James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $11,600

James Harden has been incredibly consistent all season, with 40-plus FanDuel points in every single one of his games, as well as 50-plus in 21 of his 31 games -- including 6 of his last 8.

With a career-high 33.0% usage rate and an absurd 52.6% assist rate while playing 36.7 minutes each night, Harden sees a huge workload and his fantasy floor doesn't come as much of a surprise.

He also get a big boost in upside against the Phoenix Suns, in a game that should see no shortage of fantasy production. The Suns and Houston Rockets both rank in the top-4 in pace in December, and Phoenix ranks only 26th in the NBA in defensive rating this season, while having allowed the 5th-most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards.

That's Harden has played most of his minutes this year, so he's in a great spot.
