James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $12,200

The matchup in that Houston/Golden State game isn't quite as good for the Rockets since the Warriors are a solid defensive team. However, in what promises to be an incredibly fast-paced, high-scoring game, you can't ignore James Harden, who ranks second in FanDuel NBA scoring this season.

Harden has been on an absolute tear recently, with at least 58 FanDuel points in five of his last seven games, which includes three performances of 65-plus points. He's sporting a huge 36.3% usage rate while playing 36.3 minutes per game over the past month, averaging 30.9 points, 11.2 assists and 8.7 rebounds.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise when you consider Harden's production and the quality of matchup, but he is our top projected fantasy scorer for Friday.
