James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $12,000

if you're not on the LeBron train tonight, pivoting to James Harden is a terrific alternative.

Yes, Harden's production is down since Chris Paul returned, but "down" from the absurd numbers he had posted since December has still meant 55.4 FanDuel points in 36.9 minutes per game. That's coming from 36.0 points, 6.8 boards, 5.2 assists and 2.0 steals per game, and he's still averaging over 26 field goal attempts and 9 free throws per game in those 10 contests. Impressive offensive numbers by just about any standard.

He brings that into an appealing matchup tonight, taking on a Charlotte Hornets team that sits bottom 10 in the NBA in defensive rating, allowing top-eight fantasy efficiency to opposing shooting guards.
