ANALYSIS: According to ESPN, Harden has ramped up in recent practices with the goal of playing ahead of the start of next week's Eastern Conference playoffs. The trio of Durant, Harden, and Kyrie have only played in seven games together this season. It should be noted that Irving's status for tomorrow's game is now uncertain due to a facial contusion he suffered in tonight's win over the Bulls, so the Nets may have to continue to play without their star-studded trio at full strength.
