Traore recorded six points (2-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 17 minutes during Saturday's 104-97 loss to Philadelphia.
Traore was ineffective in his return from a one-game absence as he struggled with his shot while committing five turnovers. It's been an up-and-down season for the rookie first-rounder from France, but he has been a mainstay in the Nets' starting lineup since late January, and the extra playing time should help with his long-term development. Traore has averaged 10.2 points, 3.9 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 1.1 threes and 1.1 steals over 24.8 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Nets' Danny Wolf: First career double-double
Rotowire
Wolf closed with 15 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 26 minutes during Saturday's 104-97 loss to Philadelphia.
Wolf tied a season high with 10 boards during Saturday's game and finished as the Nets' leading scorer, en route to the first double-double of his NBA career. The rookie first-rounder has started in three of Brooklyn's last four games, but he'll likely come off the bench against the Trail Blazers on Monday if Nic Claxton (rest) is cleared to return.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Starting vs. Philadelphia
Rotowire
Williams is in the Nets' starting lineup against the 76ers on Saturday, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Williams missed the Nets' last two games due to an illness. He's been given the green light to return for Saturday's matinee and will make his sixth start of the season due to the absences of Michael Porter (ankle) and Drake Powell (knee). Williams' last start was Feb. 11 against the Pacers, when he played 28 minutes and finished with 19 points, five rebounds, one assist, three steals and five three-pointers.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Back to bench
Rotowire
Saraf won't start Saturday's game against the 76ers, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
With Nolan Traore back in action, Saraf will slide to a reserve role. However, the rookie could still see plenty of action, given Michael Porter (ankle) and Drake Powell (knee) are out Saturday.

Nets' Terance Mann: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Mann is in the Nets' starting lineup against the 76ers on Saturday, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Mann logged two healthy DNPs before returning to the Nets' rotation against the Hawks on Thursday, when he played 16 minutes off the bench and finished with eight points, two rebounds and one assist. Mann is back in the Nets' starting five for Saturday's contest and will work in an expanded role due to the absences of Drake Powell (knee) and Michael Porter (ankle).

Nets' Ochai Agbaji: Cleared to play Saturday
Rotowire
Agbaji (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Philadelphia.
As expected, Agbaji has been upgraded from probable to available, and despite being left out of the rotation the past two games, he could reclaim minutes versus Philadelphia. Egor Demin (foot) and Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) were recently ruled out for the season, while Nic Claxton (rest), Michael Porter (ankle) and Drake Powell (knee) are all unavailable Saturday, opening up potential minutes for Agbaji.
Porter (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
As expected, Porter has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second straight game. With Nic Claxton (rest) and Drake Powell (knee) also out, Terance Mann, Ziaire Williams, Danny Wolf and Josh Minott are all candidates for increased roles Saturday. Porter's next chance to suit up will come Monday against Portland.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Williams (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Williams is set to return from a two-game stint on the sidelines Saturday, and he could see major minutes with Michael Porter (ankle) not expected to play. Williams could be someone to consider as a streamer Saturday for those seeking some points, triples and steals.

Rotowire
Powell has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to left knee injury management, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Rotowire
Traore (rest) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Nets' Ochai Agbaji: Likely to be available Saturday
Rotowire
The Nets list Agbaji as probable for Saturday's game against the 76ers due to left ankle sporeness, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Agbaji has been left out of the Brooklyn rotation for the past two games in coach's decisions, but assuming his ankle injury doesn't keep him from playing Saturday, he could have a chance at reclaiming some minutes. In addition to Egor Demin (foot) and Day'Ron Sharpe (thumb) being out for the season, the Nets will be without Nic Claxton (rest), Michael Porter (ankle) and Drake Powell (knee) on Saturday.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Will rest Saturday
Rotowire
Claxton will be rested Saturday against the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
This is simply a maintenance day for Brooklyn's starting center. Look for him to be back in action Monday against the 76ers. Danny Wolf is likely going to shoulder a sizable workload Saturday.

Nets' Michael Porter: Doubtful for Saturday
Rotowire
Porter (ankle) is doubtful to play Saturday in Philadelphia, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Porter is on track to sit out his second straight game Saturday, which could result in another start for Danny Wolf and more opportunity for Josh Minott. Check back for official word on Porter's status closer to Saturday's tipoff.
Clowney had 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Thursday's 108-97 loss to Atlanta.
Clowney remained in the starting lineup, but his playing time has seen a sharp decline over the last week as the Nets experiment with different rotations. Even as a member of the first unit, the 21-year-old big man has seen his usage scaled back. After an eight-game stretch where he became a focal point of the rotation, averaging 28.9 minutes per contest, he has averaged just 19.3 minutes over his last three games.

Nets' Malachi Smith: Signs with Nets
Rotowire
Smith signed a 10-day contract with the Nets on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
With so many injuries in Brooklyn, Smith is being called up for emergency depth. While with Long Island in the G League, Smith averaged 14.4 points, 5.6 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals.

Nets' Josh Minott: Scores career-high 24 points
Rotowire
Minott posted 24 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals over 24 minutes during Thursday's 108-97 loss to Atlanta.
Minott saw some increased opportunity with Michael Porter (ankle) unavailable, and he made the most of it. He's capable of putting up these sorts of stat lines from time to time, but Minott has struggled to put it all together consistently, so we'll need to see a repeat performance before recommending him as an add in standard fantasy leagues.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Doesn't do much over 21 minutes
Rotowire
Claxton racked up eight points (4-6 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes during Thursday's 108-97 loss to the Hawks.
This was Claxton's second straight game without any defensive statistics and his fourth consecutive single-digit scoring performance. He's been quiet over that four-game stretch, posting meager averages of 5.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 blocks per contest.
