Set to play Monday Harden said following Sunday's 93-88 loss to the Raptors that he intends to play Monday against the Heat, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Impact Head coach Doc Rivers recently teased the idea of both Harden and Joel Embiid getting a game off in the near future, but for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday, only Embiid (back) will sit out for rest purposes. Harden, meanwhile, doesn't appear on the NBA's official injury report, suggesting he's in line to fill his normal role in the Philadelphia backcourt. He played 38 minutes in Sunday's loss, finishing with 17 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals.
