Nets' Nic Claxton: Hands out five assists
Claxton logged 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 124-107 victory over Atlanta.
Claxton is an underrated playmaker, as this was the sixth game of his career with at least five assists. He's been on quite a tear in fantasy, returning top-25 value in nine-category leagues over his past five games with 13.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.0 blocks on 68 percent shooting from the field.

Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Scores 19 in win
Finney-Smith supplied 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 124-107 victory over the Hawks.
This performance looks like an outlier compared to his recent production. Over the past 10 games, Finney-Smith has averages of 7.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.6 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks.

Nets' Mikal Bridges: Dominates with 42 points
Bridges ended Friday's 124-107 win over Atlanta with 42 points (16-24 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 36 minutes.
Bridges is certainly enjoying life on his new team. He's scored at least 42 points three times with the Nets, and the six highest scoring games of his career have come within the past month. He's showing fantasy managers that he can thrive as the top option on offense. He'll be back in action April 2 against the Jazz.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Nabs seventh double-double of March
Dinwiddie tallied 20 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 11 assists, four rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes in Wednesday's 123-114 win over the Rockets.
Dinwiddie came away with his eighth double-double of the season, seven of which have come in Brooklyn. Though he was enjoying a productive season riding shotgun in the backcourt with Luka Doncic prior to being traded from Dallas to Brooklyn in early February, Dinwiddie's fantasy value has risen now that he's settled in at point guard with the Nets rather than in the off-ball role he often filled with the Mavericks. He's averaging 8.4 assists per game over 21 appearances with Brooklyn, compared to 5.3 per contest in his 53 appearances with Dallas.

Nets' Mikal Bridges: Gets hot from deep
Bridges accumulated 27 points (8-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one block across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 win over Houston.
Bridges excelled from beyond the arc in the victory, as he poured in 12 of his 27 points from downtown. He's been dangerous from three recently, shooting 48.4 percent and averaging 3.8 made triples per game over his last four appearances. It's no surprise that he's also averaging an impressive 32.5 points to go along with 5.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists over this hot stretch.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Enjoys efficient night in post
Claxton amassed 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 win over the Rockets.
Claxton took advantage of his chances on the offensive end by hitting 80.0 percent of his tries from the field, resulting in his best scoring night since March 19 against Denver. He also recorded a double-double for the second time in three contests. Claxton has shown plenty of life on the offensive end so far in March, as he's put up double figures in the scoring column in 10 of 14 contests after doing so only four times over 10 February matchups.

Nets' Cameron Johnson: Posts rare 30-point night
Johnson provided 31 points (11-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 123-114 win over the Rockets.
Johnson had his shot working from every spot on the floor in this one, drilling 61.1 percent of his tries from the field while scoring 15 of his 31 points from beyond the arc. He also contributed on the defensive end by recording at least one block and one steal in a game for the first time since March 19. Johnson is averaging 16.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals through 14 March appearances.

Nets' Ben Simmons: Expected to avoid surgery
Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn said Tuesday that Simmons (back, knee) is out for the season but isn't expected to require any surgeries this summer, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports. "Ben will not be joining us the rest of the year and through the playoffs," Vaughn said after Tuesday's practice. "After consulting with our doctors, multiple specialists, he's just going to begin a rehab program. Our doctors and the specialists feel and think that he'll have a full recovery so that starts now."
Simmons last played for the Nets in their final game before the All-Star break Feb. 15, with his absence initially being attributed to a sore left knee for which he required a platelet-rich plasma injection. The Nets then announced over the past weekend that Simmons is dealing with a nerve impingement in his back, though the team hasn't revealed whether the issue is related to the disc herniation that he addressed with a surgery last May. Whatever the case, Simmons appears set to avoid another surgery for now, and though the early expectation is that he'll be at full health for training camp in the fall, how he fits in Brooklyn's plans heading into 2023-24 is difficult to pin down. Before being shut down, Simmons was in the midst of the worst season of his career, as he shot just 43.9 percent from the free-throw line and averaged 6.9 points to go with 6.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.3 minutes over 42 appearances (33 starts). With Mikal Bridges having since emerged as the face of the franchise following the Nets' roster overhaul at the trade deadline, Simmons -- who is under contract through 2024-25 and is owed roughly $78 million -- may be relegated to a supporting role once healthy.
