5 years agoHouston Rockets guard James Harden had a season-high 40 points in a 116-112 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. His final stat line was 40 points, seven assists, three rebounds, one block and one steal, and that will be a welcome sight for fantasy owners that took him in the first five picks of their drafts this year. The Beard did shoot terribly for the third straight game to open this season, going 8-for-21 from the field and 3-for-14 from behind the arc. Owners shouldn't worry, though, as Harden's early-season shooting woes haven't affected him at the free-throw line, where he was an incredible 21-for-22. A three-game road trip against Washington, Brooklyn and Miami will hopefully be the remedy Harden needs to get the ball to start falling in the basket again.--Euan Leith
