Claxton ended with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 25 minutes during Monday's 113-105 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old center continues to make an impact at the rim. Claxton has recorded multiple blocks in three of four games since rejoining the Nets after dealing with a personal matter in early January, and since the beginning of December, he's averaging 12.6 points, 7.8 boards, 4.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 0.8 steals over his last 16 contests.

Claxton will start against the Clippers on Friday, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claxton operated under a minutes restriction off the bench in Wednesday's loss to Orlando following a two-game absence due to personal reasons, though he'll return to the starting five Friday. As a result, Day'Ron Sharpe will slide back to the second unit. Claxton has averaged 13.6 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks in 29.2 minutes per game over his last five starts.

Claxton provided seven points (3-4 FG, 1-4 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 104-103 overtime loss to Orlando.

EDGE Analysis

Claxton's upside is muted in the reserve role, but head coach Jordi Fernandez said that Claxton's minutes restrictions would be lifted his next time out, so we'd expect him to return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Clippers. Day'Ron Sharpe finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and five turnovers across 30 minutes in the one-point loss.

Claxton is not in the Nets' starting lineup against the Magic on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Claxton will operate under a minutes restriction and in a bench role in his return from a two-game absence due to personal reasons. Day'Ron Sharpe will draw the start for a third consecutive game.

Claxton will have his minutes monitored for Wednesday's game versus the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Jordi Fernandez said that while he'll be watching Claxton's workload in his return from a two-game absence Wednesday, he doesn't anticipate Claxton having any restrictions for Friday's game against the Clippers. Even with a minutes restriction, Claxton is a must-play option in standard fantasy leagues.

Claxton (personal) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claxton was not at practice Tuesday, but he's currently on the way back to Brooklyn. Claxton missed the past two games for the Nets, but he's expected to reclaim his starting spot from Day'Ron Sharpe on Wednesday.

Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said he expects Claxton (personal) to return to the team Monday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claxton has been away from the team for personal reasons and will miss his second straight game Sunday, but it sounds like he'll be available for Wednesday's game versus the Magic. Day'Ron Sharpe should be looking at another start Sunday, and he'll make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues with the increased opportunity.

Claxton (personal) will not play Sunday against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Claxton is set to miss a second straight game Sunday. His next chance to play comes Wednesday against Orlando. Day'Ron Sharpe could be in line for another start after a terrific showing against the Wizards on Friday.

Claxton (personal) will not play Friday against the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

This is a tough blow for Brooklyn, as the team is already very shorthanded for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Claxton sidelined, Day'Ron Sharpe and Danny Wolf will likely see sizable workloads for the Nets.

Claxton provided 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and three steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 120-107 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Claxton turned in arguably his best two-way performance of the season, falling one rebound short of a double-double, while also adding a season-high six combined steals-plus-blocks. Claxton has been able to put together another productive campaign thus far. In 12 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 13.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.2 combined steals-plus-blocks, which is good enough for top-40 value.
