Nets' Noah Clowney: Flashes two-way upside in loss
Rotowire
Clowney recorded 15 points (5-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block over 43 minutes during Friday's 130-126 double-overtime loss to the Celtics.
Clowney's final line reflects a subpar shooting night, but the plays he made down the stretch were very impactful. In the final minute of overtime, Clowney recorded a block at the rim, then sank a three in transition on the ensuing play that gave Brooklyn a lead before Hugo Gonzalez's game-tying shot; the sequence flashed the two-way potential that makes him particularly intriguing from a fantasy perspective. Clowney's upped his averages across the board compared to last season and should have plenty of chances to continue proving himself going forward.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Drops 23 points in win
Rotowire
Clowney accumulated 23 points (7-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during Friday's 112-109 win over Chicago.
Clowney tallied 23 points, which is the most he has scored in his past 17 games. While it has been a successful season for Clowney, his overall fantasy appeal remains limited to just a couple of categories, those being threes and blocks. Despite what could be considered a breakout of sorts, Clowney has barely been a top-200 player thus far, averaging 13.3 points, 0.8 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes per game.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Scores efficient 22 points in win
Rotowire
Clowney provided 22 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block over 29 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 victory over the Nuggets.
Clowney submitted his first 20-point effort since the Dec. 4 loss to the Jazz. It's been a bumpy ride in 2025-26 for the 2023 first-rounder, who's hurting nine-category fantasy rosters significantly with his lack of efficiency. Clowney has averaged 12.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.9 steals in his last 11 games, but he's shooting only 35.8 percent from the field during this span.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Shooting woes continue
Rotowire
Clowney finished with eight points (2-13 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 119-99 loss to Washington.
Clowney continued to struggle from the field, failing to score more than 13 points for the fifth straight game. In six appearances over the past two weeks, he has averaged 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 2.1 combined steals and blocks, shooting a woeful 34.4 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from the line. While his shooting will almost certainly turn around at some point, his limited overall upside makes him a viable drop candidate in standard formats.

Clowney has cooled off recently, but his workloads remain sizable for the Nets. If he can find his rhythm again, he can quickly rebuild some momentum as a fantasy asset. Over his last five games, he's shooting 32.7 percent from the field with averages of 12.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Scores eight points on 13 shots
Rotowire
Clowney ended Thursday's 106-95 loss to Miami with eight points (2-13 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes.
Clowney got off to a rough start in this one, missing his first five shots. He also finished 0-for-9 from distance. Clowney banged his left knee late in the second quarter and retreated to the bench, and while he was able to play through it, it did seem to be bothering him. The good news is that Clowney will have a full two days to rest up before Brooklyn's next game versus Toronto on Sunday.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Limited impact in loss Saturday
Rotowire
Clowney chipped in six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 21 minutes during Saturday's 116-99 loss to Milwaukee.
Clowney might have logged 21 minutes throughout the game, but his impact was minimal across the board. The big man entered this game averaging 17.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in his previous eight contests, however, so there's a chance this was nothing more than a bad game for the big man.

Rotowire
Clowney racked up 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 113-105 victory over Boston.
Clowney has been in a nice groove over the past five games, churning out averages of 14.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 2.8 triples, 1.2 steals and 1.4 swats per contest. As long as you can tolerate some lackluster free-throw shooting (72 percent on 5.0 FTA), he's worth rostering in fantasy leagues.
