Brooklyn Nets G James Harden (hand) upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game vs. Phoenix Suns

PHOENIX -- James Harden (right hand strain) went through all of Tuesday's shootaround and has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

"I think he's feeling less irritation," Nash said after Tuesday's shootaround. "So the inflammation's come down. Therefore, the irritation is much better and he feels like he's functioning well so we're very hopeful."

Nash said Harden went through all of Monday's practice and Tuesday's shootaround, but they want to see how he warms up before the game before making a final decision.

As for Nets big man LaMarcus Aldridge (sprained left ankle), the news isn't as good.
