James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $10,600

James Harden has defined "stud" lately. He leads the league with 49.2 FanDuel points per game over the past month and is playing a massive role as the Rockets try to sneak into the playoffs. He has a 30.6 percent Usage Rate in that span, and he has played 40-plus minutes in every one of his last 10 games with an average of 42.6 minutes per game.

Unsurprisingly, his production has been huge through those 10 games: 30.4 points, 9.6 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 steals, good for 53.0 FanDuel points per game.

There aren't many matchups you'd want to fade him in here, but against the Timberwolves, he actually becomes that much more appealing a play. The Wolves rank 29th in Defensive Rating on the season, while they've given up the 10th-most fantasy points per game to opposing shooting guards.

Harden is all but a lock to play 40-plus minutes in a favorable matchup tonight, and that's about as ideal a situation as you can ask for.
