James Harden leads Rockets to victory with 31 points
by Brad Richter | Clippers Correspondent | Sat, Feb 24th 11:55am EST
James Harden scored a team-high 31 points despite hitting just 8-for-24 shots from the field and 3-of-10 from three-point range. His perfect 12-of-12 from the line saved his scoring output while he added nine assists, two rebounds and a pair of steals during the Rockets 120-102 win over the Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact:
Not the best shooting performance from Harden but his ability to get to the line allows him to maintain a high floor even when his shot is off. The addition of Chris Paul has certainly not hurt Harden's scoring production as his 31.3 points per game marks a career-high. The impact of Paul shows up in his assist numbers which are down from 11.2 last season to 9.0 this year. Harden remains one of the top fantasy options in season-long and DFS.
