Philadelphia rules out James Harden (Achilles) for Monday night

The Philadelphia 76ers have ruled out James Harden (Achilles) for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

What It Means:

It was initially believed that Harden would be able to return for tonight's game against the Nuggets, but the team will be cautious with the veteran as the regular season draws to a close. Adrian Wojanrowski reports that Harden is now targeting a return later in the week.

Harden's absence should lock in solid minutes for De'Anthony Melton, who has a $6,500 salary on FanDuel. Our models project him for 19.4 fantasy points against the Nuggets.
