James Harden leads Rockets over Warriors with 27 points in easy win
Houston Rockets guard/forward James Harden scored 27 points (8-of-23 field goals, 4-of-14 3-pointers, 7-of-8 free throws) with 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 1 turnover in 32.1 minutes during a 107-86 win over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday.
What It Means:
The points were a game-high and the lack of turnovers are a new personal-best for Harden this season. On the flip side, he's just 38-of-105 from the field (36.2 percent) over the past five outings. Harden's numbers are down slightly from recent years but he remains an elite fantasy option. The Rockets host the Sacramento Kings on Saturday.
Harden scored 40.1 FanDuel points on Thursday, which is actually his lowest output of the season. He's averaging 49.0 FanDuel points through 11 contests.
