On January 13, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, the East ushered in a focus battle, the second Nets away challenge the first Bulls. In the pre-game Nets updated injury report, Harden and Irving, who are placed in doubt, will be able to play, and the big three will join forces again.
In the injury report released by the Nets yesterday, Harden and Irving's appearance status is doubtful. Among them, Harden missed the game due to injury, and Irving was a little injured in the last game, fortunately, both of them were fine, and they also completed training before the game, and finally decided to play in today's game. Another doubtful Clarkston will miss the game due to a strained left hamstring.
With Harden and Irving on the table, the Nets Big Three will also join forces, the second time they've teamed up this season, the last time against the Pacers, to win. In the past 2 seasons, the Nets Big Three have only played 15 games together, achieving a record of 12 wins and 3 losses, and today's game against the Bulls will be the 16th game. The Nets need to win this game, and this season against the top four teams in the East and West, they have not yet won - 0 wins and 8 losses. This is the third time this season against the Bulls, the first two times the Nets have lost all games, this time bound to complete revenge.
Facing the Bulls twice this season, Durant has played very well, averaging 33 points, 10.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block per game, but unfortunately his performance did not help the team win the game, losing to the opponent twice. This time, he has Harden and Irving by his side, which is still worth looking forward to, after all, the effect of the three giants joining forces is still good. If he loses again this time, then head coach Nash's life is really not good, he has already encountered a lot of doubts before, and he has been called off the class many times by the fans, and there is not much change, and the class may become a reality.
Harden and Irving can play in today's game, but the Nets still have 3 players missing the game, the above-mentioned Clarkston, and Aldridge and Harris. Harris's situation was a little less optimistic, with head coach Nash saying in a pre-match interview: "Harris' injury recovery is a little more troublesome than the Nets expected. Harris has undergone ankle arthroscopy surgery and has only played 14 games this season, and without him, the Nets' outside line is much less threatening and expects him to return sooner rather than later.
