Rockets' Mike D'Antoni says he won't lessen James Harden's minutes
Houston Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni said his plan to trim guard James Harden's minutes went out the window due to guard Chris Paul's (knee) injury.
What It Means:
D'Antoni said he plans on keeping Harden between 36 and 38 minutes per game, but he also mentioned that if the Rockets are blowing out teams, he will use those instances to sit his star guard in the fourth quarter. Keep that in mind with the Rockets' upcoming road trip where they play the Hornets, Knicks and Hawks in late October and early November.
Our models project Harden for 52.3 FanDuel points over 36.9 minutes, at a cost of $11,300.
