Kyrie Irving - Could be eligible at home March 7Irving (not injury related) is expected to be eligible to play in Nets home games beginning with the team's March 13 game against the Knicks after New York City Mayor Eric Adams an...
ImpactAdams hinted at the potential removal of the city's vaccine mandate a week ago, and now a timeline for the change in protocol has seemingly been set. The news is a major development for Irving and the Nets, who continue to tread water without Ben Simmons (conditioning/back) and Kevin Durant (knee). Fantasy managers would surely benefit from the mandate being lifted; as of now, Irving is eligible to play in only seven of the team's remaining 21 games. Irving will still miss the Nets' next three games before returning to action March 6 in Boston, but if he's eligible to play in home games beginning March 7, he would then be available for the final 17 games of the regular season. Irving has only appeared in 15 contests in 2021-22, but he's played at a high level with averages of 25.1 points, 5.3 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 36.5 minutes per game. He's struggled to find any consistency with his jump shot, however, shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 36.6 percent from three-point range.

Seth Curry - Posts 19 points in road winCurry supplied 19 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three assists, one rebound, one steal and one block across 29 minutes Saturday in the Nets' 126-123 win over the Bucks.
ImpactCurry has fit in nicely with his new squad since joining Brooklyn as a secondary piece in the Feb. 10 blockbuster deal that sent Ben Simmons (conditioning) to the Nets and James Harden to the 76ers. While Simmons and Kevin Durant (knee) have missed each of Curry's first five games in Brooklyn and with Kyrie Irving sitting out each of the previous four contests before Saturday, Curry has quickly stepped in as a key component for the Nets. The veteran guard has averaged 19.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 3.6 treys in 31.8 minutes per game through five games in Brooklyn, and at least for the upcoming week, his fantasy value shouldn't take a major hit. Irving isn't eligible to play in the first three of the Nets' four games this week, Simmons is unlikely to play at all following a recent bout with back soreness during his conditioning ramp-up program, and Durant isn't expected to return until the back half of the week.

ImpactHill can thus be ruled out for at least the first three of the Bucks' four games during the upcoming week, and a return to the lineup next Sunday against the Suns may also be ambitious. The 33-year-old has been sidelined since late January with a sore neck.
