Fails to score in loss
Wilson closed Tuesday's 113-99 loss to Boston with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and one rebound over 12 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Wilson didn't bother the scorers, continuing what has been a rough season to this point. Brooklyn has no shortage of options when it comes to youth, resulting in unpredictable playing time for someone like Wilson. He should be viewed as nothing more than a potential streaming candidate, in the hope that you catch him on a good night.

Wilson is averaging 6.8 points, 1.0 assists and 0.8 rebounds over 17.3 minutes to begin his 2025-26 season. With Ziaire Williams back in the lineup and Porter potentially returning soon, Wilson's role could shrink.

His three-point shooting was a promising development this season, as he increased his volume from 1.7 attempts per game in his rookie year to 4.5 attempts per game this season while also increasing his accuracy from 32.4 percent to 33.1 percent.

ANALYSIS
Despite moving to the bench, Wilson had himself a productive outing, connecting on a career-high six triples.

Wilson is questionable for Thursday's game versus Minnesota with right ankle soreness, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a new issue for Wilson, but it sounds as though he's day-to-day. If he's unable to give it a go, players such as Tyrese Martin, Maxwell Lewis and Trendon Watford could see increased run.
Apr 1, 2025
Fares well as starter

Mar 19, 2025
Fails to score in loss
Wilson accumulated zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt) in seven minutes during Tuesday's 104-96 loss to the Celtics.
ANALYSIS
Wilson went scoreless for just the third time this season, playing a season-low seven minutes. The Nets have no rhyme or reason when it comes to their current rotation, making it hard to know who is going to produce from one night to the next. Wilson saw 30 minutes in the previous game and based on what we have seen in 15 games over the past month during which he has averaged 20.0 minutes per contest, he should see an uptick in playing time moving forward.
Mar 18, 2025
Returning to bench
Wilson isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Celtics, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ziaire Williams will reclaim his starting spot from Wilson on Tuesday after missing Brooklyn's previous contest due to an Achilles injury. Wilson is averaging 8.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 19.2 minutes across his previous 10 appearances coming off the bench.

ANALYSIS
Wilson mde his first start since Feb. 4 due to the absence of Ziaire Williams (Achilles), and he responded by scoring in double digits for the second game in a row, as he posted 15 points against Boston on Saturday. D'Angelo Russell (ankle) and Noah Clowney (ankle) also missed Sunday's game, and if that's the case Tuesday at Boston, then Wilson could be remain in a starting role.
Mar 16, 2025
Starting Sunday
Wilson is in the Nets' starting lineup against the Hawks on Monday, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Jalen Wilson will make his first start since Feb. 4 due to the absence of Ziaire Williams (Achilles). Wilson is coming off a 15-point performance against the Celtics on Saturday and should see a bump in playing time due to the absences of Williams, D'Angelo Russell (ankle) and Noah Clowney (ankle).
Mar 10, 2025
Struggles continue Monday
Wilson closed Monday's 111-108 victory over the Lakers with four points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds in 15 minutes.
ANALYSIS
Wilson scored single digits for the seventh time in the past nine games, continuing his recent form slump. Despite playing a relatively consistent role, it's been rough sledding for Wilson who is now averaging 9.2 points and 1.4 three-pointers in 26.3 minutes per game thus far this season.
Mar 1, 2025
Pedestrian effort off bench in loss
Wilson accumulated nine points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 121-102 loss to the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
It was pedestrian effort by Wilson, who has reached double figures in scoring just once in his last 10 games. He hasn't made a start since the Feb .4 win over Houston, and Wilson's fantasy value is likely to remain minimal unless he works his way back into Brooklyn's first unit. Across 11 contests in February, the 2023 second-rounder averaged 7.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 23.4 minutes.
Feb 21, 2025

