A disastrous minus-39 rating in just 20 minutes of action defined James Harden's night during Monday's loss to the Heat. Head coach Tyronn Lue pulled the plug on his starters just over a minute into the third quarter, ending Harden's evening with 11 points (2-of-6 FGs), three assists, two rebounds, one three-pointer, and five turnovers.

The veteran guard has typically been a stabilizing force during a rough Clippers campaign, but Monday proved to be a stark exception as he failed to check back into the game. The early hook robbed fantasy managers of any chance for garbage-time production in the 17-point defeat. Harden will attempt to right the ship on Wednesday when the team travels to Atlanta.

James Harden salvaged a rough shooting performance by living at the free-throw line during Saturday's loss to the Mavericks. While he connected on just 5-of-17 attempts from the field, he drained 17-of-19 shots from the charity stripe to finish with 29 points. He rounded out his second consecutive double-double with 11 assists, eight rebounds, one block, and two three-pointers.

Ball security remains a significant issue for the star guard, who was responsible for seven of Los Angeles' 18 turnovers in the defeat. He is now averaging five giveaways per game over the last week, a trend that has dampened his overall fantasy value despite the high counting stats. Harden will look to tighten up his handle when the Clippers kick off a four-game schedule in Week 7.

Harden continues an impactful stretch on both ends of the floor, grabbing two or more rebounds, dishing out six or more assists, and scoring 19 or more points in each of his last five games.
