|
| Brook Lopez led all players in scoring on Saturday, but the Nets fell for the seventh consecutive time this season. Lopez had 23 points and seven rebounds as the Nets lost to the Celtics by ten. |
Our View: Lopez is getting nearly 18 points and eight boards this season, and he has been one of the only reasons for fans to show up to watch this team. With Devin Harris and Chris Douglas-Roberts out, Lopez has even more pressure on his shoulder to get this team a win. |
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that New Jersey Nets' guard Chris Douglas-Roberts has been diagnosed with the swine flu. CDR missed the team's last game Friday with flu-like symptoms. |
Our View: Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for the Nets, one of the only bright spots on the team this season gets hit with the swine flu. The team has taken all precautionary measures to contain the illness, but it looks like he could miss some time. |
|
|
|
| Courtney Lee could miss a few games as he battles a groin injury, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. |
Our View: Lee is averaging 11.8 points per game through six games for his new team this season. He is a very fringe fantasy option. |
|
|
|
| Brook Lopez had a good outing in Friday's 97-94 loss at Philadelphia, as he racked up 22 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, one steal and three blocks. |
Our View: The young center got the job done for fantasy owners tonight, and collected his second double-double. |
|
|
|
| According to the Newark Star-Ledger, Nets' point guard Devin Harris could miss up to another month due to his groin injury. Harris said he will miss at least two more weeks with the injury. |
Our View: Harris will be evaluated after two weeks, and if he is not 100 percent he said he will sit out another two weeks. This is starting to become a very frustrating situation for fantasy owners, but hang tight and he will be worth it when he gets healthy. |
|
|
|
| The Newark Star-Ledger is reporting that Nets' guard Chris Douglas-Roberts is not traveling with the team to Philadelphia due to an illness. CDR either has the flu or an extremely bad cold. |
Our View: The Nets have been decimated by injury already this season, so they can ill-afford to lose CDR, who has been their best player over the last week or two. We will update his condition before the game tomorrow, but it seems very likely that he will be out. |
|
|
|
| Chris Douglas-Roberts led the Nets in scoring yet again on Wednesday in New Jersey's loss to the Nuggets. Douglas-Roberts had 19 points and seven rebounds in the game. |
Our View: CDR continues to produce while Devin Harris is sidelined, and the team will need him even more now that Yi is expected to miss four weeks or so. While these guys are out, it would be a good idea to give CDR a chance on your roster if he is available. |
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, Yi Jianlian's knee injury has been diagnosed as a Grade 1 sprain, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. He will be out from 2-6 weeks. |
Our View: No telling exactly how long he'll be out, as the timetable is quite broad, but this type of injury typically heals within a month. Eduardo Najera, Bobby Simmons, Josh Boone and Sean Williams will benefit from Jianlan's absence and should see an increase in playing time, but none are fantasy worthy. Jianlan averaged 9.8 PPG and 7.5 RPG before injuring the knee. |
|
|
|
| InsideHoops.com is reporting that Yi Jianlian is out indefinitely after spraining his knee in the Nets loss to the Bobcats on Monday. |
Our View: Yi is averaging 9.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game through four games this season. He missed a combined 37 games with injury in his first two years in the league, so this certainly comes as no surprise. His injury will likely force the Nets to give Eduardo Najera more playing time. |
|
|
|
| Yi Jianlian left Monday's game against the Bobcats with a knee injury. He did not return to action after being helped of fthe floor by teammates. |
Our View: We will update Yi's condition when it is released by the team, so stay tuned. The Nets can't afford to be without him for long, as they are already without starting point guard Devin Harris. |
|
|
|
| Brook Lopez scored 18 points in the Nets 79-68 loss to the Bobcats on Monday. Lopez had five rebounds and four blocks in the contest as well. |
Our View: Lopez is scoring the ball for the Nets, but he has yet to become a force on the boards consistently. Despite his 15 rebound performance in the opener, he was still only averaging 7.7 a game heading into tonight. He also had seven turnovers tonight, which was more than the six he had in all of the team's previous three games. |
|
|
|
| Chris Douglas-Roberts led the way for the Nets on Monday, but New Jersey fell to the Bobcats by a score of 79-68. Douglas-Roberts finished with 20 points, six rebounds, and an assist in the game. |
Our View: CDR has been very good over the last two games, as he has averaged over 20 points over that span. With the injuries to the team, CDR might be the next best fantasy option in New Jersey after Brook Lopez. |
|
|
|
| The Score is reporting that Nets' guard Devin Harris will be out indefinitely due to his groin injury. Harris aggravated the injury in Friday's game against the Magic. |
Our View: Harris is expected to miss at least ten days, but this news means he could be out for more. Fantasy owners should be concerned, as he has struggled with injuries throughout the preseason and into the regular season. We will keep you updated on his status going forward. |
|
|
|
| According to the New York Post, Nets' point guard Devin Harris will miss seven-to-ten days due to his strained groin. Harris aggravated the injury in Friday's loss to the Magic. |
Our View: The Nets don't sound optimistic about this diagnosis, and they feel ten days is the minimum amount of time he could miss. Harris owners knew the injury risk when you drafted him, but he is worth it as long as he comes back at 100 percent. |
