James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $10,700

In terms of pure upside, James Harden is one of the best fantasy options in the league. In February, Harden put up 50-plus fantasy points in six of his nine games. Only Steph Curry had more games above 50 fantasy points in the month. Harden also leads the league in 60-plus fantasy point games this season with eight.

Harden is second in the league in points per game in February with 32.1, and has also averaged 6.7 assists, 6.6 rebounds and 2.3 steals, good for 50.8 fantasy points per game.

He has a great matchup for continuing that success tonight against the Milwaukee Bucks, who rank 24th in Defensive Efficiency this season. Their points per game and effective field goal percentages allowed are both higher than league average, and they're getting shredded by wing players, giving up the fifth most fantasy points per game to shooting guards and the seventh most to small forwards.

Harden is sporting a ridiculous 34.1 percent Usage Rate in February, and he's in a great spot to continue putting up gaudy fantasy numbers tonight.
