D'Angelo Russell

Due to Ben Simmons (illness) being a late scratch, Russell was a late addition to the starting lineup. He's still under a minutes restriction, so the Nets point guard's minutes would be limited even if Sunday's game were competitive. With Brooklyn's three-game Week 13 slate including a back-to-back, Russell could be limited to two appearances, which would not do fantasy managers any favors. His availability impacts Keon Johnson, who finished Sunday's loss with six points, one rebound, and four assists in 23 minutes off the bench.

Announced as a starter despite having his status downgraded to questionable, Simmons has now been removed from the lineup and will not play. D'Angelo Russell will start, giving the Nets a true point guard to begin Sunday's game. Joining Russell in the starting lineup are Cameron Johnson, Ziaire Williams, Noah Clowney, and Nic Claxton.

Russell is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Thunder, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Simmons was added to the injury report late, with the Nets adding him 30 minutes before the scheduled tip time. If he can't play, the Nets can move D'Angelo Russell into the starting lineup to serve as the primary playmaker.

Like D'Angelo Russell, Simmons' minutes have been restricted for injury management reasons. He isn't going to offer much scoring, but fantasy managers can still derive value in other categories. Simmons produced solid rebound, assist, and defensive numbers against the Lakers, and he's provided 10th-round value in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. Availability will always be an issue for Simmons, as he still isn't playing both ends of back-to-backs, but he can still add value, especially for managers not needing points.
