Nets depth chart
The Brooklyn Nets' published depth chart at all five spots, the injury report, who played how many minutes last game, and our projected rotation for the next one.
The Brooklyn Nets list 18 players across the five spots on the league's own depth chart, last changed Sep 30. First choice at each: Mikel Brown Jr. at point guard, Egor Demin at shooting guard, Michael Porter Jr. at small forward, Julius Randle at power forward and Day'Ron Sharpe at center. It is an ordering, not a minutes projection — a club can list five point guards and play two.
1 on the injury report. Out: Tyler Bilodeau.
Last game, at the Heat on Wed, Oct 14 (L 128-144), a preseason game: 14 players got on the floor. Julius Randle 28, Michael Porter Jr. 27 and Keon Ellis 24 led the minutes. 6 dressed or listed and did not play.
Next up: vs the Hornets, Wed, Oct 21 at 7:30 PM ET. The model projects 15 players at 10 or more minutes, led by Julius Randle (32.6), Michael Porter Jr. (32) and Noah Clowney (26.6). That is our minutes projection off usage and availability, not the club's announcement — the NBA names its starters about 30 minutes before tip.

A projection, not a lineup. “Proj min” is his minutes if he dresses; “Plays” is the chance he is in the rotation at all. Both are the numbers behind the points board and the fantasy projections, last repriced Oct 21. Starters are official about 30 minutes before tip.
