Logs 38 minutes in return Monday Harden (foot) logged 21 points (4-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 132-123 double-overtime loss to the Rockets.

Impact Harden was back in action after a month-long absence due to a right foot tendon strain, ending with a strong fantasy line despite poor efficiency. Some rust was to be expected given the length of his layoff, though fantasy managers were probably hoping that he would convert at better than a 4-for-19 mark from the field. Poor shooting aside, the fact he played 38 minutes in his first game back points to him being fully recovered from his recent injury. Barring any setbacks, managers should feel comfortable getting Harden back in their lineups if they already haven't.
