Nets' Cam Thomas: Makes early exit Monday
Rotowire
Thomas didn't return to Monday's 128-120 win over the Warriors after exiting with 6:43 remaining in the third quarter, Brian Lewis of The New York Post reports. "I ended up taking him out because he took a foul, he was tired," head coach Jordi Fernandez said, when asked about Thomas' early exit. "I didn't feel it was right. And I just wanted to protect him from himself."
Thomas scored 23 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT) and added three rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes before checking out midway through the third quarter. Based on Fernandez's comments, Thomas appears to have been dealing with general fatigue more so than a legitimate injury, so the expectation is that the 23-year-old guard will be ready to go for the Nets' next game Wednesday in Phoenix. Thomas missed a game last week with a sore back and had also battled an illness prior to last Friday's game in Philadelphia.

Rotowire
Thomas ended with 34 points (11-22 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 8-11 FT), two rebounds and six assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 108-103 victory over the Kings.
Thomas delivered one of his best scoring performances of the season Sunday, carrying the Nets to a huge road win over the Kings. It's not odd to see Thomas taking over games for Brooklyn, however, and he has the absolute green light to fire from any point of the field at any given moment, especially when the Nets are shorthanded like they were Sunday. Thomas has backed up that offensive freedom with excellent numbers. He's averaging 23.6 points, 3.9 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.5 steals per game since the beginning of November.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Scores 16 points Sunday
Rotowire
Thomas closed Sunday's 114-104 loss to New York with 16 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes.
Thomas was unable to build off the 43-point effort he delivered in the 124-122 loss to the Knicks on Friday, and he's now failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last four appearances. Even if Thomas' numbers might be trending in the wrong direction, he's still averaging a robust 24.6 points per game this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about his recent struggles, as Thomas should continue to have the green light to carry Brooklyn's offense for the foreseeable future.

Thomas engaged in a back-and-forth battle with Jalen Brunson, who posted 37 points and seven assists, but his explosive scoring performance wasn't enough to lift Brooklyn to victory in this matchup. Despite the Nets' record, Thomas has been one of the best guards in fantasy across all formats.

Rotowire
Thomas chipped in 22 points (6-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), two rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 105-100 loss to the Cavaliers.
Widely heralded as one of the best pure scorers in the NBA, Thomas is backing up that assessment with strong display after strong display. The efficiency is not always there, as evidenced Saturday, but he handles a big enough volume on offense to remain relevant as a scorer even in games during which he isn't particularly efficient. Thomas has scored at least 22 points in seven of his 10 outings this season, including four contests in which he surpassed the 30-point mark.

Rotowire
Thomas logged 19 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 10-11 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 119-106 win over Memphis.
Thomas had a rough showing in this win, but fortunately for him, the likes of Dennis Schroeder and Ziaire Williams stepped up to carry the Nets to their second win in their last three games. Thomas is bound to have a few down performances here and there, but he remains the most reliable offensive weapon the Nets have from a scoring perspective -- even when factoring in Schroder's impressive start to the campaign.

The fourth-year guard continues to fill up the bucket. Thomas has scored at least 24 points in four straight games to begin the season, and he's seeing incredible shot volume so far -- he's averaging 21.8 field-goal attempts per game, tied for sixth in the NBA with Cade Cunningham, and Thomas' 7.3 FT attempts a contest also puts him in the top 20 in the league. As long as Thomas is seeing elite usage, a career-best campaign should follow.
