Terance Mann amassed 12 points (4-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Mavericks.Mann won't bring much to the table as a scorer, but the Nets starting a rookie point guard (Egor Demin) opens the door for him to occasionally have a night like he did on Friday. The seven assists matched Mann's season-high, and fantasy managers also received solid value in steals and percentages. However, he is still ranked well outside the top-200 in eight-cat formats, so there's no need to take the plunge following Friday's performance. Demin only played 18 minutes in Dallas, finishing with three points (1-of-7 FGs), one rebound, one assist, two steals and one three-pointer.
Michael Porter Jr. (back) is not on the injury report against the Pelicans on Saturday.MPJ will be back after a one-game absence, which came on the second night of a back-to-back. He'll be back to occupy his typical starting spot, and with Terance Mann available, that will push Tyrese Martin to the bench.
Ziaire Williams notched 23 points (7-of-14 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Jazz.With Terance Mann limited to 18 minutes after a two-game absence and the hard fall he took during the second half of Thursday's game, there was more room for Williams to contribute despite coming off the bench. The former lottery pick finished with his second 20-point game of the season and first since October 24. However, while Thursday was good, Williams' season-long fantasy value remains subpar. The only reason to consider adding him ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans would be if Mann and Michael Porter Jr. can't play.
