James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $11,100

The Rockets' game against Sacramento tonight is a win-and-in, so we can expect them to pull out every stop to pick up the victory tonight.

As they've made a late push for the playoffs, no player in the league has done as much work as James Harden. He leads the league with 50.3 FanDuel points per game over the past month while playing a massive (and also league-leading) 40.1 minutes per game, while sporting a 30.9 percent Usage Rate.

There are very few teams that would make me consider fading Harden tonight. Not only are the Kings not on that list, but they're also a pretty ideal matchup.

The Kings rank first in the league in Pace, and the Rockets rank seventh, meaning we're going to get a ton of possessions in this one. The Kings also struggle on the defensive end, ranking 21st in Defensive Rating, which combines with their fast tempo to create huge fantasy scoring opportunities. They allow above-average fantasy scoring to opponents at every position, including the third-most fantasy points per game to shooting guards.
