Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton (illness) wasn't present for the morning shootaround ahead of Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Claxton traveled with the team to Milwaukee, so he still might be able to suit up on Thursday night. Day'Ron Sharpe, Trendon Watford, and Noah Clowney should see more minutes if Claxton is sidelined. Claxton has played and started in every game for the Nets since December 29.
numberFire's models project Claxton for 31.5 minutes and 34.6 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Nets' implied total (105.5) is No. 9 out of 12 teams on the Main slate today.
