• Clippers' James Harden: Poor shooting display Friday

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Harden finished Friday's 120-98 loss to the Nuggets with 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals over 31 minutes. Harden returned from a one-game absence Friday, but he struggled with his shot once again. It's been only two games, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned with the slight regression he's experiencing, but Harden is averaging 20.5 points per game while shooting a meager 35.4 percent from the floor since the beginning of December. Those numbers would be even more concerning if we remove the 39-point effort he notched in the Dec. 1 win over the Nuggets. Harden's role as the Clippers' go-to option on offense won't change anytime soon, but his lack of efficiency and subpar shooting percentages are slightly concerning, particularly in category-based formats.

• Clippers' James Harden: Questionable to play Sunday

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Harden is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to right groin soreness, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports. Harden is coming off his worst outing of the 2024-25 season, notching five points, three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes. It's unclear if this injury was related to this marked drop in performance compared to recent games, but the Clippers aren't expected to take too many risks with their star guard since they're already missing Kawhi Leonard (knee). If Harden is out, then Norman Powell would probably have an even bigger role on offense, while Kevin Porter, Bones Hyland and Amir Coffey are all expected to see more minutes.
