Nets' Nic Claxton: Available for second half of B2B
Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) is available for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.Claxton's only absence this season came during the second half of Brooklyn's first back-to-back set, so it's encouraging to see the big man cleared to suit up Monday after playing 22 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Pistons. However, despite being consistently available, Claxton remains limited due to a lingering hamstring injury from training camp. He's come off the bench in all six of his appearances, playing no more than 26 minutes in any single game. With Ben Simmons (rest/back) unavailable Monday, Claxton may move into the starting lineup, but it'd be surprising to see the Brooklyn Nets push Claxton during the second half of a back-to-back set after they've been cautious with him thus far.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Struggles from line
Nicolas Claxton notched eight points (2-4 FG, 4-12 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 loss to the Pistons.Claxton's workload of 21.7 minutes per game is far from ideal, as the Brooklyn Nets continue to rely on small-ball lineups. What's more concerning, however, is Claxton's free throw shooting. Through six games, he's hitting a mere 38.9 percent from the stripe, well on pace for a career-low mark.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Near double-double in reserve role
Nicolas Claxton contributed 12 points (6-8 FG), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 120-112 victory over the Bulls.Claxton returned from a one-game absence Friday due to a hamstring injury, and he finished the game as the Brooklyn Nets' leading rebounder and third-leading scorer behind Cam Thomas (32) and Cameron Johnson (14). Claxton will continue to be the first big man off the bench for the Nets, but he could be inserted into the starting five if Ben Simmons is sidelined for games while managing his back injury.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Sitting out Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said that Nicolas Claxton will sit out Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies due to hamstring injury management, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.Claxton will miss the second leg of the Nets' back-to-back set after he recorded 16 points (8-9 FG), 12 rebounds, three blocks and two assists in 26 minutes in Tuesday's 144-139 overtime loss to the Nuggets before fouling out with 22 seconds left in overtime. The 25-year-old center has come off the bench in each of the Nets' first four games of the season, but his minutes have increased in every contest, and he should soon move back into the starting lineup once the hamstring injury is further in the rear-view mirror.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Double-double off bench
Nicolas Claxton supplied 10 points (5-6 FG), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 22 minutes during Sunday's 115-102 win over the Bucks.Head coach Jordi Fernandez told reporters before Sunday's game that Claxton would see more playing time than he did over the first two games of the regular season. Claxton's 22 minutes were only two more than he logged during Friday's game against the Magic, but the 25-year-old center was productive during his on-court time and he registered his first double-double of the season. Claxton should serve as the Brooklyn Nets' first big man off the bench while Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) is sidelined.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Operating off bench again
Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Bucks, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.Claxton will come off the bench for a third straight game, but coach Jordi Fernandez said the big man would see more minutes than he has in the last two games. Claxton has played 15 and 20 minutes, respectively, during the first two games of the season, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him closer to 25 against Milwaukee even though he's not in the starting lineup. Brooklyn will start Ben Simmons, Dennis Schroder, Cam Thomas, Cameron Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith for a third straight game.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Will see more minutes Sunday
Coach Jordi Fernandez said Nicolas Claxton (hamstring) will see an increase in minutes during Sunday's game against the Bucks, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.Due to a lingering hamstring injury from training camp, Claxton has operated off the bench to start the season, playing 15 and 20 minutes, respectively, during the first two games. It's unclear when Claxton will return to the starting lineup, but he has avoided a setback and is slowly seeing his minute restriction eased. Based on the current trajectory, it's safe to assume Claxton will see closer to 25 minutes against the Bucks. While the big man has struggled to make a strong fantasy impact in his limited role, he has recorded at least one steal and one block in back-to-back games.
