Demin totaled 26 points (8-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes during Thursday's 118-98 loss to Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Demin was hot from the jump, scoring eight points on four shots in his first seven minutes of action en route to a new career high in points. It marked a nice bounce-back performance for the rookie after he was held to 11 points on 4-for-11 shooting his last time out, and he'll look to keep the good times rolling Saturday with a favorable matchup against the Wizards.

Demin accumulated 25 points (8-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes during Friday's 109-99 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Demin recorded the first double-double of his career, guiding the Nets to a rare win. While this was obviously a favorable matchup, Demin has looked better in recent times. In three appearances over the past week, he has averaged 17.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 4.0 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes per game. Despite continued inconsistencies in his production, Demin is likely going a be a must-roster player when all is said and done.

Demin (foot) is available for Friday's game versus Utah, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After getting the first leg of this back-to-back set off for maintenance, Demin will be back in the rotation Friday. Looking ahead, Brooklyn's next back-to-back set doesn't begin until Feb. 19.

Demin won't suit up for Thursday's game versus the Nuggets due to left plantar fascia injury management, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Demin will hit the sidelines for the first leg of this back-to-back set, but he should return for Friday's game in Utah. With Demin unavailable, expect more minutes for Nolan Traore, Ben Saraf and Tyrese Martin.

Demin provided 15 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 loss to Phoenix.

EDGE Analysis

Demin was dialed in with his shot in the loss, but he was unable to take full advantage of the Suns' depleted backcourt. The rookie has provided solid leadership since taking over the starting role in the backcourt, but he could use an increase in shot volume and assists. Over 40 games, he's averaged 10.4 points, 3.4 assists and 3.0 rebounds.

Demin supplied 12 points (3-11 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 126-89 loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Demin continues to solidify his role in the backcourt, and the 2025 first-round pick figures to be a key piece of a youth-based rebuild that could begin as early as the upcoming trade deadline, with veterans like Michael Porter and Cam Thomas potentially heading elsewhere. Demin has outplayed fellow first-rounder Nolan Traore, and both rookies could see an enhanced role down the stretch if Thomas or Porter is shipped out of town.

Demin (foot) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, per Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today.

EDGE Analysis

The Nets gave Demin the night off in Monday's loss to the Suns, but the team is clearing the rookie first-rounder for Wednesday's action. Demin is showing plenty of promise recently, averaging 14.1 points, 3.2 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 3.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per game over his last 14 outings while shooting 45.3 percent from deep.

Demin (injury maintenance) is out for Monday's game against the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

As per usual, Demin is being held out for maintenance during the second leg of a back-to-back set. Demin was battling left foot plantar fasciitis at the beginning of the campaign, and the Nets have been cautious ever since. Nolan Traore and Tyrese Martin could see some extra reps as a result Monday.

Demin ended with five points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists and one block in 19 minutes during Friday's 112-109 win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Demin continues to alternate between good and bad performances, this time turning in a sub-par effort. The good news is that he continues to start and, for the most part, has been playing close to starter-level minutes. Assuming you can deal with the ups and downs, Demin warrants a roster spot in most standard formats.

Demin contributed 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt), five assists, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Monday's game to nurse a minor foot issue, Demin returned and continued to fill up the bucket from long distance. The rookie guard has drained at least five three-pointers in five of his last nine contests, averaging 14.9 points, 3.9 assists, 3.9 threes, 3.1 boards and 1.0 steals over that stretch while shooting a dazzling 48.6 percent from beyond the arc.
