James Harden helps Rockets beat Nuggets with 22 points, 11 assists
Houston Rockets guard/forward James Harden scored 22 points (7-of-16 field goals, 2-of-10 3-pointers, 6-of-8 free throws) with 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 4 turnovers in 36.8 minutes of a 109-99 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday.
Harden scored 19 in the second half after a slow start to give the Rockets a second straight win. Speaking of slow starts, Houston has won five of their last seven games. They will look to keep it going versus the suddenly dysfunctional Golden State Warriors on Thursday.
Harden scored 52.5 FanDuel points (FP) on Tuesday. He's scored over 50.0 FP in back-to-back games after failing to hit that mark in his previous five outings.
