Kyrie Irving (groin) sitting for Nets in front of back-to-back
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers.
Irving will take a seat in the front end of a back-to-back for Brooklyn. Kevin Durant should see an uptick in usage and there will be more minutes for guys like Landry Shamet, Tyler Johnson, and Mike James.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Nets have the highest implied total (125.6 points) on Thursday's slate and the over/under in the Nets-Pacers game (243.0 points) is the highest out of the six games being played.
