Sharpe will return to a reserve role in Saturday's Game 1 tilt against the 76ers.
The Nets rested most of their usual starters in their regular-season finale, which resulted in Sharpe getting a rare spot start. He is now set to return to his usual role of providing depth in the team's frontcourt.

Rotowire
Sharpe accumulated nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 14 minutes during Saturday's 129-100 victory over Miami.
Sharpe needed just 14 minutes to nearly post his second double-double over his past three matchups. The second-year big man has carved out a role as the primary backup center behind Nic Claxton and has appeared in four straight games, posting 10.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, 1.0 assists and 0.8 assists in 14.0 minutes during that stretch.

Sharpe lifted the Nets off the bench while posting team-high marks in scoring, rebounds and steals en route to a double-double performance. Sharpe, who tied a season-high mark in scoring, has tallied a double-double twice this season after doing so for the first time Dec. 10 against Indiana.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Fills stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Sharpe totaled 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 loss to Milwaukee.
With a handful of Brooklyn's regulars sidelined for the first half of a back-to-back set and head coach Jacque Vaughn opting to bench his starters following a slow start Thursday, the former UNC star saw action for the first time since March 1. Sharpe struggled from the field and needed 13 shots to score 11 points, but he still posted a decent stat line with contributions across the five major categories. He's not receiving consistent minutes, meaning this performance was likely an outlier rather than a sign of things to come.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Slides back to bench
Rotowire
Sharpe will not start Saturday's game against the 76ers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Sharpe saw a spot start Thursday and produced eight points and 12 rebounds in 28 minutes but will return to the bench with Nic Claxton (hamstring) active. Although Sharpe currently sits behind Claxton and Ben Simmons on the depth chart, Brooklyn could make an effort to give him more minutes for development purposes.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Starting Thursday
Rotowire
Sharpe will join the first unit for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.
Surprisingly, Sharpe will receive the starting nod at center despite Ben Simmons being available for the contest. It will be the 22-year-old's second start of the season, and although he posted a double-double in 32 minutes in his first start, it's unlikely Sharpe replicates that performance Thursday.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Available Thursday
Rotowire
Sharpe (foot) is available Thursday against Chicago, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Sharpe dealt with a sore right foot ahead of Thursday's matchup but will be able to suit up against the Bulls. He's averaged 4.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game over his last six appearances, but his role could fluctuate slightly after T.J. Warren was traded to the Suns on Thursday.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Plays well once again in 27 minutes
Rotowire
Sharpe amassed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 139-96 loss to the Celtics.
This comes on the heels of a breakout performance Monday when he scored eight points with 14 rebounds against the Lakers. Sharpe's 27-minute workload Wednesday night was his second-highest mark of the season, although garbage time was a factor with the Nets getting run out of the building. Sharpe has captured the attention of fantasy managers with his strong play, but it's worth noting that Ben Simmons (knee) could be back as soon as Saturday versus the Wizards.

Nets' Day'Ron Sharpe: Fares well as second-unit center
Rotowire
Sharpe finished with eight points (4-8 FG), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 21 minutes in Monday's 121-104 win over the Lakers.
The absence of Ben Simmons (knee) enabled Sharpe to step in as the second-unit center behind Nic Claxton for the second game in a row, and the second-year big man was able to come through with a fantasy-friendly line. Considering that he played just 14 minutes in a seven-point win over the Knicks two days prior, Sharpe won't be guaranteed a 20-minute role moving forward, even if Simmons misses additional time. With Claxton playing well this season and likely to take on 30 minutes in most games so long as he avoids foul trouble, Sharpe merely remains a name to monitor rather than someone that warrants a pickup in 12-team leagues or shallower.
