Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden opened the 2023 playoffs with a superb performance in Saturday's Game 1 victory over Brooklyn, scoring 23 points and delivering 13 assists. The Beard had five triples in the first half alone and ended up shooting 7-for-13 from behind the arc. Allen Iverson (8) is the only Sixer in history with more three-point makes in a playoff game. Harden's overall shooting was a bit of a disappointment, with him going just 8-for-21, but Philadelphia coasted through the game and he was a team-best plus-20 for the contest. The former MVP completed his line with four rebounds and one steal.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) has said that he feels "great" ahead of his 14th playoff campaign. The veteran superstar played through an Achilles issue at the end of the regular season and missed six of the team's final 11 games, but he was rested for the final few contests and has had over a week to recharge his batteries and get ready for the postseason. Harden finished the season leading the league in assists with 10.7 dimes, but he took on more of a scorers role in the matchup against the Nets, averaging 26.0 points. Philadelphia hosts Brooklyn in Game 1 Saturday.

Philadelphia 76ers guards James Harden and Tyrese Maxey will both receive a rest night against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. They'll most likely get another rest day for their final game after this as well, but if there are any fantasy managers still in their championship game, then the bench players are calling. Since De'Anthony Melton is doubtful, Shake Milton, Danuel House Jr., and even Furkan Korkmaz could be seeing some extra minutes on the court.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) will play Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Harden has missed the past four games dealing with soreness in his left Achilles, but will make his return to the lineup versus the Mavs. Harden's return should push De'Anthony Melton to the bench where he will likely see a reduced role. It remains to be seen if Harden is limited in anyway, but with the regular season nearing its end, the Sixers will likely take it easy with the veteran guard.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Dallas. The 33-year-old appeared to be in line to return on Monday in Denver after a three-game absence. However, he didn't play. Joel Embiid (calf) also didn't suit up for that one, allowing Tyrese Maxey to finish with a game-high 29 points. If both Embiid and Harden remained sidelined on Wednesday night, Maxey would certainly be a popular DFS option. At the same time, Tobias Harris will also receive extra attention from fantasy managers.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) is on track to suit up for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It appears the veteran guard is ready to get back on the court after missing the last three games due to Achilles soreness. The Sixers can certainly use Harden's help with Joel Embiid (calf) on the sideline for this game. The return of Harden would mean less minutes and value for De'Anthony Melton and Shake Milton. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to tip-off for another update on Harden.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) is questionable versus the Denver Nuggets on Monday. Harden has missed the past three days as he continues to deal with Achilles soreness and may be on his way to a fourth straight absence. De'Anthony Melton should continue to start if Harden is ruled out again. Shake Milton would also continue seeing extra minutes off the bench.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) is questionable for Saturday's road meeting in Phoenix. He's been dealing with left Achilles soreness, recently holding him out of Philly's previous two contests. But considering Harden will be instrumental in a potential deep postseason push, keeping him healthy is the No. 1 priority. Nevertheless, if the former MVP can't suit up, De'Anthony Melton should remain in the starting lineup. The 24-year-old has averaged 11.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 54 starts this season. However, those numbers could increase if Joel Embiid (calf), who is also questionable, doesn't play, either.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) will not play versus the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. Harden has been dealing with ongoing foot soreness which has now be diagnosed as Achilles soreness. With the Sixers likely to finish as a top seed in the East, they will likely be looking to manage Harden's play time moving forward. De'Anthony Melton should get the spot start while Tyrese Maxey should see an increase in usage.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (Achilles) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday game against the Chicago Bulls. Harden was recently held out of a back-to-back game with left foot soreness and is now being listed with Achilles soreness in the same foot. The Sixers have been cruising to a high seed in the Eastern Conference and will likely be resting Harden down the stretch regardless. When Harden last sat out, De'Anthony Melton started and recorded six steals in 34 minutes. If Harden sits again, Melton should get another start while Tyrese Maxey should see a big bump in usage.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Sixers will play it safe and rest Harden. He'll be joined by P.J. Tucker (ankle) on the sideline for Saturday's contest. That being said, De'Anthony Melton and Shake Milton will both have expanded roles with the Sixers shorthanded. Between the two, Melton is the better streaming option for Saturday's slate.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden came away with his fifth triple-double of the season Friday when the team demolished Charlotte 121-82. The Beard had a mighty struggle shooting the basketball, going 4-for-15 from the field and 0-for-6 from deep, but he did just enough to reach triple-double numbers, recording 11 points with 11 rebounds and 10 assists. He also had three steals in 31 minutes on the court. The league's assists leader keeps showing off great playmaking ability and has now notched double-digit assists in six of his last seven appearances. The run includes a 20-assist performance. Harden's shooting was very disappointing on Friday, but he should bounce back in Saturday's matchup versus Indiana if he doesn't get rested.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden continues to be a force in his new role as the main distributor instead of the do-it-all type that he was in Houston.

He added three made shots from deep and went 9-for-12 from the line as well. He still leads the league in assists per game and is one of only four players that are averaging 10 or more assists per contest.

Harden is being listed out with foot soreness, but it is likely a rest day for the veteran guard on the second night of a back-to-back. With Harden out, De'Anthony Melton and Tyrese Maxey should see extra minutes and usage. The Sixers do not play again until Friday night and Harden should be back in action by then.

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (foot) received a questionable tag on Tuesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran floor general is fresh off of a 20-assist game against the Indiana Pacers on Monday, so the questionable status could just be to see if he feels ok enough to play by shootaround. Doc Rivers and the Sixers will want to make sure their superstars are ready when the playoffs roll around. If he doesn't suit up, Shake Milton would likely enter the starting lineup unless Tobias Harris (calf) or P.J. Tucker (back) can actually play.
