It’s a nine-game slate for the NBA’s annual MLK Day celebration. Here are some intriguing spots that could pay off.
James Harden and Kevin Durant needed a little while to remember how to play together again. Once they did, the Brooklyn Nets really got rolling - and they might still get to another gear when Kyrie Irving rejoins them. Harden delivered 32 points and a triple-double in his Brooklyn debut, Durant scored a season-high 42 points in his first game back with his former teammate, and the Nets showed off their potent potential in a 122-115 victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday night.
Harden and Kevin Durant combined for more than half of Brooklyn’s points.
