Day'Ron Sharpe

Michael Porter Jr. made a go-ahead layup with 5.4 seconds remaining after Brooklyn had blown a 20-point lead in the fourth quarter, and the Nets beat the Chicago Bulls 112-109 on Friday night. Porter scored 26 points and Noah Clowney had 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Nets, who snapped a five-game losing streak. Day'Ron Sharpe scored 14 points and rookie Danny Wolf had 13.

After missing two games for personal reasons, Claxton was on a minutes restriction for Wednesday's loss to the Magic. For that reason, he was brought off the bench with Day'Ron Sharpe remaining in the starting lineup. Claxton will return to the lineup on Friday, bumping Sharpe to the bench.

While Nic Claxton (personal) is available, his minutes restriction keeps Sharpe in the starting lineup for another game. The other change is Williams, who steps in for Terance Mann. While he isn't a must-roster player, Williams has been more productive than Mann recently.

Nets coach Jordi Fernandez didn't give a specific number, but after missing two games, Claxton will be slightly limited for only one game. He will go back to his normal workload against the Clippers on Friday. Day'Ron Sharpe will likely head back to the bench, but he should still play a decent role in this game.

After missing the last two games for personal reasons, Claxton is absent from the Nets' injury report. His return means that Day'Ron Sharpe will head to the bench, lowering his fantasy value.
