Best of the Best

James Harden (FanDuel Price: $11,700): Harden's fantasy production has been incredibly consistent this season. While he finally posted his first game with less than 40 FanDuel points last week, he has still topped the 50-point mark in 12 of his 16 games over the past month. He owns an average of 55.2 FanDuel points per game in that span, coming on a very well-rounded 28.3 points, 12.4 assists and 9.0 rebounds per game. His price tag is pretty reasonable tonight considering that production, especially with a matchup against the Charlotte Hornets squad allowing above-average fantasy production to both guard positions this season. Harden is our top projected fantasy player on the slate.