Feb 5, 2025
Coming off bench
Wilson won't start Wednesday against the Wizards, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Cameron Johnson (ankle) is back for the Nets on Wednesday, sending Wilson back to the bench. Over 34 games with the Brooklyn reserves, Wilson has averaged 8.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 25.1 minutes, so he's still likely to play meaningful minutes against Washington.
Jan 25, 2025
Fills up box score Saturday
Wilson posted 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 106-97 loss to the Heat.
ANALYSIS
Wilson did a little bit of everything Saturday and was close to registering the first triple-double of his career. It was Wilson's second straight game in the Nets' starting lineup, and he should remain in the starting five for as long as Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Cameron Johnson (ankle) are sidelined. Over his last seven outings, Wilson has averaged 11.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists over 29.2 minutes per game.
Jan 23, 2025
Serviceable in start Wednesday
Wilson registered 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 108-84 loss to the Suns.
ANALYSIS
Despite struggling from downtown, Wilson was serviceable during his 10th start of the season for the rebuilding Nets. Wednesday marked his eighth time in those 10 appearances where he reached double-digit scoring figures, and the 24-year-old has averaged 11.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.1 three-pointers in 33.5 minutes with Brooklyn's first unit this year. Although Wilson is worth streaming in deep fantasy leagues when the team is missing several key players, his value is more or less limited to three-point shooting.
Jan 22, 2025
Starting vs. Suns
Wilson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Suns, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson will start for the first time since Jan. 4 and will do due to the absence of Cameron Johnson (ankle). Wilson is averaging 11.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game when playing in a starting role this season (nine contests).
Jan 16, 2025
Scores 16 points in blowout loss
Wilson contributed 16 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 126-67 loss to the Clippers.
ANALYSIS
The Nets looked brutally overmatched and lost by a whopping 59 points, but Wilson was one of the few Brooklyn players who ended with a relatively decent stat line. That said, he tends to play off bench on a regular basis, meaning his fantasy upside will remain relatively low in most formats outside of the very deep ones.
Jan 15, 2025
Notches 14 points
Wilson closed with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 132-114 win over the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
For the first time since Jan. 4, Wilson reached double figures in the scoring column. Despite a lot of injuries in Brooklyn, Wilson hasn't been able to take advantage from a fantasy perspective. Through eight January appearances, he's averaging 8.8 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 three-pointers on 37.0 percent shooting from the field.
Jan 6, 2025
Coming off bench Monday
Wilson is not in the Nets' starting lineup against the Pacers on Monday, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Noah Clowney will enter the Nets' starting lineup Monday, which will push Wilson to the bench after the former started in Brooklyn's last two games. Wilson has averaged 9.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 30.2 minutes per game since and including Dec. 1.
Jan 3, 2025
Solid outing in start
Wilson finished with 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 win over the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Wilson made his eighth start of the season Friday with Noah Clowney (hip) out. Across those eight starts, Wilson is averaging 11.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists. Over that span, the 24-year-old forward is also shooting 43.6 percent on 4.9 three-point attempts per contest.
Dec 29, 2024
Slides back to bench Sunday
Wilson will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
With Cameron Johnson (hip) returning from a one-game absence, Wilson will retreat to the bench. The 24-year-old has averaged 7.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists across 30.2 minutes per contest in his last five outings (one start).
Dec 17, 2024
Sinks four triples in loss
Wilson totaled 13 points (4-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 130-101 loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Over the last two games, Wilson has totaled 28 points, six assists, three rebounds, four steals and seven made three-pointers. With Dennis Schroder in Golden State and Cam Thomas (hamstring), Ziaire Williams (knee) and Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) all out, Wilson has a clear path to heavy minutes, even if he continues to operate off the bench.
Dec 8, 2024
Out of starting five Sunday
Wilson will come off the bench in Sunday's game against the Bucks, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old has received an increased role throughout the season due to numerous injuries, though he will slide to the bench with Dorian Finney-Smith returning from a four-game absence. Wilson has started in each of his last five appearances, during which he averaged 9.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting 42.9 percent from the field across 31.6 minutes per contest.
Nov 30, 2024
Quiet in return
Wilson closed with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 31 minutes during Friday's 123-100 loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Wilson returned to the lineup after missing the previous game due to a mild calf issue. He remained in the starting lineup but was unable to repeat his heroics from earlier in the week. With that said, he has scored double-digits in four of the past six games, flashing some nice offensive upside. Until the Nets are back to full health, he should continue to play a significant role moving forward.
Nov 29, 2024
Starting vs. Orlando
Wilson is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Magic, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson is back after a one-game absence due to right calf tightness, and the second-year forward will move straight into the lineup since Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is out. Wilson has made two starts this season, playing 34 and 41 minutes in wins over the Hornets and Warriors, respectively.
Nov 29, 2024
Returning to action Friday
Wilson (calf) is available for Friday's game versus the Magic, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing Brooklyn's previous outing due to right calf tightness. With Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Cameron Johnson (ankle) deemed questionable, Wilson could be in store for increased playing time.
Nov 28, 2024
Remains questionable
Wilson (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Wilson missed the win over the Suns on Wednesday due to right calf tightness, and a decision on his status will be made closer to Friday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. That said, his availability status shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions, as Wilson isn't a player worth targeting outside of the very deep formats.
Nov 27, 2024
Ruled out for Wednesday
Wilson (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was a late addition to the injury report Wednesday, and the second-year forward will end up being ruled out. His next chance to play will come against the Magic on Friday.
Nov 27, 2024
Questionable to play Wednesday
Wilson is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Suns due to calf tightness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson is a late addition to the injury report, and it seems he'll be a game-time decision for this contest. The second-year forward started in Monday's win over the Warriors and finished with 18 points, seven rebounds and two assists across 41 minutes.
Nov 26, 2024
Fills in with 18 points
Wilson finished with 18 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block over 41 minutes during Monday's 128-120 win over the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
Wilson logged his second start of the season and turned in a season-high 18 points in the win. In addition to Brooklyn's lenghty injury report, Ben Simmons will sit one end of a back-to-back for the foreseeable future. This scenario should provide Wilson with more opportunities to make an impact during his sophomore season.
Nov 25, 2024
Starting Monday
Wilson will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Warriors.
ANALYSIS
The second-year forward will get his second start in the Nets' last four games with Nic Claxton (back), Ben Simmons (rest), Noah Clowney (ankle) and Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) all sidelined.

