James Harden struggles from field in Rockets' victory
Houston Rockets guard/forward James Harden scored 21 points (4-of-20 field goals, 13-of-18 free throws) with 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks in 40.4 minutes of Thursday's 100-96 overtime victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Harden went 0-for-8 from beyond the arc but he out-scored the Pistons 10-8 by himself in overtime to get the Rockets the victory. They have a back-to-back set this weekend and head coach Mike D'Antoni seemed to insinuate that Harden would sit out for one of the contests.
Harden scored 47.1 FanDuel points on Thursday, compared to his average of 53.6 FanDuel points per game for the season.
