James Harden is out today. If the Nets fall to the Nuggets, they will:

‣ Be the 7th seed in the East.

‣ Tied with Denver for picks 18-19 of the Draft.

‣ Just percentage points ahead of Boston (8th seed, 17th pick) if the Celtics beat the Magic today. – 12:27 PM Nick Friedell @NickFriedell

Nick Friedell: Nets say James Harden (left hamstring tightness) and Nic Claxton (left hamstring tightness) are both questionable for Sunday’s game vs. Nuggets. -via Twitter @NickFriedell / February 5, 2022 Alex Schiffer: James Harden is not on the Nets bench tonight from what I saw but was in the arena pregame. Overreact to that any way you please. -via Twitter @Alex__Schiffer / February 4, 2022 Nick Friedell: Nash says the decision to hold Harden out tonight is precautionary — they want to give him another couple days to make sure his hamstring is feeling better. Nash does not believe Harden will need an MRI — and he’s hopeful he’ll play Sunday in Denver. -via Twitter @NickFriedell / February 4, 2022
