Porter tallied 28 points (9-17 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 113-105 loss to Dallas.
Porter looked like a completely different player after going 0-for-9 from deep in his last game Friday against the Clippers. He also made an impact on the boards, falling one rebound shy of a double-double. The one knock on Porter's performance Monday is that he turned the ball over a team-high six times, which isn't typically a problematic area for the 27-year-old.

Rotowire
Powell will start against Dallas on Monday.
The 20-year-old swingman will get the starting nod for just the second time this season due to Egor Demin (foot) being sidelined. Powell has appeared in five games (one start) so far this month, during which he has averaged 5.8 points across 19.8 minutes per contest.

Nets' Danny Wolf: Returning to bench
Rotowire
Wolf isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Wolf turned in a valiant effort Sunday in a spot start against Memphis, logging 11 points, 10 rebounds, two steals and one block in 25 minutes. He'll retreat to the bench with Michael Porter set to return from a scheduled rest day.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Shines off bench
Rotowire
Sharpe totaled eight points (4-7 FG), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 21 minutes during Sunday's 103-98 loss to the Grizzlies.
Although Nic Claxton saw more minutes, Sharpe was far more effective off the bench for Brooklyn. It's worth mentioning that Claxton has been linked to moves elsewhere ahead of the trade deadline, and Sharpe's elevated play may make a transaction more likely.

Nets' Haywood Highsmith: Remains out Monday
Rotowire
Highsmith (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Highsmith is still waiting to make his Nets debut while he continues to recover from Aug. 8 surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. At the time he suffered the injury, Highsmith was projected to require an 8-to-10-week recovery period, but he experienced renewed swelling in his knee shortly before the start of the regular season that prompted the Nets to push his timeline back further. Highsmith was scheduled to be re-evaluated in late December, but the Nets haven't provided any sort of concrete update regarding where he stands in his rehab program.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Sitting out Monday
Rotowire
Williams (illness) will not play Monday against Dallas.
Williams will miss his second game in a row Monday, but he remains day-to-day. Fortunately for Brooklyn, Michael Porter will be back in action after getting some maintenance Sunday against Memphis.

Nets' Drake Powell: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Powell (knee) will be available for Monday's game against Dallas.
Powell is back off the injury report after getting some maintenance Sunday against the Grizzlies. The rookie is averaging 16.6 minutes per contest over his last two appearances.

Nets' Egor Demin: Taking night off
Rotowire
Demin won't play Monday against Dallas due to left plantar fascia injury management.
Monday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and the rookie will get a breather while he receives maintenance for the foot injury that cost him time earlier in the campaign. During Sunday's 103-98 loss to the Grizzlies, Demin produced seven points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, one rebound and one turnover in 28 minutes. Nolan Traore and Tyrese Martin will likely operate as the Nets' primary ball handlers Monday.

Nets' Cam Thomas: Resting Monday
Rotowire
Thomas has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks due to left hamstring injury management.
Thomas will receive a maintenance day for the second leg of a back-to-back set after he recorded nine points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three assists and two rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 103-98 loss to the Grizzlies. Since returning from a 20-game absence due to a hamstring strain in late December, Thomas has appeared in seven games for the Nets but has yet to play more than 25 minutes in any of those contests.

Nets' Michael Porter: Good to go Monday
Rotowire
Porter (rest) is good to go for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Porter is set to return after getting a maintenance day Sunday against the Grizzlies for the front end of the back-to-back set. With several teams in pursuit of Porter ahead of the trade deadline, the Nets will likely handle the forward with caution.
Wolf finished with 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one block and two steals in 25 minutes during Sunday's 103-98 loss to the Grizzlies.
It was the first career double-double for the 27th overall pick in the 2025 Draft. Wolf was making his third start in the last six games as Michael Porter (knee/rest) has spotted in and out of the lineup, and during those three starts the rookie forward has averaged 10.3 points, 6.7 boards, 2.7 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 threes in 29.7 minutes.

Nets' Tyrese Martin: Pops for 17 off bench
Rotowire
Martin posted 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals in 21 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 103-98 loss to Memphis.
The 17 points tied Noah Clowney for the Nets' scoring lead on the afternoon. It was Martin's first game action since Jan. 2, after he fell out of the rotation the prior three contests, and his first contest with 20-plus minutes since Dec. 4. The third-year guard's return to the lineup came with Ziaire Williams (illness) and Drake Powell (knee) both sidelined, and Martin will be tough to rely on as a fantasy asset until he shows he's got a spot in the backcourt when the roster is closer to full strength.

Nets' Noah Clowney: Ties for team scoring lead
Rotowire
Clowney accumulated 17 points (4-17 FG, 4-15 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 103-98 loss to Memphis.
The 17 points tied Tyrese Martin to lead the Nets in scoring on the afternoon. Clowney hasn't scored 20-plus points in over a month, but he's been a steady contributor of late, scoring in double digits in nine of the last 10 games and averaging 13.4 points, 4.1 boards, 2.0 threes, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 blocks over that stretch.
Wolf will start against the Grizzlies on Sunday, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
The rookie first-rounder will get the starting nod for the third time this season due to Michael Porter (rest) being sidelined. Wolf has started two of his five appearances so far this month, averaging 7.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals over 23.4 minutes per contest in January.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Sent to G League
Rotowire
The Nets assigned Saraf (knee) to the G League's Long Island Nets on Saturday.
Saraf missed Brooklyn's past two games due to a sore left knee, but his assignment to the G League could indicate that he's on track to play for Long Island in Monday's game against the Stockton Kings. The rookie first-round pick has been limited to 12 appearances (five starts) at the NBA level this season, averaging 5.4 points, 2.8 assists, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 three-pointers and 0.7 steals in 16.9 minutes per contest while shooting 35.5 percent from the floor.

Nets' Drake Powell: Won't go Sunday
Rotowire
Powell has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to left knee injury management.
Powell will miss the front end of a back-to-back set, but he could be back in action Monday against Dallas. With the rookie first-round pick being joined on the sideline by Michael Porter (rest) and Ziaire Williams (illness), the Nets could open up room in the rotation for Jalen Wilson and Tyrese Martin.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Out with illness
Rotowire
Williams has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Grizzlies due to an illness.
After playing 27 minutes in a starting role in Wednesday's 104-103 loss to the Magic, Williams dropped out of the rotation entirely in a coach's decision in Friday's 121-105 loss to the Clippers. With that in mind, Williams' absence Sunday due to an illness won't open up any extra minutes for other players.
