James Harden, PG/SG, Houston Rockets

DraftKings Price: $11,600

There's only one true high-priced play on tonight's two-game slate, and that is none other than Houston Rockets guard James Harden. While you are certainly free to build some of your lineups without the reigning MVP, he's the only player on the slate who can realistically go out there and score 60-plus DraftKings points, so tread carefully if you choose not to fade him.

Harden started off the season's first three games in typical Harden fashion, but he then saw a poor stretch of eight games in which he failed to top 50 DraftKings points five times. Since then, however, he has been his usual self.

He has a mixed history against the Miami Heat, tonight's opponent. He failed to top 40 DraftKings points in four of his first seven games against them, but he has since been dominant, scoring at least 59.5 fantasy points in four of his past five against them. We project him for 56.5 DraftKings points tonight -- by far the most on the slate.
