According to Nets coach Steve Nash, the Nets' backcourt James Harden and forward Paul Millsap have ended the quarantine phase of the health and safety deal.
Some time ago, James Harden and Paul Millsap both triggered health and safety agreements. Although Harden was able to stay well during his time with the Rockets, harden suffered many injuries since joining the Nets, including missing most games due to hamstring problems in the 2020-21 season.
In the 26 games so far in the 2021-22 season, Harden's overall performance has declined, he averaged 20.8 points, 9.6 assists and 7.9 rebounds per game, such a data is certainly a significant decline compared to the rockets, mainly in the average number of points per game.
The comebacks of Harden and Millsap are certainly good news for the Nets, as both Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are still players who trigger health and safety deals. After refusing to be vaccinated, Irving has not played a single game for the Nets so far this season, and after the Nets decided to return Irving to play for the team, Irving contracted the new crown virus and could not play.
Harden and Millsap ended their isolation and returned, which means they may play for the Nets in the next Christmas game against the Lakers.
On the other hand, "theScore Bet" announced the current odds for the league's teams to win the championship, of which the Nets can lead with +250, the Warriors at +500 odds in second place, followed by the Bucks, Suns, Lakers and Jazz teams:
This is certainly good news for the Nets, after all, in the case of Kyrie Irving's inability to play, the Nets have been able to play well enough under durant and Harden, considering that Irving is still likely to return in future games, which also means that the Nets will still have the best championship team.
