Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Drains five threes Tuesday
Rotowire
Dinwiddie racked up 26 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Bucks.
The veteran guard had his best night from beyond the arc since he went 6-for-11 on threes against Utah in late January when he was still a member of the Mavericks. Dinwiddie's second stint in Brooklyn has been erratic so far -- he's scored 20 or more points in four of seven games, but couldn't get out of single digits in the other three -- but he's averaging 17.0 points, 6.0 assists, 4.1 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.0 steals with his new club, a close match for his production this season in Dallas.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Plays well despite loss
Rotowire
Dinwiddie racked up 28 points (8-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-9 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 124-106 loss to the Knicks.
Dinwiddie was one of the few bright spots for Brooklyn as it dropped a game to the Knicks for the first time since Jan. 26, 2020. Dinwiddie certainly seems to be the focal point of this new-look offense while Ben Simmons continues to be used in a very limited role. Next up is a matchup against a Miami team Wednesday that will be missing Kyle Lowry (knee).

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Scores 25 in return to Brooklyn
Rotowire
Dinwiddie amassed 25 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), five rebounds, six assists and four steals over 39 minutes during Thursday's 116-105 win over Chicago.
Dinwiddie rejoined Brooklyn after being part of the deal that sent Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks, and the guard dazzled in his return the franchise by leading the team offense in this win. Dinwiddie has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last eight outings and should remain a significant offensive force for the Nets now that Irving and Kevin Durant (knee) are no longer with the franchise.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Debuting Thursday
Rotowire
Dinwiddie (coach's decision) will make his Nets debut Thursday against the Bulls, Chris Milholen of SI.com reports.
Head coach Jacque Vaughn held out Dinwiddie in what could have been the point guard's debut Monday against the Clippers and Tuesday against the Suns, giving him more time to get acclimated. Dinwiddie should see plenty of usage in his new home, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about his value changing, especially with Kevin Durant (knee) still sidelined. Since the beginning of the new year, Dinwiddie has averaged 20.8 points, 5.5 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 37.0 minutes.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Sitting out Tuesday
Rotowire
The Nets announced that Dinwiddie won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Suns in a coach's decision, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Even though the Nets will be somewhat shorthanded Tuesday with three players already sitting out due to injury, head coach Jacque Vaughn won't turn to the team's new trade pickups -- Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith -- to fill minutes since neither has had the opportunity to practice with Brooklyn following their acquisition from the Mavericks on Monday. Edmond Sumner will likely be in line for another turn as the Nets' starting point guard, though that role should ultimately belong to Dinwiddie if Brooklyn doesn't ship him elsewhere ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Dinwiddie's next chance to make his Nets debut arrives Thursday against the Bulls.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Change of plans, out Tuesday
Rotowire
Dinwiddie will not make his Nets debut Tuesday against the Suns due to "coach's decision," Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.
The guard was initially expected to play Tuesday, but there's been a change of plans. Dorian Finney-Smith is also out, but fantasy managers should expect both to debut Thursday against the Bulls. On a positive note, Ben Simmons (knee) will return after a five-game absence.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Likely to be available Tuesday
Rotowire
Dinwiddie is expected to be available to make his Brooklyn debut in Tuesday's game against Phoenix, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.
Brooklyn hasn't officially commented on the statuses of Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith for Tuesday's contest, but after their acquisitions were finalized Monday, the shorthanded Nets could benefit from having both players available in some capacity for the second half of a back-to-back set. Because he hasn't yet gone through a full practice with the Nets, Dinwiddie may come off the bench Tuesday and/or have his minutes managed to some extent, but provided he isn't moved elsewhere ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, the 29-year-old should eventually settle into a full-time role as Brooklyn's starting point guard.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Not expected to play Monday
Rotowire
Dinwiddie (recently traded) isn't expected to make his Nets debut Monday against the Clippers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Per Schiffer, the blockbuster trade between the Mavericks and Nets isn't official as of Monday morning, and even if the deal is finalized later in the day, Dinwiddie and Dorian Finney-Smith likely still won't be available against Los Angeles. Brooklyn plays again Tuesday versus the Suns, which may also be too quick of a turnaround, so it's certainly possible the duo doesn't suit up for its new team until Thursday's matchup against Chicago.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Traded to Brooklyn
Rotowire
The Nets acquired Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a 2029 unprotected first-round pick and 2027 and 2029 second-round picks from the Mavericks on Sunday in exchange for Kyrie Irving (calf) and Markieff Morris (knee), Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Dinwiddie will return to the team where he's seen the most success throughout his career, and he'll step into a decent-sized role, filling some of the offensive void vacated by Irving. At least in the short term, Dinwiddie's value should hold in Brooklyn, but his arrival takes some wind out of the sails of Cam Thomas. Dinwiddie may also see a downturn in his overall usage once the Nets have Kevin Durant (knee) and Ben Simmons (knee) back at full strength.
