Nicolas Claxton totaled eight points (4-7 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Monday's 130-101 loss to Cleveland.After scoring in double figures and grabbing at least eight rebounds in three straight games, Claxton has failed to reach either of those plateaus in two consecutive contests.

Since moving into the starting lineup to begin December, Claxton has averaged 12.2 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.7 minutes across six games, but he's certainly trending in the wrong direction after his latest performances.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Efficient night from field in win
Nicolas Claxton provided 16 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 99-90 victory over Indiana.It was an efficient night from the floor for Claxton, who matched his season high in scoring that he set back during the Oct. 29 loss to the Nuggets. The 25-year-old big man's role has fluctuated under head coach Jordi Fernandez this season, and he's also dealt with various injuries, but his production is beginning to stabilize a bit in the past few weeks. Over his last six games (four starts), Claxton is averaging 10.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 24.8 minutes per contest while shooting 65.2 percent from the field. While it's also worth noting he knocked down his first three-pointer of the year Wednesday, fantasy managers still shouldn't expect outside scoring to become a habit for Claxton.
