Nic Claxton totaled nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three blocks, and three steals in the Nets’ 118-104 loss to the Bucks on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact:
Claxton stuffed the stat-sheet in the Nets' loss to the Bucks, making it his third consecutive game achieving this feat. Although he didn’t contribute too much in the scoring column, his three blocks, three steals, and seven boards certainly gave relief to fantasy investors. Claxton has made substantial strides in his development, setting career-highs in every performance category except for three-pointers. He has a great opportunity to build on this momentum; however, it does seem as though he will need a little more time to get back to the level of play experienced back in late December through January. But hope is still there that he might get there soon. His last two games, including this one against the Bucks, could be promising indicators that he is beginning to get stabilized in the system. If he can get his offensive game going and consistently make plays on both sides of the ball, Claxton could be an excellent asset to invest in, in all formats, at least until his price gets inflated. His price point right now isn’t indicative of his potential just yet, so now may be a great time to invest. However, he still carries some risk given the impact of the team’s transition and new high-volume players.
