James Harden re-aggravated the hamstring injury that kept him out for nearly six weeks at the end of the season. The injury occurred less than a minute into the Brooklyn Nets game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Saturday’s contest is Game 1 of their second-round matchup in the NBA Playoffs.
Harden was one of the Nets’ best players in the opening round of the playoffs. The veteran guard played more than 39 minutes in each of his last three games, putting up at least 65.0 FanDuel Fantasy Points in each game. Harden’s absence will have a profound impact on DFS rosters, as he’s not expected to return and only grabbed one rebound before departing.
