James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $11,400

Friday night against the Denver Nuggets was the first time James Harden posted fewer than 40 FanDuel points in a game this season, and his 19 games of 40-plus fantasy points are the second-most in the league.

He also ranks third in the NBA with 52.8 FanDuel points per game, sixth with a 33.6% usage rate, and he combines his excellent floor with elite upside, having topped 60 FanDuel points on five different occasions.

Coming off three days of rest after a grueling back-to-back last week, he draws a pretty good matchup against the Boston Celtics, who are 20th in defensive rating. Our projections have Harden as the second-highest fantasy scorer of the night.
