Nets' Nic Claxton: Gets little help in loss
Claxton recorded 22 points (10-14 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 116-86 loss to the Raptors.
The 25-year-old center led the Nets in scoring and rebounding, but no other Brooklyn player managed more than 13 points or six boards. Claxton's 22 points were a season high, while his five rejections represented his best defensive showing since March 1. On the month, he's averaging 10.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 blocks in 13 appearances while shooting 58.9 percent from the floor.

Claxton racked up 19 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 27 minutes during Monday's 120-101 loss to the Mavericks.
Claxton was one of the few standout performers for the Nets in this 19-point defeat, although he hasn't been playing at a very high level of late, particularly on the offensive end of the court. This was just the third time he scored in double digits since the beginning of March, putting up a line of 9.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 blocks per game across his 12 outings this month.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Resting Saturday vs. Boston
Claxton (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Celtics, Lucas Kaplan of NetsDaily.com reports.
Claxton will sit for the first leg of the Nets' back-to-back set Saturday, but he should be available for Sunday's game against the Hawks. Day'Ron Sharpe will likely serve as Brooklyn's starting center against Boston and should see plenty of minutes due to the absences of Claxton, Trendon Watford (hamstring) and Noah Clowney (ankle).

The 25-year-old center has never recorded a triple-double in his career, but Claxton came within a bucket and a board of doing just that Thursday while setting a new personal best in assists.

Friday did mark Claxton's first game without a block since the Jan. 22 loss to the Suns, ending a 12-game streak with at least one swat. The 25-year-old big man wrapped up a strong month of February, having averaged 12.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, 2.3 assists and 0.9 steals in 28.6 minutes while shooting 55.9 percent from the floor over 10 outings.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Suspended for one game
Claxton will serve a one-game suspension in Wednesday's game against the Thunder, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
After picking up his sixth flagrant foul point of the season in Monday's loss to Washington, Claxton will need to sit out Wednesday in the aftermath. The star big man should be good to go Friday against Portland. Day'Ron Sharpe is the next man up on the depth chart in the middle for the Nets, although Trendon Watford should also see more playing time in small-ball lineups at center.

The 25-year-old big man is trending up over his last nine outings, posting averages of 12.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.3 blocks, 2.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 28.9 minutes while shooting 56.0 percent from the field.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Cleared to play Wednesday
Claxton (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
Claxton was iffy to suit up Wednesday, but he'll play through an ankle sprain in the Nets' final outing prior to the All-Star break. The 25-year-old's matchup outlook is brightened by the absence of Joel Embiid (knee). Over his last six games, Claxton has averaged 12.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 27.2 minutes.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Questionable for Wednesday
Claxton is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers with a right ankle sprain, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
This appears to be a new injury for Claxton, and the Nets could exercise caution with this being the last game prior to the All-Star Break. If Claxton is held out Wednesday, guys like Trendon Watford and Jalen Wilson could step into larger roles for the Nets.

Claxton posted 12 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, six blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 104-83 win over the Hornets.
Claxton recorded a season-high six blocked shots, helping the Nets to a rare victory. It's been a disappointing season for Claxton, averaging 9.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 combined steals and blocks. However, with both Noah Clowney (ankle) and Day'Ron Sharpe (hamstring) now sidelined, he could be forced into more minutes, at least for the short-term.

Nets' Nic Claxton: Pulls down 12 rebounds
Claxton had eight points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 99-95 loss to the Knicks.
This was Claxton's 11th game of the campaign with double-digit boards. His production has been pretty sporadic for most of the season, and he's currently on pace to finish outside the top-150 in nine-category formats. If you take free throws out of the equation, however, he's been a ninth-round value.
