Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Productive against Orlando
Rotowire
Dinwiddie had 22 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Saturday's 129-101 win over the Magic.
Dinwiddie was impressive on both ends of the court and played well as the primary playmaker in Brooklyn's dominant win Saturday. The veteran floor general is not monopolizing the orchestrating of the offense, but he has still delivered solid numbers on the offensive end. He has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games while averaging 6.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in that span.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Leads Nets with 23 points
Rotowire
Dinwiddie totaled 23 points (5-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 10-10 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and four steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 115-103 victory over Toronto.
Dinwiddie has done a fine job leading the Nets offensively in the absence of Cam Thomas (ankle) and Ben Simmons (back). Dinwiddie's last four games have been the best stretch of his season, averaging 21.8 points, 9.5 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 2.8 three-pointers. The bad news is that he shot 37.3 percent from the field during that stretch.

Dinwiddie's workloads have been through the roof with the Nets missing Cam Thomas (ankle) and Ben Simmons (back).

The bad news is that he's averaging just 0.5 steals and shooting 40.7 percent from the field in that stretch.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Big double-double in OT loss
Rotowire
Dinwiddie totaled 26 points (9-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and 12 assists in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 147-145 overtime loss to Atlanta.
The veteran guard used the extra time to produce his first double-double of the season while scoring more than 20 points for the third time in 13 games. Dinwiddie had a bumpy start to 2023-24, but he appears to be rounding into form -- over his last six contests, he's averaging 16.8 points, 6.7 assists, 4.7 boards and 2.3 threes.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Leads all scorers Tuesday
Rotowire
Dinwiddie posted 29 points (10-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and nine assists in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 victory over the Magic.
Dinwiddie finally showed up Tuesday, pouring in a game-high 29 points to go with nine dimes. With news coming out that Ben Simmons (hip) is slated to miss at least the next week, Dinwiddie should find himself in a favorable position moving forward. While playing time does not always translate to production, he is someone who should be rostered in all formats, at least as a short-term option.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Puts up 12 points in loss
Rotowire
Dinwiddie notched 12 points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 20 minutes in Friday's 121-107 loss to the Celtics.
Dinwiddie didn't have his best performance Friday and was outplayed by Dennis Smith, who came off the bench to finish with 14 points and seven assists, and Lonnie Walker, who scored a team-high 20 points. Dinwiddie is not in danger of losing his starting role any time soon, but he's not doing any favors to fantasy managers with these erratic displays. He has now scored 12 or fewer points in four of his last five contests.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Plays just 24 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Dinwiddie amassed three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Monday's 129-125 loss to the Bucks.
Dinwiddie played just 24 minutes, tying his season low in games he has finished. It's been mixed results for the point guard to start 2023-24, and he's currently averaging fewer points, rebounds, assists and steals per game than he did last year. The emergence of Cam Thomas and the health of Ben Simmons have certainly put a damper on Dinwiddie's fantasy potential, but there should be some positive regression eventually.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Officially cleared
Rotowire
Dinwiddie (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls.
As expected, Dinwiddie has officially been deemed available after telling reporters during the team's morning shootaround that he'll play Friday after missing the previous contest with an ankle sprain. It's been a hit-or-miss start for the point guard, who posted 23 points and eight assists versus Dallas on Oct. 27 but has totaled just 10 points and six assists in his other two appearances combined.

Rotowire
Dinwiddie (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Rotowire
Dinwiddie (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Heat and is considered day-to-day.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Unlikely to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Dinwiddie (ankle) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Miami, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Dinwiddie sprained his left ankle during Monday's win over the Hornets and will likely be sidelined for at least one game. Dennis Smith (hip) is also doubtful, so Lonnie Walker and Royce O'Neale are candidates for increased roles in Brooklyn's backcourt.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Suffers ankle sprain
Rotowire
Dinwiddie (ankle) is out for the remainder of Monday's game versus Charlotte, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Dinwiddie rolled his ankle late in the first half and did not return to the bench to start the second half. Some combination of Dennis Smith, Cam Thomas and Royce O'Neale will assume extra playmaking duties, while more usage falls on the shoulders of Ben Simmons as well.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Dinwiddie provided 23 points (8-17 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and eight assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 125-120 loss to Dallas.
Dinwiddie struggled badly in the season opener but bounced back admirably here, ending just two assists away from a double-double and working as one of the Nets' main scoring weapons. Dinwiddie pairs well with Cam Thomas in the backcourt, and it wouldn't be shocking if the Nets employ this pairing more often, though for that to happen, the team may have to move Ben Simmons to the frontcourt on a regular basis while also keeping close tabs on the availability of Nic Claxton (ankle).

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Strong from three in 15-point game
Rotowire
Dinwiddie finished with 15 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists and three rebounds over 23 minutes in Thursday's 135-103 preseason win over Ra'anana.
Dinwiddie had his best outing of the preseason in Thursday's victory over Ra'anana, finishing with his second straight game with four threes while ending as one of three Nets players with 15 or more points in the preseason victory. So far in the preseason, Dinwiddie has averaged 13.5 points.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Notches 12 points
Rotowire
Dinwiddie finished with 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 3PT) in 16 minutes during Monday's 129-126 preseason loss to the Lakers.
Dinwiddie started alongside Ben Simmons, so it's nice to see that the Nets are open to those two ball-handlers sharing the floor. Simmons will take away a lot of playmaking opportunities from Dinwiddie, though, so that's important to keep in mind during fantasy drafts.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Top distributor in 20-point outing

Dinwiddie was limited yet again in Monday's Game 2 defeat, the second time in as many games he failed to surpass 15 points or dish out more than eight assists. Dinwiddie surpassed the double-digit assist mark in 11 of his final 15 regular-season contests, also tallying at least 15 points in 10 of those games.

Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie: Decent stat line in loss
Rotowire
Dinwiddie closed Saturday's 121-101 loss to Philadelphia in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals with 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 36 minutes.
The Nets fought for three quarters against the 76ers, but they ultimately struggled to hold on down the stretch and dropped the series opener. Dinwiddie posted a decent stat line that was pretty much in line with what he accomplished during the regular season, as he averaged 16.5 points and 9.1 assists per game since joining the Nets in the trade that sent Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks. Dinwiddie should remain Brooklyn's starting point guard and main playmaker for Game 2 of the series, scheduled for Monday.
