Gradey Dick

TOR Shooting Guard #1

Gradey Dick (left calf soreness) finished Sunday’s loss to the Cavaliers with 18 points (6-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, and three 3-pointers in 31 minutes.

Dick didn’t have his best night offensively, and things got worse when left calf soreness hastened his exit with 3:16 remaining in the fourth quarter. Davion Mitchell replaced him in the lineup and would likely return to the starting five if Gradey misses time. Toronto begins a four-game Week 6 in Detroit on Monday, so fantasy managers should plan for the possibility that Dick does not play.
Keegan Murray

SAC Small Forward #13

Keegan Murray amassed 21 points (7-of-14 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 35 minutes in Sunday’s loss to Brooklyn.

Having scored 22 points on 9-of-26 shooting in the three games prior, Murray surpassed the 20-point mark for the first time since November 6 on Sunday. Compared to last season’s numbers, his scoring average has decreased by two-plus points, with the 3-point, steals, and blocks averages also taking a hit. While fantasy managers likely expected the scoring to dip with DeMar DeRozan in the fold, the hope was that Murray would do enough in the other categories to maintain his value. That hasn’t happened thus far, with the Kings forward heading into Week 6 ranked just outside the top 100 in 9-cat formats.
DeMar DeRozan

SAC Small Forward #10

DeMar DeRozan accounted for 18 points (7-of-18 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, and five assists in 35 minutes in Sunday’s loss to Brooklyn.

While he has been healthy enough to play, DeRozan has not looked great in his first two games after missing three due to lower back tightness. In losses to the Clippers and Nets, he’s shot 13-of-37 from the field and 8-of-14 from the foul line. For a player who doesn’t offer much value in the defensive stats, a sharp downtick in percentages will significantly impact his fantasy value. DeRozan remains ranked just outside the top 50 in season-long value, but this isn’t a good time to navigate a back-to-back (Sacramento hosts Oklahoma City on Monday).
Domantas Sabonis

SAC Power Forward #11

Domantas Sabonis finished Sunday’s loss to the Nets with 13 points (6-of-12 FGs), 18 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 35 minutes.

Sabonis’ double-double streak rolls on, as he hasn’t failed to record one since Sacramento’s season opener. The Kings center is providing first-round per-game value in 8- and 9-cat formats, doing enough to minimize the impact of his 3.6 turnovers per game in the latter. Sacramento plays four games in Week 6, beginning with Oklahoma City on Monday.
De'Aaron Fox

SAC Point Guard #5

De’Aaron Fox logged 37 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Nets, accumulating 31 points (10-of-16 FGs, 8-of-12 FTs), one rebound, five assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers.

Fox was rolling in the first half, scoring 24 points to keep the Kings within striking distance. Give the Nets credit for adjusting their defense after halftime to get the ball out of his hands, with Fox scoring just seven points the rest of the way. Closing in on first-round per-game value for the season, he’s produced at that level over the last two weeks. Fox and the Kings play four games in Week 6, beginning with the Thunder on Monday.
Ben Simmons

BKN Point Guard #10

Ben Simmons (lower back injury management) tallied four points, three rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one blocked shot in 27 minutes in Sunday’s win over Sacramento.

Dennis Schroder’s absence did not help Simmons’ production despite him getting more time on the ball. Unfortunately, injuries and availability concerns have sapped most of his fantasy value. And Simmons will not play in Monday’s game against the Warriors, the first of four the Nets play in Week 6. Schroder is expected to be available and take on the primary playmaker responsibilities.
Nic Claxton

BKN Center #33

Nic Claxton finished Sunday’s win over the Kings with four points (2-of-3 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two blocked shots in 23 minutes.

After coming off the bench in his first game after missing three with a lower back strain, Claxton started on Sunday and played 23 minutes. Domantas Sabonis is never an easy matchup, so, unsurprisingly, Nic finished with an unimpressive stat line. No decision was made regarding his availability for Monday’s game against the Warriors, so fantasy managers should consider Claxton questionable. If he does not play, Trendon Watford (3/3/0/2/1 in 15 minutes) will figure more prominently in the rotation, as Noah Clowney sprained his ankle during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game.
Ziaire Williams

BKN Small Forward #1

Ziaire Williams amassed six points (2-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, and one 3-pointer in 20 minutes in Sunday’s win over Sacramento.

Williams started Sunday’s game for Dorian Finney-Smith, who sat due to a sprained ankle. While he didn’t provide much value in his 20 minutes on the floor, Williams may have another opportunity to start on Monday. Finney-Smith and Ben Simmons (back) will not play when the Nets open a four-game Week 6 in San Francisco against the Warriors.
Cam Thomas

BKN Shooting Guard #24

Cam Thomas (lower back soreness) shot 11-of-22 from the field and 8-of-11 from the foul line in Sunday’s win over the Kings, scoring 34 points with two rebounds, six assists, and four 3-pointers in 36 minutes.

Thomas came out hot, scoring 22 points in the first half as Brooklyn grabbed control of Sunday’s game. They had to hang on as the Kings made their charge, but the Nets got the job done ahead of Monday’s matchup with the Warriors. As impactful as Thomas was scoring-wise, he had six assists and just one turnover. Improved playmaking will increase his fantasy value and give him a better chance of achieving a significant payday in free agency next summer. Brooklyn plays four games in Week 6. Thomas fell hard during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win but said afterward that he was fine. Consider him questionable for Monday.
Dorian Finney-Smith

BKN Small Forward #28

Dorian Finney-Smith (left ankle sprain) will not play in Monday’s game against the Warriors.

Finney-Smith, who has been playing through the sprained ankle recently, will sit out both games of the Nets’ northern California back-to-back. Ziaire Williams and Keon Johnson are two players who may pick up additional minutes due to Brooklyn being down multiple rotation players.
