After three consecutive games were delayed, the Nets finally welcomed the return of a number of key players, ensuring that the upcoming Christmas war can be carried out as scheduled! According to the team's latest injury list, Harden, Brown, James Johnson and Bembry have all lifted their health and safety agreements, while Griffin and Clarkston, who were previously plagued by injuries, have also recovered from injuries, and they will all be able to play in tomorrow's Christmas game against the Lakers.
Harden brought a number of main players to ensure that this much-watched Christmas war will not become a chicken rib, but the most concerned "Jandu War" can not be staged because Durant is still in the health and safety agreement, which is a pity. Durant has participated in 10 Christmas wars in his career, averaging 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, which is very eye-catching. And this season's Durant, more known as the first person in the league, surpassed James, whose state began to decline after getting older, this Christmas war, which was originally the first head-to-head meeting between the two sides in the season, who can play a better performance and lead the team to win, will also make this season's league first battle more convincing. It's just a pity that the league's carefully arranged schedule eventually became rapid and varied due to Durant's absence. It is worth mentioning that since the Christmas battle between the Lakers and the Warriors on December 26, 2018, James and Durant have not played each other in an official game, and the meeting 3 years ago happened to be a Christmas war.
It is a pity that Jandu, who has not played in 3 years, missed it again, and when Durant can come back has also attracted the attention of many media and fans, Nash responded to this in an interview. Nash revealed that if Durant lifts the health and safety agreement, it is possible to play against the Clippers!
After the Christmas game with the Lakers, the Nets will continue to challenge the Clippers at staples Center on December 28, and that game, if there are no accidents, Durant will also return to the game as planned. Since the match against Philadelphia on the 17th, Durant has been absent for triggering a health and safety agreement, and it has been 8 days so far, during which he missed the Nets and Magic games, and the other three games were postponed. Durant's absence during this time, because Curry played a brilliant performance in the game, which also led to him being overtaken by Curry in the MVP list and giving up the top position.
On the latest issue of the NBA's official MVP list, Curry rose from the second place in the previous issue to the first, while Durant slipped from the first to the second place. Jokic was third, Paul was fourth, Alphabet Brother was fifth, Gobert was sixth, DeRozan was seventh, Mitchell was eighth, LaVin was ninth and Trae Young was tenth.
If the current trend is followed, this season's MVP will most likely be produced between Durant and Curry, who need to continue their season-to-date performances while ensuring that they try to avoid missing too many games due to injuries and other factors.
