James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $11,000

The Houston Rockets have been leaning on James Harden for a role of about the same size as they did last year, averaging 36.3 minutes per game with a 34.3% usage rate. His 49.1% assist rate is also not far from where it was last season, leaving a drop in rebound rate as the only significant step back for his fantasy value.

That workload puts him in a good spot against the New York Knicks, who own a below-average defensive rating to start the year.

Harden hasn't yet blown up for any huge games but he has shown a solid floor with at least 50 FanDuel points in three of his last four games. Even though he hasn't flashed his upside yet, he has the league's second-most FanDuel performances of 70-plus points over the past two seasons. So, Harden still offers an elite ceiling while handling such a big workload.
