Assuming everything short of Kyrie Irving getting vaccinated or New York modifying its mandates, the best bet for the number of games where the “Big Three” will play together is ... eight, maybe 10.
Kevin Durant is out through the All-Star Break with a strained meniscus, although he will be re-evaluated next week. James Harden is expected to play on the Nets road trip but anytime we see “Harden” and “hamstring” in the same sentence, we get nervous. Not to mention the persistent trade rumors. Kyrie Irving, of course, can only play on the road unless those road games are in New York or Toronto.
