James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $12,000

While his floor for fantasy scoring has been among the best, James Harden has also recently flashed some outstanding upside, with three games of 60-plus FanDuel points in the last month (including an absurd 89.7 fantasy point performance on Saturday). He has at least 50 fantasy points in 10 of his last 13 games, and his recent combination of consistency and upside is truly elite.

Thursday's game between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder should be a great one, as its 224 over/under is the highest on the slate and they rank 4th and 11th in pace, respectively.

Making this spot especially appealing for Harden, the Thunder have allowed top-10 fantasy production to opposing point guards this season, where Harden has played the majority of his minutes despite his shooting guard designation on FanDuel.
