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.
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.
Johnson finished with another productive stat line, as he led his team in the scoring department and chipped in some meaningful counting stats in the process. Johnson has been the team's leading scorer over the last two weeks, offering useful contributions in a number of categories and working his way into the top 100 in per-game fantasy hoops value.
Keon Johnson and D Angelo Russell made three-pointers in the final 10 seconds, and the Brooklyn Nets stunned the Houston Rockets 99-97 on Tuesday night for their first home victory in two months.
Russell couldn't find his shot all night, but he buried a clutch three when it mattered most. Down four with under 10 seconds to play, Keon Johnson hit a three to pull within one. Tosan Evbuomwan then stole the ball and fed Russell for a go-ahead triple to give Brooklyn an improbable two-point lead which the team would not relinquish. The Nets' roster is one of the whackiest in the Association. Russell should continue to see meaningful run, but the team is motivated to play its young guys, leaving Russell to log minutes in the 25-28 range rather than 30-plus, limiting his upside.
