James Harden Scores 31 Points Despite Struggles From Field
7 years agoHouston Rockets shooting guard James Harden scored 31 points in Houston's win over Minnesota on Friday, but that was thanks in large part to an excellent night from the free throw line, where Harden went 12-for-12. His field goal shooting was a different story, with the MVP candidate shooting just 8-for-24 from the field and 3-for-10 from behind the three-point line. He did add nine assists and Houston did get the win, so it wasn't a bad night for Harden, who is able to be a productive player even when his shot isn't falling. Houston plays Denver on Sunday, a team that has been strong lately against shooting guards, but Harden is too good of a player to ever not be in fantasy lineups.
