James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $12,000

The Houston Rockets clash with the Phoenix Suns has a big 226.5-point over/under, and Houston's 116.25 implied total is the highest on the slate. The Suns have played at the league's second-highest pace this season while ranking 24th in defensive rating and allowing the 5th-most fantasy points per games to opposing point guards.

James Harden's absurd production this year probably doesn't need much introduction -- he sits second in the NBA with 52.9 FanDuel points per game -- but one thing that is important not to overlook is his consistency. He has yet to finish a game with fewer than 40 fantasy points, and his 20 games of at least 50 FanDuel points are the second-most in the league.

Combining that consistency with such a good matchup makes him an elite fantasy option tonight both in terms of floor and upside.
