James Harden Still Searching For First Triple-Double
James Harden has been dominant to start the year, narrowly missing a triple-double in Monday's win over the Indiana Pacers. Harden finished with 29 points, 11 assists, nine rebounds, five three-pointers and two steals in 35 minutes. Harden's flirted with a triple-double in all of his game's this year as head coach Doc Rivers continues to use him in a Magic Johnson-like role. Harden is looking like a steal at his late first round ADP, but has a tough match up with his next opponent. The Toronto Raptors allow the second-fewest points and third-fewest assists to opposing guards this season.

James Harden Struggles On The Scoring End On Saturday
James Harden had only seven points in Saturday's postseason loss to Denver. However, he made up for it by amassing 13 assists, two steals, and one block. Although Los Angeles couldn't advance to the Western Conference semi-finals to face Oklahoma City, Harden can look back on another quality year, averaging 22.8 points, 8.7 dimes, and 1.5 steals. He also appeared in 79 games and was named an All-Star for the seventh time of his career. The 35-year-old will next need to decide if he will exercise his $36 million player option heading into the 2025-26 campaign. But one thing is for sure, Harden should see plenty of interest from clubs around the National Basketball Association this summer if he doesn't. Either way, he is expected to remain a top fantasy option, although he may only have a few more productive years left in the tank.

James Harden Good To Go Against Knicks
James Harden (foot) will play in Wednesday's contest against the New York Knicks. The former MVP injured his right foot on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he has shaken off a questionable tag. Harden has been close to averaging a double-double in March, notching 26.2 points and 9.5 assists per game. He will continue to lead the offense against a Knicks team that is weakened in the backcourt due to injuries to Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Miles McBride (groin).

James Harden Listed As Questionable For Wednesday
James Harden (foot) is considered questionable for Wednesday's clash against the New York Knicks. He has appeared on the injury report due to a sore right foot sustained during Sunday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. If Harden is unable to play on Wednesday, it will mark only his fourth absence of the season. Derrick Jones Jr., Bogdan Bogdanovic, or Ben Simmons may replace Harden in the starting lineup. Meanwhile, Norman Powell and Kawhi Leonard would take on larger roles offensively, with Kris Dunn assuming additional playmaking duties.

James Harden Good To Go Against Washington
James Harden (groin) will be able to return to the court after missing the front half of the team's back-to-back on Wednesday. Harden has averaged 21.3 points, 8.1 assists, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game in 33.4 minutes per game this season while leading the team with a 30.9% usage rate. Harden gets a great matchup in his return as the Clippers welcome the Wizards, who have allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season. Kevin Porter Jr. stepped up with 26 points against the Celtics on Wednesday, but he'll likely return to his role as Harden's backup since The Beard will be back for Thursday's contest.
