James Harden, PG/SG, Houston Rockets

DraftKings Price: $10,700

You can't really go wrong with either James Harden or Kevin Durant as a lineup staple tonight when the Houston Rockets host the Golden State Warriors in the Toyota Center. Durant has the luxury of once again playing without Stephen Curry, and his usage jumps from 26.9% to 37.2% this season when Curry is off the floor.

Despite that huge discrepancy (again, Durant is also a solid play in this game), we're focusing on Harden tonight. After a five-game stretch in which he scored 50 DraftKings points or fewer, the Rockets guard has bounced back in the past two games in wins over the Indiana Pacers and Denver Nuggets.

The Rockets need him playing at his best. Due largely to injuries, they've thrown out an eight-man rotation in each of their past two games. Harden has played at least 37 minutes in each of his past 4 games and could push 40 tonight in a game that's expected to be very close.

We have Harden projected for 28.5 points, 7.7 assists, 5.8 rebounds, and 52.2 DraftKings points, the highest-projected total on the slate.
