Notches 15 points in finale
Saraf amassed 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 26 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 136-101 loss to the Raptors.
Analyse
Saraf's rookie season officially came to an end Sunday. He spent lots of time in the G League as well, but he amassed 44 regular-season appearances at the NBA level. He didn't have much fantasy appeal until the very end of the campaign, finishing with averages of 7.5 points, 3.3 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.9 steals on 39.6 percent shooting in 20.8 minutes per contest.

Strong line in loss
Saraf logged 19 points (8-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 28 minutes during Thursday's 123-94 loss to the Pacers.
Analyse
The Nets were without most of their roster for the front end of this back-to-back set, and only seven players saw the floor as a result. Although he's seen healthy workloads, Saraf is averaging just 11.8 points, 4.1 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 26.7 minutes per contest over his last 13 appearances.

Loaded stat line in win
Saraf closed Tuesday's 96-90 win over Milwaukee with 19 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes.
Analyse
Saraf didn't have a good shooting performance Tuesday night but going 9-for-10 from the charity stripe salvaged his scoring output, and he complemented it with decent numbers in peripheral categories. Saraf has started just three times since the beginning of March, but he's been showing what he can do of late with an uptick in his playing time. He has scored in double digits in five of his last eight appearances, a stretch in which he's averaging 11.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game despite shooting just 40.2 percent from the floor and 18.8 percent from deep.

Available against Milwaukee
Saraf (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Bucks.
Analyse
Saraf didn't play in Sunday's 121-115 win over the Wizards. However, he was listed as probable heading into the meeting with Milwaukee, and it's now confirmed that he will avoid a second consecutive absence. The rookie has had a quiet start to his NBA career, averaging 6.6 points, 1.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 38.2 percent from the field and 21.6 percent from deep across 19.6 minutes in 40 appearances.
