Clippers' James Harden: Drops 22 in Friday's win
James Harden ended with 22 points (5-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 107-98 victory over the Kings.The veteran guard continues to struggle with his shot, but his increased usage in the absence of Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George has kept his all-around production high. Through nine games to begin the season, Harden is averaging 20.9 points a contest while shooting just 36.9 percent from the floor and 30.1 percent from three-point range, but that comes with 9.2 assists, 7.7 boards and 2.4 threes a game. Harden's 2.9 combined steals plus blocks a game would also be a career high.

Clippers' James Harden: Struggles with shot in win
James Harden amassed 18 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 win over the 76ers.Harden's scoring totals are largely dependent on success beyond the arc. He only converted one of his six shot attempts from deep during the win, which is a concerning trend. After a hot start, Harden's three-point conversion rate has dropped to 28.4 percent, which is well below his seasonal averages. His assist totals are still solid, aiding Harden's bottom line as a fantasy target.

Clippers' James Harden: Fills stat sheet Saturday

Clippers' James Harden: Carries load with triple-double
James Harden chipped in 25 points (8-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks and two steals across 36 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 loss to Phoenix.The Los Angeles Clippers are still searching for their first win in the Intuit Dome, but Harden is doing all he can to make it happen. His red-hot start is reminiscent of his days with the Rockets, as he's shooting with abandon and distributing the ball efficiently. Turnovers have been a bit of an issue for him, as he's averaged 6.2 cough-ups over five games. Some of his six turnovers in Thursday's loss occurred at pivotal moments when the Clippers could have captured some momentum. The entire team has been careless with the ball, and empty possessions kept them from sealing the deal in the second half.

Clippers' James Harden: Posts 19/10 double-double in loss
James Harden totaled 19 points (6-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 106-105 loss to the Trail Blazers.Harden's five three-pointers represented most of his scoring output, and he led the team in assists. Wednesday marked Harden's third consecutive double-digit assist result, and the category should serve as a nice addition to his fantasy totals throughout the season. Harden isn't getting any younger, but Kawhi Leonard's (shoulder) absence and the loss of Paul George is yielding great results as he carries a heavier load.

Clippers' James Harden: Comes close to triple-double
James Harden registered 23 points (6-19 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 9-9 FT), seven rebounds and 11 assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 victory over the Warriors.Harden finished just three rebounds shy of recording his first triple-double of the season, and the veteran floor general continues to thrive in what has been a better-than-expected start to the campaign for him. Harden is benefiting from the absence of Kawhi Leonard (knee) to experience an uptick in usage rate, and this has led him to record 20-plus points and 10-plus assists in his last two appearances. It's only three games, but his averages of 25.0 points, 11.7 assists and 8.3 rebounds per game are encouraging.

Clippers' James Harden: Hands out 16 assists Saturday
James Harden posted 23 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 12-13 FT), six rebounds, 16 assists, a steal and a block across 38 minutes in Saturday's 109-104 win over the Nuggets.Harden dished out most of his assists to Ivica Zubac and Norman Powell, who finished with 24 and 37 points, respectively. Harden struggled with his shot from beyond the arc, but he still found a way to score consistently and recorded nearly half of his points from the charity stripe. Harden is thriving both as a scorer and playmaker for the Los Angeles Clippers, and his fantasy upside will remain extremely high due to an expected uptick in his already-high usage rate with Kawhi Leonard (knee) out.

Clippers' James Harden: Misses free throws to seal defeat

Granted, the Los Angeles Clippers would have had no shot in this game without Harden's stellar line, which came two assists short of a triple-double. With Paul George in Philly and Kawhi Leonard (shoulder) out indefinitely, Harden will be under constant pressure to keep his team relevant as they try to make up for the conspicuous gaps in production.
