Woj: Kyrie Irving (ankle) expected to miss rest of Nets-Bucks series
Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (ankle) is expected to miss the rest of the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Milwaukee Bucks, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
What It Means:
Irving injured his ankle during Game 4 on Sunday, and he was seen afterward in a walking boot and on crutches. The Nets haven't officially ruled out Irving beyond Game 5 on Tuesday. James Harden (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable for Game 5 after previously being ruled out. Bruce Brown will presumably remain in the starting lineup and Harden will replace Irving. Harden, Irving and Kevin Durant played just eight games together in the regular season and six games together in the playoffs.
Harden has a $14,500 salary on Tuesday's slate and numberFire's models project him to score 47.5 FanDuel points over 33.6 minutes. KD ($15,500) is projected for 58.0 FanDuel points in Game 5.
