Cameron Johnson

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.

After scoring 17 points on 3-of-10 shooting from the field on Friday, Johnson was more accurate in Sunday's rematch with the Knicks. He's far exceeded his Yahoo ADP (122) over the first four weeks, providing top 50 per-game value in 9-cat formats. The lingering question for Johnson and some of the other Nets veterans is whether or not the front office will look to move some (or all) of them by the February trade deadline. Regardless of what happens, Johnson needs to be rostered everywhere.

With Finney-Smith back after a two-game absence and Nic Claxton (back) out for at least one week, the Nets have made two changes to their starting lineup. Simmons will fill the void left by Claxton, while Finney-Smith's return bumps Ziaire Williams to the bench.

Hitting the 20-point mark for the second time, Johnson established a new season-high with 26 points on Sunday. He's reached double figures in all seven, providing the value that wasn't present for much of an injury-riddled 2023-24 campaign. Brooklyn is one of the few teams that will only play three games in Week 3, beginning with the Grizzlies on Monday.
