Cam Thomas

Cam Thomas provided instant offense in Thursday’s loss to the Rockets, leading the Nets with 21 points on efficient 8-of-13 shooting (2-of-4 FTs) despite coming off the bench. He connected on three triples but offered little else in the box score, tallying just one rebound and one assist.

Continuing his ramp-up from a hamstring injury, Thomas showed no hesitation letting it fly, pacing the team in both scoring and field goal attempts even in a reserve role. With Michael Porter Jr. unavailable, Thomas should continue to see high usage whenever he is on the floor, making him a potent scoring specialist for fantasy managers as he works his way back to full strength.

Cam Thomas led the Nets with 21 points off the bench in Thursday's 120-96 loss to the Rockets. He was 8-of-13 from the field, 3-of-7 from beyond the arc, and 2-of-4 from the foul line.

Fantasy Impact

Thomas, playing in just his third game after missing nearly two months with an injury, scored his 21 points in nearly 23 minutes off the bench. He has been limited to 11 games this season and has reached double figures in nine of them. Thomas averages 21.4 points and just over two triples per game, but doesn't offer much else as he chips in only 1.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per contest.

Cam Thomas didn't miss a beat in his return to action on Saturday, piling up 30 points (9-of-15 FGs, 9-of-9 FTs), three rebounds, and four assists to lead the Nets to a victory over Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact

This was Thomas's first appearance in nearly two months due to a left hamstring strain, and while the Nets kept him on a tight 19-minute leash, he was ultra-aggressive. He managed to hoist 15 shots and get to the line nine times despite the restriction, proving his scoring touch is intact. Managers should expect the minutes limit to persist for the short term, but his instant production is a great sign heading into a four-game week that begins Monday against the Warriors.

Cam Thomas will make his return on Saturday against the Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Thomas was able to log a full practice on Friday. After a two-month absence, he will likely be eased back.

Cam Thomas (hamstring) returned to full practice for the Nets ahead of Saturday's game at Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact

Thomas was cleared for contact this week and had no limitations at practice on Friday. The 24-year-old guard has been out of action since the Nets' eighth game of the season back on November 5, but over the first seven games of the campaign, Thomas averaged 24.4 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.3 treys per contest. His status for Saturday's game should be made clearer well before tipoff.
