A COVID-19 outbreak that KO’d James Harden and six other players left the Nets with the NBA’s minimum of eight available players — four of them rookies — for Tuesday night’s game against the Raptors at Barclays Center.

Durant, playing on a sore ankle that made him a game-time decision to even play, had a triple-double (34 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists) in a game-high 48:11.
