James Harden had 23 points (7-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, eight assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Kings.
Harden commended his new teammates for how together, connected and unselfish they are, saying he’s just happy to be there. The 36-year-old point guard played his role just fine Saturday. Harden took a back seat to Donovan Mitchell when it came to scoring, but he was able to dish out eight assists in the flow of the offense and also made 5-of-8 from behind the three-point line. His fantasy value figures to remain pretty high in Cleveland.
