Outlook Nolan Traore
Nolan Traore at Pacers - Slated to Start with Demin Sidelined
With starting point guard Egor Demin sidelined by a leg injury alongside Mikel Brown Jr., Nolan Traore enters Brooklyn's starting lineup tonight against Indiana. The young guard is healthy and primed for elevated ball-handling duties after averaging 9.4 points across 18.4 minutes through his first five contests. Fantasy managers have taken note of the opportunity, driving his rostered rate up to 11%.
Our projection models anticipate a solid showing, expecting 20 fantasy points, 11 points, and four assists over 23 minutes.

Outlook Moritz Wagner
Moritz Wagner at Pacers — Frontcourt Bench Role in High Total Matchup
Healthy and operating as Brooklyn's primary backup center behind Day'Ron Sharpe, Wagner has carved out steady second-unit minutes. Over his last five games with the Nets, he has provided solid offensive punch, averaging 11.4 points and 3.8 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game. That efficient scoring surge has fueled a notable spike in fantasy sentiment, with his roster rate climbing to 19%.
For tonight's matchup against Indiana, our models project Wagner for 12 fantasy points, 7 points, and 3 rebounds across 12 minutes. The contest carries an elevated 230.5-point total, though his upside is constrained in a backup capacity. Looking ahead to next week's volume, Brooklyn faces a four-game schedule, making Wagner a low-end streaming option if his frontcourt usage holds.