Slides back to bench Friday
Wilson will come off the bench in Friday's game against the 76ers, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS

Nov 20, 2024
Hits for season-high 17 on Tuesday
Wilson ended with 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt), one rebound and one steal in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-115 victory over Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
With Cam Thomas (back) sidelined, Wilson made his first start of the season and set new season highs in points and made three-pointers. The second-year wing has handled a bigger role than he did as a rookie, and his production has nudged up as well. Through 15 appearances, Wilson is averaging 9.2 points, 3.3 boards, 1.8 assists and 1.3 threes in 22.5 minutes a contest.
Nov 19, 2024
Starting sans Thomas

Nov 5, 2024
Scores 13 off bench

ANALYSIS
This was Wilson's fourth game of the campaign scoring in double figures through eight appearances. His production has been sporadic, but he's certainly intriguing in deeper fantasy formats with 8.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 three-pointers in 22.8 minutes per contest.
Oct 30, 2024
Productive off bench
Wilson produced 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
After scoring a combined two points in his previous two outings, Wilson got back on track Tuesday night. His strong performance on Opening Night turned some heads, and he again showed fantasy managers why he's so intriguing with a double-digit effort against Denver in the overtime loss. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on him going forward, especially when the Nets are shorthanded.
Oct 24, 2024
Perfect from charity stripe
Wilson ended with 16 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 120-116 loss to the Hawks.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was Brooklyn's second-leading scorer Wednesday despite coming off the bench. Without many go-to scorers outside of Cam Thomas, Wilson could be in store for a significant role as a sparkplug in the team's second unit. If the 24-year-old forward continues to play upwards of 30 minutes, he will garner serious fantasy attention.
Oct 23, 2024
Not starting in opener
Wilson won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Hawks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson started in Brooklyn's preseason finale but will return to the bench for the start of the regular season. Still, he's slated to play a significant role with the reserves after appearing in 43 games as a rookie in 2023-24.
Oct 18, 2024
Gets starting nod
Wilson is in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game versus the Raptors, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson will replace Dorian Finney-Smith (undisclosed) in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason finale. After averaging 15.5 minutes across 43 regular-season appearances last season, Wilson is expected to be one of Brooklyn's primary backup forwards in 2024-25.
Apr 14, 2024
Struggles with shot
Wilson totaled nine points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 107-86 loss to the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
Wilson ends his rookie campaign in a 2-for-10 slump from beyond the arc, but his 35.6 percent clip on 1.6 threes per game through his first 38 appearances is a decent foundation. Wilson's strength is his top trait, however, with upside to carve out a defensively-oriented role with rebounding juice in the future. The 23-year-old logged a limited sample of under 600 minutes this season, but he ranked in the 88th percentile for defensive rebounding and 97th percentile for offensive rebounding among all wings.
Apr 10, 2024
Slides back to bench
Wilson will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS

