James Harden turns in season-high 40 points, Rockets win
Houston Rockets guard/forward James Harden scored 40 points (9-of-20 field goals, 8-of-18 3-pointers, 14-of-14 free throws) with 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 9 turnovers in 38.0 minutes of a 115-103 win over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.
What It Means:
The points and triples are both season-highs and a nice bounce-back performance after Harden went just 1-for-13 from beyond the arc on Saturday. His numbers are down slightly from last year's MVP campaign, but this could be a sign of things to come. The Rockets visit the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.
Harden finished with 58.9 FanDuel points on Sunday. He's averaging 49.6 FanDuel points through nine games.
