The only other update that head coach Jordi Fernandez provided was that they haven't made a decision on D'Angelo Russell's status for their matchup with Toronto, though he is still dealing with soreness in his ankle. Depending on that statuses of Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams, Trendon Watford and Maxwell Lewis could be in line for another starting nod.
Sharpe has missed four straight games with a knee injury and there's no telling when he'll return to the hardwood. Drew Timme is next in line to back up Nic Claxton at center.
The Nets are without D'Angelo Russell and Nic Claxton, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Martin will replace Russell, which also raises Keon Johnson's fantasy ceiling. As for Claxton, he'll be replaced in the lineup by Clowney, who is a must-stream player, especially with Day'Ron Sharpe also out.
Hours after signing a two-year contract, Timme made his Nets debut against the Clippers. Noah Clowney and Day'Ron Sharpe being out meant rotation minutes for the former Gonzaga standout, and he recorded a double-double. There's no need to add Timme in the aftermath of this performance, but it's an indicator of what he can offer when playing rotation minutes. The Nets visit the Wizards on Saturday, so one (or both) of those reserve bigs may be available.
Clowney joins Day'Ron Sharpe on the sideline for Friday's game, which means more playing time for Trendon Watford. He'll be worth streaming in deep leagues due to the Nets' lack of options. Also, Drew Timme is available to make his Nets debut, but he would not be worth streaming.
