rookie first-rounder dealt with an ankle injury to begin the preseason, and he'll likely remain a work in progress while working under a minutes restriction in the early stages of the season.
