DraftKings Salary: $11,600

Last night, James Harden proved once again that you do not fade him when Chris Paul is out. Even on 7-of-27 shooting, Harden was able to put up his fourth-consecutive game of at least 60 DraftKings points. That brings his average up to 68.3 DraftKings points over his past four games.

We know that Clint Capela is out for the Houston Rockets tonight, but Paul's status is still up in the air. Fortunately, this is one of the first games to lock on the slate, so we should have news on Paul's availability prior to lineup lock.

If Paul is out, you will be hard-pressed to find a better option than Harden, who is playing in the game with the highest over/under on the slate against the Washington Wizards. He is our top-projected scorer on the slate, and you need to have some exposure if Paul joins Capela on the sidelines.
