Harden closed with 24 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 10-10 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 118-95 win over Dallas.
Even though Norman Powell led the Clippers in scoring once again, Harden made his presence felt as a facilitator while also chipping in with at least two tallies in five of the six major categories. Harden has had some scoring exploits from time to time, but even if he doesn't rely solely on his scoring prowess to provide fantasy value, he remains a key component of the Clippers' offensive scheme. Harden has surpassed the 20-point mark in six of his last eight appearances.
