Jalen Wilson

Thomas and Watford will sit out the first game of the Nets' back-to-back as they face the Cavaliers on Tuesday. Cameron Johnson (knee) will be available, so he can slide into the spot in the starting lineup left vacant by Thomas. As for Watford, his absence frees up additional minutes for Noah Clowney and Jalen Wilson.

Watford sat out the second night of Brooklyn's back-to-back this past weekend, but he should return to his role playing about 20 minutes per game off the bench. His return will likely take away a few minutes from Jalen Wilson and Day'Ron Sharpe.
