Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Wizards as he continues to battle a tight left hamstring. Claxton is likely to remain among Brooklyn's starting five when healthy, but Thursday's acquisition of Andre Drummond figures to keep his minutes ceiling in check. With LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) ruled out vs. Washington as well, Blake Griffin and Day'Ron Sharpe are worth looks in the DFS market due to the Nets' thin frontcourt rotation...

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) will not suit up for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. This will be the second-straight game he's missed while dealing with left hamstring tightness. With LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) still sidelined as well, the Nets will be leaning on Blake Griffin and Day'Ron Sharpe as their primary centers. Sharpe struggled in his last game, but he was dealing with an illness. He's mostly been productive when he's seen double-digits in minutes so ...

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Tuesday's game against the Celtics due to a tight left hamstring. Claxton was held to just five minutes in Friday's outing due to the ailment, having since been unavailable Sunday, allowing Blake Griffin to step in and see 30 minutes as the team's de facto center. With LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) unavailable, Claxton could see an elevated role if he is ultimately cleared to take the floor. Having ...

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) isn't available for Sunday's contest versus the Denver Nuggets. Claxton tweaked his left hamstring during Friday's bout in Utah, relegating him to only five minutes of action. With the Nets also down Paul Millsap (personal) and LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle), Day'Ron Sharpe, James Johnson, and Blake Griffin should handle things underneath the rim. Sharpe had 11 points and eight boards against the Jazz, so he certainly has appeal in deeper...

Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin is going to remain in the starting five, according to head coach Steve Nash. The veteran forward is off to a horrendous start to the season. He is averaging 4.8 points and 4.8 rebounds in 20.0 minutes while shooting only 28.6% from the floor and 12% from downtown. LaMarcus Aldridge has easily outplayed Griffin off the bench, but Nash has no plans of changing the lineup. Fantasy managers might want to hold Griffin a little longer in hopes of a turn around, ...

Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin (rest) won't play on Sunday against the Hornets. With the team playing its first of back-to-back outings, the veteran will get the afternoon off. LaMarcus Aldridge, who exploded on Friday evening against the Philadelphia 76ers by recording 23 points, should get additional minutes behind Nicolas Claxton without Griffin in the lineup. Paul Millsap could also get some extra run, although not enough to make him relevant from a fantasy standpoint.

Forward Blake Griffin agreed to a one-year deal on Monday night to remain in Brooklyn. The multi-time All-Star began the 2020-21 season in Detroit. However, after receiving a buyout, he signed with the Nets, where he averaged 10 points and 4.7 boards throughout 26 regular-season games in the Big Apple. Nonetheless, while health issues have been a concern over the years, he still has fantasy value in deeper formats, even though his best days are behind him.

Free-agent forward Blake Griffin is expected to remain in Brooklyn next season. After reaching a buyout agreement with the Detroit Pistons during the year, the 32-year-old signed with the Nets. Griffin had spurts of productivity during his brief tenure in the Big Apple and averaged 10 points and 4.7 boards throughout 26 games. Although his best days are likely behind him, he has late-round value in upcoming fantasy drafts in deeper formats.

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (groin) and forward Blake Griffin (rest) are available for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. It's the second game of a back-to-back, which normally means Griffin would sit. However, he only played 14 minutes on Thursday and will be asked to suit up with Kevin Durant (rest) sidelined. At first glance, Griffin should be a productive fantasy option with the Nets banged up, but he never seems to be consistent. Irving missed Thursday's game due to a...

Brooklyn Nets forwards Kevin Durant (rest) and Blake Griffin (rest) have been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Both players sat out the front end of the back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should feel safe about plugging Durant back into their lineups. Griffin has been getting minutes in the low-20s, but is basically a deep league option right now.
