Harris underwent ankle surgery last season and has not played since Nov. 14, 2021. 

Therefore, this is a significant addition to the Nets' rotation. 

In 14 games last season, he averaged 11.3 points per contest on 46.6% shooting from the three-point range. 

He is one of the best shooters in the entire NBA, and in 2021, he shot 47.5% from the three-point range while averaging 14.1 points per contest in 69 games.

The Nets have a loaded roster with Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons, so role players like Harris will be critical in complementing them. 

Since he can shoot so well, he will be a big addition to the spacing on their floor.

Defenses cannot leave him open because he will hit the open shot. 

Therefore, it's much harder to double-team any of their All-Stars. 

As for the Raptors, they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers by a score of 108-105 in their first game, so they will come into the evening 1-0.
