James Harden solid in opener

James Harden (G - LAC)

James Harden went 10-for-23 from the field and 3-for-4 from the free-throw line to total 27 points in the Rockets' 122-121 win over the Warriors. He also added 10 assists, six rebounds, and one steal.

Fantasy Impact
Questions surrounding how Chris Paul and Harden would coexist were answered for at least one night, as Harden still dominated shot opportunities for the Rockets. He also handled the ball plenty, dishing out 10 assists. Paul was bothered by a knee injury during the game, but Harden's performance in the season opener should soothe any concerns about a diminished role in the offense.