Headed to bench Wednesday
Wilson will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson received a spot-start Monday with Cam Thomas (back) hitting the sidelines, but Thomas is back for Wednesday's game, so Wilson's minutes will likely be reduced to the teens. He's a risky target in the reserve role.
Mar 25, 2024
Gets chance with first unit
Wilson is starting Monday's game against the Raptors, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson is set to make just his second start of the season after Cam Thomas (back) was a late scratch. Wilson is averaging 9.4 minutes over his last five appearances but should be in line for a much larger workload Monday evening.
Mar 9, 2024
Fails to score in 20 minutes
Wilson contributed zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 20 minutes during Saturday's 110-99 loss to the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Wilson cracked 20 minutes for the second time in the past three games, continuing to carve out a somewhat consistent role for himself. However, despite the uptick in playing time, he has not been able to convert the minutes into production. He has been well outside the top 300 over the past month, averaging just 4.2 points per game to go with 3.0 rebounds and a whole lot of nothing.

Getting standard NBA contract
The Nets are converting Wilson's two-way contract into a standard NBA contract Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 second-round pick has carved out more playing with the NBA squad of late, averaging 6.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 21.0 minutes per game over his last nine appearances (one start). For now, the rookie doesn't need to be on most fantasy radars, but Wilson is a guy to keep an eye on in deeper leagues, especially if the Nets opt to shut down some of their top producers toward the end of the regular season.

Back to bench
Wilson will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
This will be the 12th different lineup of the season for Brooklyn, as Dorian Finney-Smith will slot in as the power forward. Wilson made his first start of the season on Thursday versus Cleveland, finishing with eight points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers across 40 minutes.
Feb 8, 2024
Starting Thursday
Wilson will start Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
This will be the first career start for the rookie. The Nets are without Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Cam Johnson (adductor), but Wilson is expected to see more opportunities going forward with Royce O'Neale traded to the Suns on Thursday.

Makes most of opportunity
Wilson posted 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 119-107 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
This was the second largest workload of the season for Wilson, as the Nets were very shorthanded Tuesday evening. Brooklyn could potentially be sellers at the trade deadline, so Wilson is a player to monitor if they are able to move a veteran or two.

Impressive despite Wednesday loss
Wilson notched 21 points (5-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 144-122 loss to the Bucks.
ANALYSIS
Wilson led the Nets in scoring Wednesday and logged a season-high mark in several categories, including minutes played, points and rebounds. However, the fact that he logged double-digit minutes twice in 2023-24 suggests this double-double was an absolute anomaly. He should return to his regular bench role when the Nets take on the Wizards on Friday.

Plays 17 minutes off bench
Wilson totaled seven points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes during Thursday's 124-101 loss to the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Wilson has spent considerable time in the G League to begin the year, but he played double-digit minutes for the parent club for the first time in his career Thursday. He was relatively efficient off the bench, but it seems somewhat unlikely that he'll have a consistent role for Brooklyn moving forward.

Promoted to Brooklyn
Wilson has been added to the Nets' roster for Wednesday's game against Miami, Meghan Triplett of GrindCityMedia.com reports.
ANALYSIS
WIlson, the 51st pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, will have the opportunity to make his regular-season debut Wednesday. He played 39 minutes across four preseason appearances for Brooklyn, compiling 12 points, two rebounds and two assists.

Posts double-double in OT loss
Wilson put up 22 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3PT, 12-14 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes in Sunday's 102-99 Summer League loss to the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Despite struggling from the field, Wilson tied for a team-high in points, making a living at the free-throw line. The 51st overall pick was impressive in Summer League action, leading the Nets to the semifinals while showcasing his ability as a three-level scorer and rebounding at a high level.

Solid production in win
Wilson totaled 18 points (5-10 FG, 3-4 3PT, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals over 27 minutes in Sunday's 98-80 Summer League win over the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was not known for his outside shooting in college, but he was able to make 3-of-4 attempts in the game and finished with an efficient 18 points. The Kansas product also led the team in rebounding and showed his versatility, adding two steals and a couple of dimes. Wilson will likely bounce between the Nets' main roster and G-League affiliate throughout his rookie campaign, but he could find his way into the rotation if he continues to produce at such a high level.
Jul 5, 2023
Signs two-way deal
Wilson signed a two-way contract with the Nets on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Wilson was selected by the Nets with the 51st overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and he'll officially join the team on a deal that will allow him to shift between the G League and NBA clubs easily. The 22-year-old averaged 20.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 35.3 minutes per game during his senior season at Kansas.
