James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $11,300

James Harden posted the second-highest fantasy total from any player this season on Saturday, with 89.7 FanDuel points coming from 53 points, 17 assists, and 16 rebounds.

There were some legitimate concerns about his fantasy upside as his usage rate fell towards the middle of December, but it has really bounced back -- to at least 40% in three of his last four games -- and that has helped him post two of his three highest fantasy scores of the season in his last two games.

Tonight's matchup between the Houston Rockets and the Washington Wizards has a big 229 over/under, tied for the highest on the slate, and with the Wizards ranking only 21st in defensive rating on the season, they're not likely to slow down the tear that Harden finds himself on.
