It appears like Watford is set to miss at least four games due to his hamstring tightness. Noah Clowney will be among the players who'll get more of a chance to dominate reserve forward minutes while he recovers.
Watford is back on the shelf after tweaking his hamstring against the Cavaliers. Noah Clowney has a chance to capitalize on his absence.
Watford played 10 minutes before his hamstring flared up, with the Nets ruling him out for the rest of the night early in the third quarter. He finishes with eight points and one 3-pointer, shooting 2-of-3 from the field and 3-of-3 from the foul line. Noah Clowney may pick up additional minutes if Watford misses time beyond Monday.
Already ruled out for Wednesday's game against Indiana, Williams will not play on Sunday, either. The Nets will provide an update on his status following that contest with the Bucks. Trendon Watford and Dariq Whitehead may pick up additional minutes, as the Nets are down multiple players due to injury.
With Williams sidelined again, Jalen Wilson should be in line for another start, with Trendon Watford and Dariq Whitehead potentially seeing extra minutes off the bench. While all are capable of providing decent streaming value, they are risky options, since Jordi Fernandez could make some major rotation changes due to the amount of injuries.
