James Harden's Streak Comes To An End On Monday
James Harden had his 30-plus point game streak come to an end on Monday as the superstar managed to score just 28 points in the win over the Hawks. Harden struggled throughout the night as he managed to connect on just 7-for-21 shooting, but did make 14 of 16 shots at the line with four assists and five rebounds while adding a steal and committing six turnovers on the night. Harden failed to make a three for the first time this season (0-for-10) and the rough night could be due to the neck issue that had the Beard sit out a game over the weekend. He seems to still be in pain after some remarks he made post game, so keep an eye on his status for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets.

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.

James Harden Ruled Out For Wednesday
James Harden (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. Harden will now miss his third game of the season and the front end of this back-to-back set. Hopefully, Harden will be feeling good enough to suit up for Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. The Clippers are going to be extremely shorthanded for this game. That means, Kevin Porter Jr., Bones Hyland, and Terance Mann should all see bigger roles in the rotation. Between the three, Porter is the best and most consistent streaming choice of them.
