MarShon Brooks has supplanted Keith Bogans in the rotation.
Brooks can do more on offense than Bogans, and that's the reason for the change. Neither player deserves to be owned in playoff fantasy formats. Apr 28 - 1:27 PM

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks is trying to earn the trust of the coaching staff.

"I don't think they [trust me] because I haven't really played against any good teams," Brooks said. When asked if he'd be in the playoff rotation, Brooks said, "I have no clue." Brooks isn't expected to play a major role in the postseason.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks did not score in four minutes of action on Sunday.

He could be the starter the rest of the way with the Nets clinching the four seed today. In his one start, Brooks scored 27 points in 39 minutes. He's on the radar in all leagues as a spot-start option.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks had 11 points, seven rebounds and a 3-pointer on 4-of-8 shooting in Tuesday's win.

With Gerald Wallace bottoming out again tonight, it's possible Brooks could find himself starting the last few games of the season. Keep a close eye on news about Wallace, and keep in mind Joe Johnson isn't a picture of health, either. Brooks is far from a must-own player at this point, but is worth keeping on your radar screen going forward.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

Starting at SG with Joe Johnson (heel) out of commission, MarShon Brooks poured in a career-high 27 points on 12-of-16 shooting with four rebounds, seven assists, one block and five turnovers in 37 minutes.

Brooks matched his previous season high after 12 minutes, when he was 8-of-8 from the field, and this stands as one of the most improbable lines all season. The Cavaliers lackadaisical defense gets an assist for MarShon's big night, and fantasy owners should view him cautiously with Johnson still considered day-to-day.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks will be in the starting lineup Wednesday night.

Brooks is starting in place of Joe Johnson, who will sit due to a lingering heel injury. We suspected C.J. Watson would start for Brooks but coach P.J. Carlesimo opted to bring Watson off the bench. Regardless, expect them to play similar minutes as the Nets try to compensate for injuries to Johnson and Gerald Wallace (foot).

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks (illness) played 29 minutes off the bench on Friday, scoring eight points on 4-of-13 shooting (no threes) with seven rebounds, five assists and a steal.

Brooks hasn't done much of anything this season and even though Joe Johnson is out there is no guarantee that he will produce for owners. Keep an eye on him, but only consider an add in much deeper leagues.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks (illness) did not go through shootaround but is probable to play on Wednesday.

Brooks is expected to be fine and missed shootaround because he wasn't feeling well. He should see extra minutes without Joe Johnson (heel) available.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

P.J. Carlesimo said that he was pleased with MarShon Brooks' defensive effort on Monday.

It's notable because it's only the second time in March that Brooks has exceeded 15 minutes of playing time. "He's doing a lot o other aspects of his game better, which is really encouraging," Carlesimo added. Keith Bogans was out on Monday, so it's not clear if Brooks will earn playing time over the veteran when both are healthy.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks shot 5-of-6 from the field for 14 points in Tuesday's 108-98 win over the Hornets in 22 minutes.

Joe Johnson didn't play and C.J. Watson only scored four points in a start. Brooks has shown some flashes, but with Johnson just day-to-day, there's no reason to pick up Brooks in most formats.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks (sprained wrist) played nine minutes in Saturday's loss to the Bulls.

He didn't attempt a field goal and he missed both of his free throws. His wrist may not cost him any games, but as long as Joe Johnson is healthy there's no reason to own Brooks. Keith Bogans (15 minutes) and Mirza Teletovic (11 minutes) each saw more action than MarShon.

MarShon Brooks (sprained right shooting wrist) played three minutes on Friday.

That's not a good sign for his overall health and we're going to keep him on the injury report until we get an explanation for his low minute total. The Nets play in Chicago on Saturday and then have three days off before a Wednesday game against the lowly Bobcats.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks (sprained wrist) is a game-time decision on Friday.

Brooks didn't practice on Thursday, but he had been seeing more minutes with Joe Johnson (heel) recently unavailable. If Brooks doesn't play, Keith Bogans will be asked to play a bigger role.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks (wrist) did not practice on Thursday.

There was no previous report of Brooks' wrist issue, so we're going to assume that it's not overly serious. He's currently listed as day-to-day. Jerry Stackhouse remains away from the team due to personal issues.

MarShon Brooks - G/F - Nets

MarShon Brooks grabbed a season-high seven rebounds in Sunday's loss, adding eight points, three assists and one block in 32 minutes.

This game stands out in a quiet season for Brooks, but seven rebounds aren't anything to write home about and his role was inflated with Joe Johnson (heel) out of commission. He's cracked 20 minutes just five times all season, which restricts his value to deep leagues.
