Why the Brooklyn Nets Should be the Favorites to Win it All

Another cause for concern is their health. Durant has only played in 19 out of the 40 games the Nets have played thus far this season. That doesn’t bode well for the Nets postseason hopes, especially for a guy like Durant who’s dealt with many injuries in his career.

Durant still remains out and will likely miss another 1-2 weeks of action as he continues to recover from a left hamstring strain, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

On the flip side, Kyrie Irving, who has had an even more riddled injury career than Durant, hasn’t missed as many games as KD. However, he has still dealt with his fair share of bruises this season. Kyrie has played in 29 of the possible 40 games thus far this season.

The last concern of the Nets that people share is James Harden. That is to say, how he’ll look in the postseason.
