James Harden cooks up season-high 57 points, Rockets roast Grizzlies
Houston Rockets guard/forward James Harden scored a season-high 57 points (17-of-33 field goals, 17-of-18 free throws) with 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block, 6 3-pointers, and 5 turnovers over 34.1 minutes in Monday's 112-94 demolition of the Memphis Grizzlies.
Harden set a franchise record with 36 points in the first half alone and his 17th straight 30-point game surpassed Kobe Bryant's record for most such performances since the merger. He should continue to see an enormous amount of usage with Clint Capela (thumb) and Chris Paul (hamstring) both now sidelined.
Harden scored 74.8 FanDuel points for a second straight game in the victory. He's averaging 57.7 FanDuel points through 40 games overall.
