James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $11,800

James Harden is nursing a bruised calf, but he is probable for the Rockets tonight. Unless we hear anything to the contrary, it's safe to assume he'll be in for his usual workload in Monday's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.

"Usual workload" for Harden means big, consistent minutes. He has played at least 35 minutes in each of his last six games, and he boasts a hefty 36.0% usage rate in that stretch. Unsurprisingly, he has had little trouble turning that workload into massive fantasy production, and averaging 58.9 FanDuel points per game across his last six.

Don't expect those big numbers to fall off today as he takes on a Pelicans team that ranks in the bottom 10 in defensive rating while also allowing top-10 fantasy production to opponents at both wing positions.

Our models have Harden as the day's top-projected fantasy scorer.
