Day'Ron Sharpe

Sharpe is coming off one of his better games of the season after posting a 19/5/2/2/1 line against the Grizzlies on Monday. He's dealing with a left thumb sprain and will get the night off for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Nic Claxton should handle an increased workload with Sharpe out of action, while Danny Wolf could operate as Claxton's top backup. The absence of Williams isn't as impactful, but it could mean more minutes for Ochai Agbaji.

Despite coming off the bench, Sharpe enjoyed one of his best games of the season in Monday's 126-115 win over the Grizzlies. A double-digit scorer in three of his last four appearances, the Nets' backup center has hit 19 points four times since February 1. At this point in the season, Sharpe has reached a point where deep-league managers can justify slotting him into lineups, even on nights when Nic Claxton (nine points, eight rebounds, five assists and two blocks) is available.

Claxton sat out Sunday's tilt with the Cavaliers, but he'll return following a one-game absence. Claxton's availability will push Day'Ron Sharpe back to the bench after a lukewarm performance in Sunday's spot start.

Claxton was held out of Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers, with Day'Ron Sharpe replacing him in the starting lineup. With Claxton on track to return on Tuesday, Sharpe would be asked to come off the bench. While his fantasy value takes a hit, those who have added Sharpe should hold onto him.

A sprained right thumb will keep Claxton out for the Nets' final game of Week 18. Day'Ron Sharpe has been the replacement in the starting lineup on previous days when Claxton was unavailable, and he is worth streaming as a spot starter.
