Day'Ron Sharpe

Claxton is in danger of missing his first game since January 14. If he's unable to go, expect Day'Ron Sharpe and Trendon Watford to handle center duties.

Sharpe had one of his best games of the season, as the 14 points were two shy of his high (16 vs. Indiana, January 6). Add in the nine rebounds, and this was the kind of performance that may get him on a few deep-league radars ahead of the "silly season." However, there's no need to add him now, as Nic Claxton remains in the starting lineup. If that changes later in the season, Sharpe will be worth a look in deeper formats.

Sharpe is available after being listed as questionable on the Nets' initial injury report. He'll provide depth off the bench, but he isn't in a position where he can offer reliable fantasy value.

Sharpe injured his left hamstring last week, but it didn't force him to miss any games. However, this is Brooklyn's first back-to-back since then, and he may remain sidelined. With Trendon Watford out already, they may have to rely on small ball lineups if Sharpe can't suit up.

Watford will miss the second night of a back-to-back, which isn't surprising, since he has only played three games since missing over a month with a left hamstring strain. Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) will fill some extra minutes off the bench, though he is questionable to play.
