James Harden notched a team-high 22 points (5-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 10-10 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 104-88 win over Sacramento.The 35-year-old guard came through with at least 20 points for the fourth time in the last five games, and he's pulled down at least six boards in eight straight contests while draining multiple threes in nine straight.

Clippers' James Harden: Scores team-high 24 points
James Harden accumulated 24 points (5-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-12 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 104-93 victory over the Magic.Harden continued his role as the Los Angeles Clippers top offensive weapon in a convincing home win, although Wednesday's game was a slight regression compared to his most recent totals. Despite key injuries hindering the squad, Harden is getting enough production from his supporting cast to reach a 9-7 record, which is a much better result than many expected given the departure of Paul George and the continuing injury struggles for Kawhi Leonard (knee).

Clippers' James Harden: Hands out 16 assists Monday
James Harden finished Monday's 102-99 win over the Warriors with 12 points (4-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, 16 assists, two blocks and two steals across 41 minutes.Harden matched his season-high mark in the assists department and now has nine double-doubles, along with one triple-double, as the Los Angeles Clippers' main offensive option. Despite his strong all-around numbers, fantasy managers who are rostering Harden should begin to be concerned with his lack of efficiency. Once one of the best shooters in the league, he's now shooting just 37.5 percent from the floor, including 33.3 percent from deep, since the beginning of November.

Clippers' James Harden: Continues solid stretch of play
James Harden closed Wednesday's 111-103 loss to the Rockets with 19 points (6-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 31 minutes.Harden has been playing at a high level this season despite not being the Los Angeles Clippers' go-to option as a scorer, and his numbers have been excellent overall. He's been particularly good for standard formats, as managers who roster him in category-based formats have been suffering a bit with his lack of efficiency. Harden is shooting 35.6 percent from the field, 34.7 percent from three and 85.1 percent from the charity stripe since the beginning of November, but his overall stat line of 18.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 6.9 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in that stretch compensates for the lack of efficiency.

Harden has stuffed the stat sheet through 11 regular-season appearances, during which he has averaged 20.8 points, 9.0 assists, 8.4 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks across 35.1 minutes per game.

His shot wasn't really falling Saturday, and he got 50 percent of his scoring output from the charity stripe, but Harden was dominant on both ends of the court and finished just three assists away from a triple-double. The veteran is averaging 18.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists per game in five November appearances.

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.
