Thomas racked up 32 points (11-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 120-112 win over the Bulls.
Thomas scored at least 30 points for the third time in six games. The fourth-year guard is currently ninth in the league in scoring with 28.2 points per game and is well on his way to a career-best campaign if he stays healthy. Thomas averaged 22.5 points per game across 66 regular-season appearances last season.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Struggles from field Wednesday
Rotowire
Thomas logged 19 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-106 win over Memphis.
Thomas had a rough showing in this win, but fortunately for him, the likes of Dennis Schroeder and Ziaire Williams stepped up to carry the Nets to their second win in their last three games. Thomas is bound to have a few down performances here and there, but he remains the most reliable offensive weapon the Nets have from a scoring perspective -- even when factoring in Schroder's impressive start to the campaign. Through five games, Thomas is averaging 27.4 points per game while shooting 43.4 percent from the floor.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Hits for 26 in OT loss to Denver
Rotowire
Thomas finished with 26 points (8-22 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
The fourth-year guard continues to fill up the bucket. Thomas has scored at least 24 points in four straight games to begin the season, and he's seeing incredible shot volume so far -- he's averaging 21.8 field-goal attempts per game, tied for sixth in the NBA with Cade Cunningham, and Thomas' 7.3 FT attempts a contest also puts him in the top 20 in the league. As long as Thomas is seeing elite usage, a career-best campaign should follow.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Leads all scorers in loss
Rotowire
Thomas produced 36 points (14-27 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 loss to the Hawks.
Thomas hit the ground running in the season-opener, landing a game-high 36 points. After a modest start to the game, Thomas caught fire late, pouring in 20 points in the fourth quarter. On a Nets team lacking offensive punch, Thomas is poised to shoulder the bulk of the scoring load. If you drafted him in the middle rounds, you have to be thrilled with his initial output.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Delivers team-high 17 points
Rotowire
Thomas notched 17 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-8 FT), a rebound, two assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 117-95 preseason loss to the 76ers.
Thomas wasn't as efficient as he's been in other preseason contests, but nonetheless, he continues to show he's ready for the start of the regular season. One of the most prolific pure scorers in The Association, Thomas will be the Nets' primary offensive weapon and should hover around the 20-point mark in most games. He's coming off a 2023-24 season in which he averaged a career-high 22.5 points per contest.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Plays 17 minutes in preseason loss
Rotowire
Thomas tallied 12 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two assists, a rebound and a steal across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 115-106 loss to the Clippers.
As is customary with most preseason games, Thomas and the rest of the first unit played sparingly. Tuesday's starting five was not a good representation of the eventual first unit as Nic Claxton (hamstring) was held out of the contest, but we did catch a glimpse of what the backcourt might look like. While Thomas is entrenched in his role at the off-guard slot, Dennis Schroder and Ben Simmons appear to be locked in battle for the other backcourt position. Claxton's absence resulted in a small-ball setup where Schroder and Simmons played alongside each other, but it will be interesting to see how both are utilized moving forward. Regardless of how things shake down, Thomas' role will be largely unaffected, and he should continue as one of the team's top producers.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Scores team-high 18 in finale
Rotowire
Thomas supplied 18 points (5-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 27 minutes during Sunday's 107-86 loss to the 76ers.
Thomas leading the team in scoring despite a 21-point defeat is emblematic of Brooklyn's 2023-24 campaign. While Thomas' 55.4 true-shooting percentage isn't exactly worthy of being an offensive engine, his tough-shot making and ability to get buckets versus all types of defenders has solidified him as a top isolation scorer of the next generation. Thomas ascended to career-high marks of 5.0 free-throw attempts and 6.0 three-point attempts per game this season, creating true multi-level productivity to help balance his scoring diet.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Posts team-high 21 in rout
Rotowire
Thomas finished with a team-high 21 points (8-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes during Sunday's 107-77 loss to the Kings.
The Nets were eliminated from the postseason a few days ago, and the injury-depleted team played like it Sunday. Thomas still scored more than 20 points for the seventh straight game since missing a contest due to a sore back, and he's averaged 28.3 points, 3.9 boards, 3.7 assists and 2.6 threes over that stretch.
Thomas chipped in 32 points (10-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 10-11 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 victory over Detroit.
Thomas wasn't efficient as a shooter and needed 25 shots to score 32 points, but his high volume resulted in an impressive stat line. Thomas has been one of Brooklyn's most consistent scoring options all season, and this was his 14th game of the campaign with 30 or more points.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Late scratch Monday
Rotowire
Thomas has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto due to lower-back stiffness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Thomas hadn't been included on the Nets' injury report, so it came as a surprise when he was ruled out less than an hour before the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. He'll be sidelined Monday along with Cameron Johnson (toe), Dennis Smith (hip), Keita Bates-Diop (shin) and Ben Simmons (back), leaving plenty of minutes up for grabs in the backcourt and on the wing.

Thomas finished with 19 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds and six assists across 36 minutes during Saturday's 105-93 loss to the Knicks.
The third-year guard led the Nets in scoring, but it was the first time in eight games since returning from an ankle/foot sprain that Thomas has failed to deliver at least 20 points. Over that stretch, he's averaged 24.9 points, 5.1 boards, 3.8 assists and 2.3 threes, emerging as the most reliable offensive threat in the Brooklyn lineup.

Thomas surpassed the 30-point mark for the second time across his last five games, and he continues to make an impact as Brooklyn's most reliable scoring option, even ahead of Mikal Bridges, in recent weeks. Since returning to the lineup five games ago, Thomas is averaging 26.8 points per game while shooting 48.5 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from three-point range. Those numbers will play out in any format.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Leads Brooklyn in scoring
Rotowire
Thomas totaled 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 loss to the Pacers.
Thomas carried the Nets in scoring and finished just two rebounds shy of a double-double, but he couldn't do everything on his own, and the Nets lost by a sizable 21-point margin. However, the team's overall struggles shouldn't impact Thomas' fantasy upside, as he has scored at least 20 points in each of his last four appearances since returning from a six-game absence March 9. Thomas has averaged 22.8 points per game since moving to a permanent starting role Jan. 27.

Thomas did a little of everything for Brooklyn in a winning effort, connecting on a team-high-tying handful of threes while leading all players in Sunday's contest in scoring during a well-rounded showcase. Thomas has buried five or more threes in seven games this season, including two straight contests. He has scored 28 or more points in two consecutive games and on 11 occurrences,

Thomas (ankle/foot) finished Saturday's 110-99 loss to the Hornets with 31 points (12-24 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two assists and one rebound across 30 minutes.
Thomas hit the ground running in his return from a six-game absence, taking on a team-high 37.9 percent usage rate while leading all scorers on either side. As per usual, Thomas offered little production beyond the scoring column, but he should remain a three-category asset (points, three-pointers and free-throw percentage) while the Nets are lacking in viable offensive playmakers.
