Jalen Wilson

Wilson was Nets coach Jordi Fernandez's choice to fill the void left by Cam Thomas, who did not play due to lower back tightness. And he answered the call, knocking down five 3-pointers and scoring 17 points. The only issue for fantasy managers was that Wilson did not provide much value outside the points and triples, amassing one rebound and one steal. Even with his solid offensive performance on Tuesday, Wilson is not a must-stream player when allowed to start.

Initially probable for Tuesday's game, Thomas was downgraded to questionable and then out. His absence opens up a space in the starting lineup, with Jalen Wilson being tabbed to fill the void. He and Ziaire Williams should figure more prominently in Brooklyn's rotation.

Wilson is the lone change to the lineup, as he'll step in for the injured Cam Thomas. Wilson, Schroder, and Johnson will all have opportunities to score, as Brooklyn will be without its top scorer. Also, look for Ziaire Williams to take on a more prominent role among the Nets reserves.

Wilson has reached double figures in three of his last four games, with Sunday's point total being one shy of his season-high. He's played consistent rotation minutes, exceeding 20 in seven of the Nets' nine games in November. While that isn't enough to make Wilson a credible fantasy target, he's worth adding to your early "silly season" watch lists.

While Simmons' absence frees up additional bench minutes, Finney-Smith sitting means the Nets must also fill a spot in the starting lineup. Jalen Wilson and Keon Johnson are two players who should play more, along with Noah Clowney. Of the three, Clowney offers the highest fantasy upside.
