James Harden News, Rumors, Updates - LA Clippers

In prime form versus Indiana Harden recorded 35 points (12-16 FG, 8-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 151-127 win over the Pacers.

Impact Harden rained in 18 consecutive points in the fourth quarter as part of a dominant shooting display, highlighted by earning a four-point play off his signature step-back three. Scoring volatility from night to night is still justifiable given the amount of weapons in the Clippers offense, but Kawhi Leonard (28 points) and Paul George (27 points) joined him in forming a well-balanced trio in Monday's win. Playing Indiana is a fantasy gold mine, but Harden is becoming a focal point for Los Angeles regardless of the opponent.

Impact Although Harden took a step back after his best game in a Clippers uniform Thursday night, he did enough to post his fourth double-double of the season. The team is starting to hit a rhythm throughout the starting lineup and is on a seven-game tear, due in large part to Harden's improvement.

Impact On a third-quarter layup, Harden became the 24th player in NBA history to reach 25,000 career points, and he figures to crack the top 20 in all-time scoring before the season is out -- Vince Carter currently sits in 20th place with 25,728. Harden's beginning to get comfortable in Los Angeles, and over the last eight games he's averaging 20.0 points, 8.8 assists, 4.9 boards, 3.0 threes, 1.8 steals and 1.0 blocks a night.

Effieicnt total in win Harden finished with 15 points (4-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 119-99 victory over the Kings.

Impact Harden's only demerit was a goose egg beyond the arc, but it was an otherwise decent game directing the offense. With Kawhi Leonard doing most of the heavy lifting recently, Harden has been more valuable as a ball distributor recently, a role he continues to share with Russell Westbrook.

Impact Harden had a solid all-around game and played clutch defense in the closing moments of the game, bouncing back nicely from a subpar 12-point effort against Utah. He also recorded his first dunk as a Clipper in the third quarter and recorded one of his best rebound totals of the season.

James Harden Double-Doubles Over Denver In Win | LA Clippers

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Records double-double in win Harden logged 20 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), one rebound, 11 assists, one block and three steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 victory over Denver.

Impact Harden has been clutch during the Clippers' 3-1 run, and the offense is finally showing signs of synchronization despite the quandary of three stars who need the ball often. While Kawhi Leonard will create unique opportunities, the trio of Harden, Paul George and Russell Westbrook has been a headache to manage for coach Tyronn Lue, who is tasked with turning the explosive talents on his roster into a more cohesive team. Harden's recent run of production has left Westbrook the odd man out in this equation, and he scored only nine points in Wednesday's win.

Another solid night Harden chipped in 18 points (6-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 120-114 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Harden sank a season-high five three-pointers during Wednesday's win over Sacramento and tied that mark Thursday. He also continues to distribute at a high level, notching at least six assists in seven of his last eight appearances, and has recorded at least one steal in seven straight games. Harden isn't as prolific as his days in Houston, but he can still deliver quality fantasy outings consistently, even when sharing the court with Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Russell Westbrook.

Clippers blowout Kings 131-117: Ty Lue said ‘that’s what it should look like’ | Undisputed

Excellent against Sacramento Harden ended Wednesday's 131-117 victory over the Kings with 26 points (8-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and five steals over 39 minutes.

Impact Harden has had a rough start to his Clippers tenure, but this was his best outing of the season by a wide margin after notching season-best marks in points and steals. Harden has yet to post numbers similar to what he's done during most of his career, but maybe this is a sign that he's getting more comfortable on offense, and that would likely lead to an uptick in his numbers sooner rather than later. The consistency he can maintain on a game-to-game basis will be key to seeing whether his numbers improve in the long run or not.

Modest production in loss Harden finished Monday's 113-104 loss to Denver with 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 36 minutes.

Impact Harden was efficient from deep but missed both of his shots from inside the arc. He snapped a two-game streak of scoring in single digits, but he's still shooting just 30.4 percent from the floor over the last three games. The Clippers are 4-7 since acquiring Harden, and he's averaged 14.1 points, 6.2 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 32.6 minutes during that stretch.

Struggles despite 10 assists Harden chipped in eight points (2-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists, one block and four steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 116-106 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Harden's shot was ice-sold in the loss, but the Clippers kept the veteran on the floor for 37 minutes. The team has taken a somewhat stubborn approach in their lineup construction since Harden's arrival, and there's an argument against his efficacy over Russell Westbrook in the point guard role. Westbrook volunteered to take a back seat, but the team seems resistant to slide George over and let the former teammates run the backcourt, utilizing Harden as the off-guard. The 34-year-old vet is not the nightly scoring behemoth he was in year's past, but his fantasy exposure will remain high based on name recognition and upside potential.
