James Harden Records Double-Double Amidst Rough Shooting
3 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers point/shooting guard James Harden continued to set his teammates up in Thursday's defeat to Toronto, notching 15 assists, but he shot just 3-for-12 overall across 39 minutes. Harden has shot 31.7% overall across his last five outings, four of which have seen him compile 18 points or fewer. He has managed to record a double-double in four consecutive outings, but his low shooting percentage and turnovers have torpedoed much of that statistical production. Harden will look to find his rhythm Saturday against the Pacers, who have yielded the second-highest opponents' shooting percentage (48%) this season, as well as the third-worst defensive efficiency, which bodes well for fantasy managers banking on the three-time scoring champ.
