Injured Joe Harris To Start On ThursdayBrooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris will move into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. The veteran sharpshooter will look to help fill the void while Kevin Durant (knee) is sidelined. In 18 starts, Harris is averaging 10.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists this season. He is certainly worth a look as a streaming option while he has an expanded role. Also, Seth Curry and T.J. Warren have more fantasy appeal as they should both have bigger roles while Durant is sidelined.

Injured Kevin Durant Likely To Miss A MonthBrooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) is expected to miss roughly a month of action. This is bad news for the Nets who were playing extremely well as of late. The All-Star forward is dealing with a right MCL sprain. It sounds like his return date is around February 9th, but the All-Star break is only 10 days away from that. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Nets hold out Durant until after the All-Star Break. His absence is going to leave a massive void in the rotation. The Nets are expected to use a committee approach in Durant's absence. T.J. Warren, Yuta Watanabe, Joe Harris and Seth Curry are all expected to see more playing time. It's tough to know which player is going to do the best out of the bunch. Fantasy managers are likely going to have to take a wait-and-see approach here.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant (knee) is set to miss time following an injury during Sunday's game. The All-Star forward tweaked his knee and underwent further imaging on Monday. Those results revealed that Durant has suffered an MCL sprain in his right knee. The Nets plan to shut down Durant and re-evaluate him in two weeks. That is not good news for the surging Nets. They will likely have to use a committee approach to fill the void with Durant out. The minutes will likely be split up between Yuta Watanabe, Joe Harris and Seth Curry. None of them are great fantasy options, but could be streaming choices depending on their increased roles.

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant is set to have an MRI on his right knee on Monday after injuring it in Sunday's clash with Miami. Durant got hurt near the end of the third quarter when Jimmy Butler fell on his knee. The four-time scoring champ tried to carry on at first, but the Nets called a timeout 30 seconds after the incident occurred and Durant was done for the night. He finished with 17 points on 5-for-11 shooting and had five rebounds with two assists, one steal and one block. Kyrie Irving eventually led the team to a 102-101 win with 29 points. The team will be relying very heavily on him if Durant is forced to miss time. Meanwhile, T.J. Warren and Yuta Watanabe should share the bulk of the available minutes.

Injured T.J. Warren Picks Up Questionable Tag On FridayBrooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren (ribs) suffered a rib contusion during Wednesday's game and had to leave the game after playing just 14 minutes. He wasn't able to return to the game and now is uncertain to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. Warren has played a big part in the offense while coming off of the bench. Over the last nine games, he has averaged 11.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game on 21.8 minutes per contest. If he can't suit up, look for Joe Harris and Yuta Watanabe to receive some more opportunities.

Brooklyn Nets forward T.J. Warren exited Wednesday's matchup against Chicago in the fourth quarter after suffering a rib contusion on a screen. It was a bad ending to a bad night, as Warren failed to score in 14 minutes. The 29-year-old has bounced back well from awful injury setbacks, averaging 9.5 points and 3.4 rebounds in 19.8 minutes off the Brooklyn bench this season. Joe Harris and Yuta Watanabe will have a chance to pick up extra minutes if Warren doesn't recover well enough to play Friday against New Orleans.

Injured Royce O'Neale To Start On WednesdayBrooklyn Nets forward Royce O'Neale (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. O'Neale is back in the starting five after missing Monday's game due to a non-COVID related illness. His return will shift Seth Curry to the second unit, which means his fantasy value is going to take a significant hit. The expectation is that O'Neale will have his normal role, so Curry isn't going to be a favorable streaming option right now.

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Joe Harris (knee) will not play Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets. The sharpshooter has missed the Nets' previous three games and will sit out versus Charlotte, as stated by head coach Jacque Vaughn. As a result, Royce O'Neale and T.J. Warren should remain Brooklyn's top options on the wing, with Yuta Watanabe also expected to see an increase in minutes.

Injured Ben Simmons Will Likely Play On Saturday Against CharlotteBrooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (illness) has been listed as probable to play in the team's game against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. He was suffering from a non-COVID illness that seems to be clearing up enough for him to remain on the court and not miss any time. He played well in a supporting role during the team's win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should look for him to continue his all-around play, but shouldn't expect any sort of elite fantasy value.

The Brooklyn Nets are unsure when Joe Harris (knee) will rejoin the team as he deals with knee soreness and swelling. Harris is currently rehabbing his knee in Brooklyn while the Nets are on a road trip through the end of the calendar year. This does not sound like good news for Harris and fantasy managers would be wise to stay away from the situation. Seth Curry and Yuta Watanabe should continue to get extra minutes off the bench while Harris continues to recover.
