Starting Friday vs. LAC
Mann appeared to be a healthy scratch for Wednesday's loss to Orlando, but he is back in the starting lineup for Friday's contest while Ziaire Williams comes off the bench. Mann has started each of his 30 regular-season games, and over his last 10 appearances he has averaged 7.3 points, 4.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals over 26.3 minutes per contest.

Sliding to bench Friday
With Terance Mann back in the starting lineup, Williams will retreat to the second unit. In 25 appearances off the bench so far this season, the 24-year-old swingman has averaged 9.0 points and 2.4 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per tilt.

Reverting back to bench
The Nets have deployed Sharpe as a starter for three consecutive games, though the club plans to have Nic Claxton return to his usual role in the first unit Friday. Sharpe has averaged 8.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 17.1 minutes per tilt across his last 10 games off the bench, so he should be able to maintain a decent level of fantasy value from the second unit.
