FanDuel Fantasy Points Per Game More DFS

James Harden goes big in Rockets' season-opening win

Houston Rockets guard James Harden put up 27 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds and 49.2 FanDuel points in Tuesday's 122-121 win over the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

As Chris Paul struggled along with a nagging knee injury, Harden took on the primary playmaking duties as he finished 10-for-23 from the floor, 4-for-9 from three and 3-for-4 from the line. He limited himself to just three turnovers and is primed for an even better showing on Wednesday night against the Sacramento Kings.

On the second half of a back-to-back, we project Harden for 27.7 points, 11.3 assists and 8.0 rebounds at a price of $11,000. His projected 54.5 FanDuel points make him the top option on the board tonight.
