Nic Claxton collects six rebounds in loss to the Bulls

Fantasy Impact:

Claxton collected six rebounds in the Nets' loss to the Bulls, putting together another on-par performance that helped them lose their sixth game out of the previous eight. He has become a core piece of this team's identity during the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving era; however, he has seen his production taper off with the new look Nets. His lack of production could be due to the addition of teammates Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson. It will be interesting to see how the team will put the pieces of the puzzle together, but the process could come at the expense of Claxton. His talent as an asset seems to be momentum driven, like an asset compounding interest as the team continues to invest in his talent and role. His price is falling, which could be a perfect time to buy; however, that could depend heavily on if and how the team leverages Claxton as a critical piece in the rotation. Claxton’s respectable floor and promising ceiling could make him a viable option as a last-piece play for your roster; however, the team's movement and direction could decide the level of his success or lack thereof.
