James Harden ties career high 61 points on FridayMarch 23, 2019 | 11:02 AM

James Harden scored 61 points in a win over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night in Houston, while adding seven rebounds, three steals and one assist. Writer's Analysis: Harden simply put the Rockets on his back in this one, refusing to allow the Spurs the win after they roared back to tie it up after three quarters. He has now scored 61 and 57 points in his last two games and next up are the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night. Chasing points is never a good strategy in DFS, but fading Harden vs the third fastest team in terms of pace of play, that also happens to be towards the bottom of the league defensively vs the SG position is a risky proposition in GPPs, even at what is sure to be an astronomical salary.
