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.

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 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 wasn't as efficient as he's been in other preseason contests, but nonetheless, he continues to show he's ready for the start of the regular season.

Thomas leading the team in scoring despite a 21-point defeat is emblematic of Brooklyn's 2023-24 campaign. While Thomas' 55.4 true-shooting percentage isn't exactly worthy of being an offensive engine, his tough-shot making and ability to get buckets versus all types of defenders has solidified him as a top isolation scorer of the next generation. Thomas ascended to career-high marks of 5.0 free-throw attempts and 6.0 three-point attempts per game this season, creating true multi-level productivity to help balance his scoring diet.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Late scratch Monday
Rotowire
Thomas has been ruled out for Monday's game against Toronto due to lower-back stiffness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Thomas hadn't been included on the Nets' injury report, so it came as a surprise when he was ruled out less than an hour before the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. He'll be sidelined Monday along with Cameron Johnson (toe), Dennis Smith (hip), Keita Bates-Diop (shin) and Ben Simmons (back), leaving plenty of minutes up for grabs in the backcourt and on the wing.

Rotowire
Thomas totaled 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 loss to the Pacers.
Thomas carried the Nets in scoring and finished just two rebounds shy of a double-double, but he couldn't do everything on his own, and the Nets lost by a sizable 21-point margin. However, the team's overall struggles shouldn't impact Thomas' fantasy upside, as he has scored at least 20 points in each of his last four appearances since returning from a six-game absence March 9. Thomas has averaged 22.8 points per game since moving to a permanent starting role Jan. 27.

Thomas (ankle/foot) finished Saturday's 110-99 loss to the Hornets with 31 points (12-24 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two assists and one rebound across 30 minutes.
Thomas hit the ground running in his return from a six-game absence, taking on a team-high 37.9 percent usage rate while leading all scorers on either side. As per usual, Thomas offered little production beyond the scoring column, but he should remain a three-category asset (points, three-pointers and free-throw percentage) while the Nets are lacking in viable offensive playmakers.
