James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $11,700

The Houston Rockets have listed Chris Paul as questionable for tonight's game against the Washington Wizards, and if Paul can't go, Harden gets a massive boost to his fantasy value.

He has only played three games without Paul this year, but in that sample Harden is putting up 25.0 field goal attempts in over 38 minutes per game, compared to 19.6 attempts in 36.3 minutes per game with Paul playing.

The on/off splits are fairly pronounced as well -- in minutes with Paul on the floor this season, Harden has a 34.3% usage rate and averages 1.20 FanDuel points per minute, but with Paul off he averages a huge 1.57 with 41.3% usage.

Even if Paul does suit up, though, tonight's matchup is soft enough to keep Harden in play.

Washington is playing at the league's sixth-highest pace this season, which they combine with the third-worst defensive rating to allow the league's third-most points and second-most assists per game to their opponents.
