James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $12,300

On a night where very few of the high-priced players draw good matchups, James Harden's consistently stellar production becomes especially valuable.

His 11 games with at least 50 FanDuel points over the past month are the second-most in the NBA. He has a huge 35.6% usage rate in 36.5 minutes per game in that span.

Despite a tough matchup with the Miami Heat, the Houston Rockets have a strong 114.5 implied total, and our projections are high on Harden. We have him as the top fantasy scorer on the slate by a big margin, projecting him for 8.3 more FanDuel points than anyone else in action today.
