James Harden, SG, Houston Rockets

Price: $11,600

The Portland Trail Blazers have been very strong on the defensive end lately, but James Harden still offers a lot of fantasy appeal in this matchup.

He's coming off back-to-back games of at least 60 fantasy points, playing more than 36.5 minutes in each of those contests. His role in the Rockets' offense has been massive since the break as he leads the NBA with a 35.7% usage rate while playing 35.0 minutes per game in that span. It's no surprise that an already hyper-efficient fantasy producer like Harden -- he is leading the league with 1.51 FanDuel points per minute on the year -- is putting up especially solid numbers with this increased workload.

His $11,600 price-tag seems to factor in this tough matchup, leaving him priced pretty fairly tonight, and our models project him as the best point-per-dollar value tonight among players priced north of $9,000.
