ANALYSIS: After suffering a setback in his hamstring recovery, Harden is set to return to the court this week, which would mark his first game action since April 5th. The Nets will hope to get some reps in with their star-studded trio of Durant, Harden, and Kyrie before the playoffs begin May 22nd.
