James Harden - Could be back Saturday Brooklyn head coach Steve Nash said after Wednesday's 124-118 loss to Denver that he's hopeful Harden (hamstring) will be available for Saturday's game at Golden State, Kristian Wi...
Impact That being said, Winfield noted that Nash didn't give a definitive answer that Harden would be available Saturday, which suggests that his absence for Wednesday's game wasn't merely the result of the 32-year-old getting some maintenance for the second half of the back-to-back set. Harden notably contended with multiple hamstring-related setbacks during the second half of his first season in Brooklyn, so the Nets could be inclined to proceed cautiously with him if the training staff isn't convinced he's close to 100 percent heading into the weekend. If Harden isn't ready to go for the start of the Nets' five-game road trip, Kyrie Irving would serve as the Nets' primary point guard and playmaker, while players like Patty Mills, Cam Thomas and DeAndre' Bembry could be in store for enhanced roles.

NBA odds: Championship futures for every team after Anthony Davis' return
With Anthony Davis returning from an injury, the Lakers hope to shorten their title odds. Let's take a look at the futures for every team.JANUARY 27, 2022
Cam Thomas - Erupts off bench Thomas posted 25 points (8-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound and one assist across 26 minutes Wednesday in the Nets' 124-118 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Though he supplemented his career-high scoring total with little else, Thomas' red-hot shooting helped Brooklyn stay competitive on a night in which all of James Harden (hamstring), Kyrie Irving (not eligible), Kevin Durant (knee) and Joe Harris (ankle) weren't available. Despite the big offensive outburst, Thomas can't be counted on to replicate this sort of performance heading into the Nets' next game Saturday at Golden State, where both Irving and Harden are likely to be available.
JANUARY 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
LaMarcus Aldridge - Quality numbers in starting role Aldridge posted 18 points (7-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 33 minutes Wednesday in the Nets' 124-118 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact For the first time since returning in mid-January from a five-game absence due to foot soreness, Aldridge entered the starting five. He received the appointment to the top unit due to Nicolas Claxton (rest) and Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) being sidelined, but Aldridge will likely come off the bench Saturday at Golden State in the likely event that both of the younger centers are available. Expect Aldridge to stick in a 20-to-25-minute role when Brooklyn is at full strength in the frontcourt, rendering the 36-year-old more of a low-end option in 12-team leagues.
