James Harden (hamstring) ruled out for Nets versus Hornets Thursday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward James Harden (hamstring) will not play Thursday against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
Harden had to make an early exit from Wednesday's contest after injuring his hamstring. He will remain out for the second leg of the Nets' back-to-back but Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that it's believed to be a minor issue. Kyrie Irving should see a massive usage rate Thursday and Jeff Green could replace Harden in the starting lineup.
Kyrie scored 50.7 FanDuel points in the only game he played this season without Harden or Kevin Durant (hamstring). He has a salary of $10,000 on Thursday's seven-game slate.
