Schroder made his Warriors debut on Thursday, and it did not go well. The assist tally was positive for fantasy managers, but they took a bath otherwise. The good news is that there's still a lot of basketball to be played. Those who have Schroder rostered should not panic, as he's been much better than this throughout the season. Being immediately thrust into the starting lineup is a positive, given his role in Brooklyn and questions regarding how things would change with the Warriors.
While there remains concern regarding what the addition of Dennis Schroder could do to Podziemski's fantasy value, he produced a solid stat line on Thursday. However, with the game being a blowout, Podz played 25 minutes to Schroder's 22. That minutes split is unlikely to stick, but managers with Podziemski rostered should hold onto him for now.
Johnson has now scored at least 22 points in four of his previous five games. He's been asked to fill it up with Cam Thomas out and Dennis Schroder on a new team. Fantasy managers should expect frequent scoring outbursts from Johnson given the Nets' current roster.
Simmons paced Brooklyn in assists once again with Dennis Schroder is our of the picture. He's been a double-digit scorer in each of his last two games and could be free to open up a little more of his own offense as the Nets' primary playmaker while Cam Thomas is recovering.
