Duke recorded 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 100-93 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Duke has started in each of Brooklyn's last three games and has taken advantage of the situation, scoring in double digits in two of those contests. He's expected to remain in the starting five while seeing a healthy workload as long as the Nets continue to deal with injuries and COVID-19-related issues. The NBA officially postponed Sunday's matchup against the Nuggets, as well as Tuesday's game against the Wizards, so Brooklyn's next scheduled contest arrives Thursday at Portland. At this point, it's very much unclear how many regulars might be available for that game.

Duke (hip) will be available for Saturday's matchup with the Magic, Chris Milholen of Nets Daily reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duke is nursing left hip soreness but will play through it. He figures to see a healthy workload, as the Nets are dealing with a plethora of players in health and safety protocols.

Duke (hip) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup with the Magic, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Duke has drawn back-to-back starts while the Nets deal with a COVID-19 outbreak amongst their ranks. If he's available Saturday, he will likely draw another start, as the majority of the squad remains in protocols and Patty Mills has been ruled out due to rest.

Duke finished with four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, and a steal over 32 minutes in a 114-105 win over the 76ers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Duke failed to replicate his double-double performance from Tuesday, but he still logged a notable +20 in the plus-minus. Duke is likely to start again Saturday night against Orlando.

Duke racked up 10 points (4-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 131-129 overtime win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
In just his third NBA game, Duke made a gigantic impact, contributing across the board and then hitting two free throws to secure the win. Duke will need a larger sample size, but the Providence product could be worth monitoring in deep leagues, especially while Brooklyn is unhealthy.

Duke will start Tuesday's game against Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
The Nets are down to just eight active players in the wake of a COVID-19 outbreak, so Duke will move into the lineup at shooting guard for his first career NBA start. The rookie out of Providence has appeared in only two games this season, though he did get some extended run (22 minutes) in the Nets' blowout loss to Houston last Wednesday. Duke finished that game with nine points, three rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer.

Duke (hip) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's contest against the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Duke had been dealing with a hip injury for over two weeks, but he appears to be healthy after being removed from the injury report. Nonetheless, he's unlikely to see much playing time for Brooklyn and will likely be assigned to the G League to get playing time.

Duke is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Suns due to left hip tendinopathy.
EDGE Analysis
The two-way rookie from Providence has been dealing with the hip injury for about a week and a half. Even once he's healthy, Duke will more than likely be assigned to the G League's Long Island Nets and won't factor into the parent club's rotation.

Duke was out during Wednesday's game against the Westchester Knicks with right hip flexor soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Given that soreness was the reason for Duke's absence, it would seem likely he will not be out too long.
