That's terrific news for the Nets. Harden had missed five weeks and returned to a minutes restriction, as well as coming off the bench for Brooklyn.
As for Harris, he missed a couple of games but is also good to go, a huge advantage for Steve Nash and this Nets' squad who are on a quest to capture an NBA title after spending big.
The Nets have the talented trio of Harden, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving, and none more hungry for a title than Harden. Their role players will be of utmost importance as well, which is where Harris comes in.
The Nets finished the year as the 2-seed in the Eastern Conference, although they are regarded by many as the favorites to take home the Larry O'Brien Trophy. So, the pressure is on for the Nets, although having Harden and Harris ready to go full speed is a huge advantage and could spell doom for the Celtics and the rest of the Eastern Conference.
