There aren't many players with a higher fantasy floor than James Harden, who is one of only three players with 50-plus FanDuel points in at least 63% of his games this season. His upside is also hard to match. He is one of only two players with multiple 80-plus-FanDuel-point performances on the year. Unsurprisingly, he leads the league with 54.2 FanDuel points per game.

His recent workload has been as solid as ever, and since his first full game back from injury in late January, he's sporting a massive 37.0% usage rate in 35.9 minutes per game, averaging 54.9 fantasy points.

numberFire's models have Harden as Friday's top-projected fantasy scorer in a matchup with the Denver Nuggets and their bottom-10 defensive rating.
