Muted effort in loss
Powell registered eight points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors.
Analyse
The rookie first-round pick had a mild effort to close out the regular season. Powell was used sparingly by the Nets, as he appeared in 63 games with averages of 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.8 three-pointers in 20.9 minutes. He was never close to being a consistent fantasy producer.

Analyse
Powell didn't play in Friday's 125-108 loss to Milwaukee. However, he will return to the starting lineup for the final game of the 2025-26 campaign. In 23 starts this season, the rookie has averaged 8.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.2 blocks and 0.7 steals across 25.3 minutes.

Not listed on injury report
Powell (knee) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game in Toronto, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Powell is set to return from a one-game absence, and he could approximate the 40-minute threshold if Nolan Traore (illness) can't give it a go. Powell holds per-36 averages of 11.1 points, 2.5 assists, 1.4 triples and 1.0 steals per game.

Out Friday at Milwaukee
Powell is listed outfor Friday's game against the Bucks due to left knee injury management.
Analyse
Powell will be in line for his first absence since March 23. With Powell among the 10 players the Nets have ruled out for Friday, extended minutes should be available for players like Trevon Scott, Malachi Smith and Tyson Etienne, among others.

Not starting Thursday
Powell won't start Thursday's game against the Pacers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Analyse
Tyson Etienne will step into the starting five in the front end of this back-to-back, pushing Powell to the second unit. The rookie first-rounder has averaged 3.8 points and 1.6 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per contest over his last five appearances off the bench.

Struggles with shot despite win
Powell finished with 11 points (4-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Tuesday's 96-90 victory over the Bucks.
Analyse
Powell had a woeful shooting performance, making just 25 percent of his attempts, and while his fantasy line was far from eye-popping, he managed to contribute in each of the five major categories. Powell has started every game he's been available for the Nets since March 9. However, his averages of 8.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game aren't particularly impressive, especially since he's also shooting 38.4 percent from the floor in that span.
