Brooklyn Nets DFS Notes
James Harden (left hamstring tightness) and Nic Claxton (left hamstring tightness) are both listed as questionable or Sunday’s game against the Nuggets. The Beard was inactive for Friday’s game against the Jazz and didn’t look quite right in the game before that, and given that hamstring injuries tend to linger, the team may be cautious with their star player. Luckily, tomorrow’s game is in Denver, meaning point guard Kyrie Irving will be able to play and give the Nets a chance if Harden can’t suit up.
Denver Nuggets DFS Notes
Aaron Gordon (left hamstring tightness) is probable for Sunday’s game against the Nets. Gordon has missed Denver’s last two games with the tight hamstring, but he appears poised to make a return to the lineup. His return would drop Davon Reed back to the bench, and Reed did not offer much in the way of streaming value in his lone spot start. Reed should already be on the waiver wire in all leagues, just in case anyone added him ahead of Friday’s loss to the Pelicans.
