Rockets' James Harden: Decimates Kings on Sunday

Harden totaled 35 points (9-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 12-13 FT), 15 assists, 11 rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 135-128 victory over the Kings.

Analysis:

It's the league-leading 63rd double-double of the season and his 21st triple-double, trailing only the Thunder's Russell Westbrook in that category. Though the Rockets are already locked into the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, Harden has acknowledged that he doesn't plan on resting over the team's final two games, so he could make for an even stronger season-long and DFS option than normal with many of the league's top stars seeing more limited run down the stretch as the playoffs approach. Harden has been magnificent through his first three appearances in April, averaging 33.0 points (on 40.9% shooting), 12.3 assists, 9.0 rebounds, 5.3 three-pointers and 1.3 blocks in 37.3 minutes per game.
