Availability
Nolan Traore recorded his first career double-double in Monday's 123-115 win against the Chicago Bulls, finishing with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal.
Fantasy Impact
Traore dished out a career-high 13 assists in Monday’s game and has now scored in double figures in three straight contests. Over that span, he’s averaging 16.3 points, three rebounds, and eight assists in 31 minutes. He should continue to see ample opportunity down the stretch, as the Brooklyn Nets own the third-worst record in the Eastern Conference and are likely to keep giving their young players extended run.
Traoré finished with 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line in Thursday's loss to the Magic. He added three rebounds, eight assists and three three-pointers but committed four turnovers against Orlando's defense featuring Jalen Suggs and Anthony Black.
Fantasy Impact
The 21-point performance marked the second time this season Traoré has reached that scoring threshold. The eight assists showcased his playmaking ability, though the four turnovers offset some of the distributing value. His production spanned multiple categories despite the turnover struggles.
Nolan Traore made his first career NBA start on Thursday night, scoring nine points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3PT, 1-2 FT) and handing out four assists in 30 minutes during Brooklyn's 107-103 loss to Denver.
Fantasy Impact
Traore has played himself into heavy rotation for the Nets in January and earned his first career start on Thursday night. After appearing in just eight games over the first three months, Traore has played 14 games in January and is averaging 7.9 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in nearly 24 minutes per game. While there shouldn't be a mad dash to the waiver wire, he could be a name to watch as the Nets are well out of playoff contention.
Nolan Traore is listed as probable for Tuesday’s game against the Suns.
Fantasy Impact
Traore remains off the fantasy radar when he is healthy.
Nolan Traore scored 16 points (4-8 FG, 4-5 3P, 4-6 FT) with a rebound and two assists in the Nets’ 124-102 loss to the Bulls on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Traore’s 16 points led the Nets, but that’s about all he had going for him. He had a healthy allotment of minutes in this game, but his lack of contributions elsewhere in the offense when his scoring is not there makes him a risky add, even in deeper leagues. He’s best left on waivers.
