James Harden, PG/SG, Houston Rockets

DraftKings Price: $11,600

OK, let's see what we have here. A nationally televised game? Check. Several games of rest? Check. A matchup against another superstar in which he'll want to showcase his swagger? Check. A huge total set at 232.5 points? Check. All of those things are just icing on the cake for Houston Rockets guard James Harden, who has been tearing teams apart at will this season, regardless of the situation.

Harden enters tonight's game with a league-leading, and career-best, 36.6 points per game. If he finished the season there, it would be the most since Michael Jordan averaged 37.1 in the 1986-87 season. He can tie that by averaging roughly 38.2 points per game the rest of the way -- he's averaging 38.3 in February.

Not counting the All-Star game, the last time Harden scored fewer than 30 points was on December 11, and he still scored 29 that day. We project him to keep his streak going tonight, projecting him for 35.2 points and 59.6 DraftKings points when he takes on the Los Angeles Lakers.
