Raptors' Justin Hamilton: En route to Canada
Justin Hamilton was traded to the Toronto Raptors on Saturday in exchange for DeMarre Carroll, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.The Nets are taking on Carroll's bloated salary over the next two years while also receiving a 2018 first-round pick and a 2018 second-round pick from the Raptors. Hamilton has shown brief flashes of productivity over his three-year career, but he's merely a pawn in this transaction. He has one year left on his current deal and will likely spend the upcoming season at the end of the bench with limited playing time.

Nets' Justin Hamilton: Will start at center Wednesday
Justin Hamilton will start at center for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.The Brooklyn Nets are resting Brook Lopez on Wednesday, which allows Hamilton to enter the starting five at center. Trevor Booker (rest) and Quincy Acy (ankle) are both out as well, so there should be a ton of playing time available, which could allow Hamilton to push for a 30-plus minutes role. He'll be an intriguing, low-cost DFS play Wednesday.

Nets' Justin Hamilton: Scores team-high 20 points Friday
Justin Hamilton registered 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes in Friday's 129-108 loss to the Wizards.In his first back-to-back double-digit scoring games since January 15th, Hamilton showcased his range as a big man, connecting on all but one of his threes from the floor Friday night. He doesn't play half of the games and when he does play, his minutes are limited, so he should remain on waivers in most fantasy formats.

Nets' Justin Hamilton: Doesn't play Saturday in coach's decision
Justin Hamilton failed to see the floor in Saturday's 130-116 loss to the Trail Blazers in a coach's decision.Hamilton missed Friday's loss to the Jazz with the illness, but had been cleared to suit up for the second half of the back-to-back set. Though he was seemingly healthy enough to contribute, coach Kenny Atkinson opted to go with smaller lineups when starting center Brook Lopez was on the bench, leaving no room for Hamilton to crack the rotation. Hamilton has just one double-digit scoring performance in his last 16 games and remains waiver-wire bait in most formats.

Nets' Justin Hamilton: Probable to play Saturday vs. Trail Blazers
Justin Hamilton (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.Hamilton was held out of action in Friday's loss to the Jazz with the illness, but the expectation is that he'll be cleared to return Saturday in his usual capacity. The 26-year-old had a handful of explosive performances early in the season, but he's settled into a lesser role over the last couple of months and has topped 20 minutes only twice since Jan. 27.

Nets' Justin Hamilton: Ruled out Friday vs. Jazz
Justin Hamilton won't play Friday against the Jazz due to an illness.Hamilton wasn't listed on the Brooklyn Nets' injury report heading into the day, so the illness may have surfaced at some point after morning shootaround. The big man's lack of availability will allow the Nets to keep Andrew Nicholson active for the night, and he could end up settling in as the main backup to starting center Brook Lopez.

Nets' Justin Hamilton: Rejoins bench rotation Sunday
Justin Hamilton had eight points (4-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, two blocks, one assist, and one steal in 19 minutes during Sunday's 103-95 loss to the Raptors.After receiving a DNP-coach's decision on Friday against the Pacers, Hamilton rejoined the bench rotation and reached his average for minutes on Sunday. There isn't a ton of time available behind Brook Lopez at center, and the two big men very rarely share the floor together. As a result, Hamilton is best reserved for use in deeper leagues unless Lopez gets dealt before the trade deadline or suffers an injury.

Nets' Justin Hamilton: Dropped from rotation Friday
Justin Hamilton (coach's decision) didn't see the floor in Friday's 106-97 loss to the Pacers.Coach Kenny Atkinson has shown a willingness to rest his big men periodically throughout the season, but Hamilton's failure to enter Friday's game looks like a pure benching, as the Brooklyn Nets weren't in the midst of a back-to-back set and kept things competitive. It appears Brook Lopez, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Trevor Booker are clearly ahead of Hamilton in the frontcourt pecking order, but he should still have a shot at usurping Quincy Acy and Luis Scola for spots in the rotation in future contests. Even so, with only one double-digit scoring performance in his last eight appearances, Hamilton's fantasy upside remains limited.
