Iffy for Wednesday
Saraf is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to left foot soreness.
Analyse
The questionable tag suggests that Saraf is day-to-day. Over his last eight contests, he's been more involved with averages of 7.9 points, 4.1 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 21.9 minutes per contest.

Another double-digit scoring effort
Saraf contributed 15 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four assists and four steals across 24 minutes during Monday's 114-95 loss to Portland.
Analyse
Saraf provided a spark off the bench, tallying 15 points while recording a game-high and season-best four steals. The guard has now scored in double figures in each of his past four games, a notable stretch considering he had reached the 10-point mark just four times across the rest of the campaign. With fellow rookie Egor Demin (foot) out for the year, Saraf should continue to see extended opportunities down the stretch of the regular season.

Cleared to play
Saraf (calf) is available to play Monday against Portland.
Analyse
Saraf will shake off a questionable tag for this contest. In his most recent outing Saturday against the 76ers, the rookie put up 12 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals across 31 minutes. With Brooklyn shorthanded, Saraf should see 20-plus minutes again.

Nursing calf injury
Saraf is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Portland due to a left calf contusion.
Analyse
The rookie first-rounder likely picked up the injury during Saturday's game against the 76ers, when he played 31 minutes and finished with 12 points, five assists, four rebounds and two steals in a 104-97 loss. Tyson Etienne would see a significant bump in minutes if Saraf was ruled out for Monday's home contest.

Back to bench
Saraf won't start Saturday's game against the 76ers, Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today reports.
Analyse
With Nolan Traore back in action, Saraf will slide to a reserve role. However, the rookie could still see plenty of action, given Michael Porter (ankle) and Drake Powell (knee) are out Saturday.

Drawing rare start Thursday
Saraf will start Thursday's game against the Hawks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Analyse
Saraf will step into the starting lineup Thursday with Nolan Traore (rest) unavailable. This will mark Saraf's first start since Oct. 29, when he failed to score in 12 minutes against Atlanta.
