Tyler Johnson (health protocols) ruled out for Nets on Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Tyler Johnson has been ruled out Thursday versus the Philadelphia 76ers due to health and safety protocols.

What It Means:

Johnson played a season-high 18 minutes last game after barely being in the rotation to start the season, and he likely would have seen a larger role Thursday without Kyrie Irving (personal) available. Chris Chiozza could wind up seeing all the minutes he can handle off the bench. Bruce Brown Jr. will likely make another start and also figures to see plenty of work.

Brown has become numberFire's best value play available on Thursday's five-game slate as a result of the Nets' injuries. He has a salary of $3,900 and our models currently project him for 23.7 FanDuel points.
