James Harden accumulated 29 points (8-of-15 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, eight assists, one steal and six three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Heat.
Harden and the Clippers fought back down the stretch but fell one point short. While the final stat line was good, with Harden making some key shots in crunch time, he was also responsible for six turnovers. As a team, the Clippers committed 16 turnovers in the second half, continuing a problematic trend of being loose with the ball. However, despite Monday’s defeat, Harden remains an excellent player to have rostered in fantasy leagues, even with the turnover issues.
