Jalen Wilson - Sees 23 minutes in loss Wilson totaled eight points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and three rebounds over 23 minutes during Thursday's 120-96 loss to Houston. Impact With Michael Porter (illness) and Terance Mann (hip) both sidelined, Wilson was able to see extended run Thursday. Wilson has been used sparingly this season, appearing in 22 games for an average of 13.8 minutes per contest. 56 MINS AGO • ROTOWIRE Nolan Traore - Quiet in 26 minutes Traore supplied three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Thursday's 120-96 loss to Houston. Impact Traore saw a solid workload Thursday, but he wasn't able to find his rhythm. With Michael Porter (illness) and Terance Mann (hip) both day-to-day, Traore could potentially get another big chance Friday against Washington. 59 MINS AGO • ROTOWIRE Friday Jan 2nd NBA Picks: Three Bets to Play Tonight | Deadspin.com Free NBA picks for Friday, January 2, featuring Nets vs. Wizards, Magic vs. Bulls, and Hornets vs. Bucks with odds courtesy of DraftKings. 1 HOUR AGO • DEADSPIN.COM Cam Thomas' most recent dispute with Brooklyn ignites trade rumors | Sporting News Are the Nets trying to persuade Thomas into waiving his no-trade clause? 3 HOURS AGO • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Impact With Michael Porter (illness), Terance Mann (hip) and Egor Demin (back) all sidelined in the front end of Brooklyn's back-to-back set, Williams got the starting nod for just the third time this season. The 24-year-old swingman made the most of the opportunity, leading the first unit in points and scoring in double figures for just the second time over his last seven appearances. He also chipped in a game- and career-high five steals, and he has logged multiple steals in six of his 26 regular-season appearances thus far. 12 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE Day'Ron Sharpe - Logs career high in loss Sharpe closed Thursday's 120-96 loss to the Rockets with eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 19 minutes. Impact After shooting 1-for-3 from the field across 12 minutes in Monday's loss to Golden State, Sharpe bounced back and provided a solid all-around effort Thursday. The big man recorded a team- and career-high seven assists, dishing out at least five dimes for the third time this season. Sharpe continues to see relatively consistent playing time off the bench behind Nic Claxton, and the former has averaged 7.6 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 17.8 minutes per game over his last five outings. 12 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE Kevin Durant predicts a bright future for former teammate Cam Thomas | Sporting News The Brooklyn Nets have a superb player in Cam Thomas, and he is getting a big co-sign from Kevin Durant. 12 HOURS AGO • SPORTINGNEWS.COM Cam Thomas - Paces Brooklyn in loss Thomas totaled 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound and one assist in 23 minutes during Thursday's 120-96 loss to the Rockets. Impact Thomas turned in an efficient performance and led the Nets in scoring from the bench, albeit in a losing effort. The 24-year-old guard is still seemingly on a minutes restriction following a 20-game absence due to a hamstring strain, though he saw a slight bump in playing time compared to his first two outings after the extended absence. Over his last three appearances, Thomas has averaged 21.3 points, 2.3 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 20.7 minutes per game. 12 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE ROCKETS at NETS | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | January 1, 2026 14 HOURS AGO • YOUTUBE Three Takeaways From the Nets' Blowout Loss to the Rockets The Brooklyn Nets (10-21) returned to the court for a big test against a Western Conference power, the Houston Rockets (21-10), on Thursday... 14 HOURS AGO • SI.COM Three Takeaways as Rockets Torch Nets for First Win of 2026 The Houston Rockets welcomed the brand-new year with a bang, demolishing the Brooklyn Nets with a 120-96 victory on Thursday evening.

Durant and Thompson lead the Rockets past the Nets 120-96 for their 4th straight victory

Kevin Durant had 22 points and a season-high 11 assists, Amen Thompson scored 23 points and the Houston Rockets beat the Brooklyn Nets 120-96 for their fourth straight victory 15 HOURS AGO • Associated Press Ziaire Williams - Starting Thursday Williams will start against the Rockets on Thursday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports. Impact With three of Brooklyn's regular starters sidelined, Williams will enter the first unit after not seeing the floor in either of the Nets' past two games. In two starts so far this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 10.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 24.5 minutes per contest. 17 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE Danny Wolf - Joining starting lineup Wolf is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports. Impact With the Nets missing some key players, Thursday will be the first career start for the rookie first-rounder. Wolf averaged 8.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 21.7 minutes per contest over 11 games last month, though a jump in playing time should be expected against Houston. 17 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE Drake Powell - Making first NBA start Thursday Powell is in the Nets' starting lineup against the Rockets on Thursday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports. Impact The rookie first-rounder will make his first NBA start Thursday due to the absences of Egor Demin (back), Michael Porter (illness) and Terance Mann (hip). Powell is averaging 5.9 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.7 steals over 17.7 minutes per game this season. 17 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE Michael Porter Jr. - Won't play against Houston Porter won't play in Thursday's game against the Rockets due to an illness, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports. Impact Porter faces a short turnaround if he wants to suit up for Friday's tilt against the Wizards. His absence should entrench Cam Thomas as the top scoring option Thursday. The likes of Danny Wolf, Drake Powell and Tyrese Martin also have an opportunity to step into the starting lineup for the Nets. 20 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE Three Things to Watch for as Rockets Take on Nets Tonight, the Houston Rockets take on the Brooklyn Nets, hoping to grab a fourth-straight win.
