3 years agoBrooklyn Nets point guard James Harden has been given the green light to take the floor for the Christmas Day matchup against the Lakers. Harden missed each of Brooklyn's previous four outings while in the league's health and safety protocols, which zapped the roster of many of its familiar faces. The former MVP returns at a time in which his fantasy upside should be enormous, as Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving (health and safety protocols) remain out of the mix. Harden has shot just 40.4 percent from the field this season -- his lowest mark since his rookie year -- but he sits just shy of averaging a double-double at 20.8 points and 9.6 assists per outing.--Jesse Borek
