No. Usually a net that can restrain you is not small enough to hold in one hand. It might be able to be held in one hand, but not when it is thrown against you.

What does deflect missiles do in RuneScape?
If the attack roll ends up being a hit, the Deflect Missiles feature gives you a second chance to avoid damage and sometimes avoid being hit at all. That is, “I didn’t quite dodge it, but I was able to stop a lot of the damage by focusing my Ki and knocking it away with my hand before it penetrates fully.”
When do you decide whether to deflect a missile?
So when you’re hit, but before damage is rolled (or revealed), you decide whether to deflect it or not. Besides, it’s a deflection. It wouldn’t make sense to see how wounded you are first, and only then decide whether to make the missile hit you differently or not at all.
What’s the difference between Fire Bolt and magic missile?
In your examples, Magic Missile has no attack roll. Fire Bolt includes “Make a ranged spell attack”. Neither, thus, are “ranged weapon attacks”. I hope that makes it clearer.
