D'Lo is yet another addition to a burgeoning list of injured players for the decimated Nets. Expect Keon Johnson to see an uptick in usage if Russell is forced to sit this one out.
Russell is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets due to an illness.
Johnson is back in the lineup after missing six games with a sprained right ankle. As a result, Jalen Wilson moves to the bench, where his already-low fantasy value takes a hit. However, he will remain in the rotation. The other four starters are unchanged from Tuesday's wild victory over the Rockets.
Simmons sat out the first night of this back-to-back, which will allow him to suit up against the Wizards. Simmons should split the minutes at point guard with D'Angelo Russell, who will be available to play in both legs of a back-to-back for the first time since being traded to Brooklyn.
Following his game-winning shot against the Rockets, Nets guard D'Angelo Russell praised Brooklyn's coaches and his teammates for the last-second win.
