James Harden Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden holds a $42.3 million player option on his contract for the 2026-27 season and wants to stay with the team, ESPN's Jamal Collier reports. "Definitely want to be here," Harden said after Monday's season-ending 130-93 loss to the New York Knicks. "I think we found something. It's tough. It's not ending how we wanted to, but I think we found something." Harden had a disappointing outing on Monday night, finishing with 12 points on a 2-for-8 effort from the field. But he showed strong play overall after arriving midseason from the Los Angeles Clippers, averaging 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 7.7 assists. The former MVP formed an excellent backcourt partnership with Donovan Mitchell. Cleveland went 16-6 with Harden and Mitchell in the lineup, and the team's 122.1 offensive efficiency with the two on the floor would have ranked first in the NBA over a full season.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden tallied 18 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three three-pointers in Thursday's 109-93 Game 2 loss to the New York Knicks. The 36-year-old shot 6-for-15 from the field and 3-for-3 at the line, but his low assist total was a problem on a night when Cleveland's offense stalled badly. The Cavaliers shot only 38.8 percent overall and 9-for-35 from three-point range, falling into a 2-0 series hole. Harden can still supply scoring and steals, but Cleveland needs more playmaking from him in Game 3.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden had a tough time on the floor in Tuesday's 114-105 Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks. His offensive contribution was limited to 15 points and three assists with a 5-for-16 record from the field. The Knicks also exploited Harden on defense late in the game, with Jalen Brunson leading his team to the largest playoff comeback in franchise history. Harden, who went 1-for-8 with the three-ball, completed his line with four rebounds, one steal, one block, and six turnovers. While the biggest talking point after Game 1 is Harden's defense, he has also been off his game offensively, scoring just 24 points with a 7-for-26 effort from the field across the last two games.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden led his team to a 117-113 overtime victory in Game 5 against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. He scored a team-high 30 points with an 8-for-21 effort from the field, adding eight rebounds, six assists, one steal, and three blocks. Harden was 3-for-10 from downtown and 11-for-14 at the charity stripe. The former MVP struggled with efficiency and committed six turnovers, but he made a big mark in the contest. It was only his third 30-point game as a Cavalier. Cleveland has come back from a 2-0 series deficit and can advance to the Conference Finals on Friday night. Harden is averaging 21.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 1.4 steals in the series.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden logged his 40th postseason double-double in Monday's 113-103 victory over the Detroit Pistons, scoring 24 points and handing out 11 assists. He also made a significant impact defensively, recording three steals and one block. Harden notched 15 of his points in the first half. The former MVP let Donovan Mitchell take over the offense after the break -- Mitchell tied an all-time postseason record with 39 second-half points. While Harden posted a strong line, he went only 5-for-14 from the field, missing all five two-point attempts. The Pistons have disrupted Harden's offensive rhythm, limiting him to a 39.3 field-goal percentage. Still, Harden has made big plays in recent games and remains vital to Cleveland's success.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden scored seven points in the final 1:29 of action in Saturday's Game 3 against the Detroit Pistons, helping his team to a 116-109 win. The former MVP was quiet for most of the game but made up for it with key baskets down the stretch. He had 19 points overall, finishing 8-for-14 from the field, including 3-for-7 from behind the arc. Harden grabbed two rebounds, dished out seven assists, and picked up one steal. With this effort, he became only the fourth player in NBA playoff history to record at least 4,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, and 1,000 assists. Throughout the postseason, Harden's performance has been inconsistent, but he will now carry positive momentum into Monday's Game 4.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden finished with 10 points, six rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's Game 2 loss to Detroit. He shot just 3-for-13 from the field, missed all four three-point attempts, and committed four turnovers as Cleveland fell into a 2-0 series hole. Harden's low assist total also hurt his DFS value, especially with his scoring efficiency slipping. Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen carried more of the offense, but Cleveland needs Harden to rediscover his rhythm in Game 3.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden recorded 22 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block in Tuesday's Game 1 loss to the Detroit Pistons. The former MVP came alive late in the game, scoring 13 points in the fourth quarter. His efforts helped Cleveland tie the game with five minutes to go, but Kenny Atkinson's team ran out of gas, losing 111-101. Although Harden produced a full line, he was once again careless with the ball, committing seven turnovers. His field-goal efficiency also left a lot to be desired, as Harden went 6-for-15 from the field, including 1-for-7 from three-point range. He was a perfect 9-for-9 at the free-throw line. Harden averages 5.4 turnovers per game this postseason and must improve his ball-handling to make himself more impactful on the offensive end.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden posted 23 points, nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block in Wednesday's 125-120 Game 5 victory over the Toronto Raptors. The former MVP made half of his eight three-point attempts and finished 7-for-13 overall from the field. On the downside, Harden was responsible for six of Cleveland's 14 turnovers, yet he was the team's only starter with a positive plus/minus, finishing with a plus-10 in 40 minutes. Harden has struggled to handle the ball throughout the series, recording 6.0 turnovers per game. However, he's done a great job overall, averaging 22.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 2.0 steals, while shooting close to 50 percent. He's gone 41.0 percent from deep on nearly eight attempts per game.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden (personal) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. The team hasn't included him on the injury report. Harden was unavailable on Monday against Memphis due to personal reasons. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) also out, Dennis Schroder led the offense with 22 points and 11 assists. Schroder's fantasy value drops significantly with Harden's return. Cleveland might also have Mitchell back on Wednesday, as he's listed as questionable. Since joining the Cavaliers, Harden has been a more efficient scorer, but his overall offensive numbers have dropped. The veteran star has averaged 20.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 7.9 assists in 34.2 minutes per game.
