James Harden Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is considered questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the New York Knicks. He may miss a second straight game due to a sore right shoulder. Harden's absence on Monday night versus the Golden State Warriors gave Kobe Sanders his fourth start of the season, and the 23-year-old rookie had the best outing of his young career. Across 36 minutes, Sanders notched 20 points, seven rebounds, and three assists, shooting 9-for-16 from the field. If Harden remains out on Wednesday, Sanders will likely remain in the first unit. Meanwhile, Kawhi Leonard and Kris Dunn are expected to have larger offensive roles.

According to Law Murray of The Athletic, Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors due to right-shoulder soreness. As a late addition to the Clippers' injury report, the 36-year-old will likely sit out during tonight's tilt. If Harden is unable to suit up, Kris Dunn will likely take primary ball-handling duties this evening. Dunn, in his last outing, finished with 10 points, six assists, and four rebounds across 30 minutes on Saturday against the Celtics.

The veteran superstar sat out Thursday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a left calf contusion. Harden has been fairly quiet this month and settled for only 13 points and six assists in his last outing against the Memphis Grizzlies. Bogdan Bogdanovic will likely return to the bench on Saturday night and won't have a significant offensive role.

The former MVP played through a calf issue and struggled on Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Now, he is taking a full game off to get some additional recovery time. Bogdan Bogdanovic appears to be the likeliest candidate to take Harden's spot in the first unit, while players like Kris Dunn, Kobe Sanders, and Jordan Miller may also benefit from his absence. These players could have additional fantasy value for multiple games, as Harden is also considered uncertain for Saturday's tilt against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (calf) will play on Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports. Some confusion arose about Harden's status when he was labeled a game-time decision, despite Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue seemingly confirming his availability during his pre-game press conference with reporters. Harden has struggled to score in meetings with Memphis this season, managing just 20.5 points per game on 38.7 percent shooting. However, he has notched one of his eight double-doubles against the Grizzlies, averaging 9.0 assists per contest in the matchup.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (calf) may not be available after all on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue reportedly misspoke when he said Harden would definitely play against Memphis. According to Janis Carr of The Orange County Register, the former MVP is actually considered a game-time decision. If Harden is unavailable, Kris Dunn and Bogdan Bogdanovic are likely to take on larger roles.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (calf) will suit up on Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Due to a calf contusion, the former MVP was in danger of missing his second game of the season. However, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue has confirmed that Harden will play. Recently, Harden dropped 34 points on the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he has been sluggish overall this month. In five December outings, Harden has posted 22.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 6.4 assists, and 2.0 steals per game. The veteran superstar met the Grizzlies only a couple of weeks ago, settling for 16 points in 36 minutes and handing out seven assists.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (calf) is questionable for Monday's matchup with Memphis after seeing consistent heavy minutes of late. Harden logged 22 points, three rebounds, seven assists, and three steals in 40 minutes last time out and is averaging 22.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 6.4 assists across his last five. Any limitation would funnel more creation to Kawhi Leonard, while Kris Dunn and Bogdan Bogdanovic pick up secondary handling. Harden remains a clear hold, with the current workload creating short-term risk.

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (personal) won't be in the lineup for Thursday's tilt against the Phoenix Suns. The former MVP has been ruled out for the contest for personal reasons. This will be Harden's first absence of what has been a highly productive season, where he has averaged 23.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 8.6 assists. Harden ranks among the top three in all these categories on the Clippers squad. Kris Dunn and Chris Paul will likely see increased playing time due to Harden's absence. Additionally, with Kawhi Leonard (ankle) also ruled out for the game, there will be more scoring opportunities for the rest of the team.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden declined his player option. Instead, both sides agreed to a new two-year, $81.5 million contract. The 35-year-old is likely nearing the end of his career. Yet, he's still productive, most recently averaging 22.8 points, 7.2 assists, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 79 games last season. He also remains one of the most durable players in the National Basketball Association, logging 151 games over the last two seasons. Harden should remain a top fantasy option for at least a few more seasons, assuming he continues to stay off the injury report.
