Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will sit out a second consecutive game on Friday against New Orleans. The former MVP has sustained a left shoulder strain, relinquishing his starter's spot to Bones Hyland. Hyland produced a nice 17-point, 11-assist double-double on Thursday versus Chicago, adding five rebounds and four steals. He should be a good streaming option again on Friday, although it's going to be a much more difficult matchup.

Fri Mar 1515:11James Harden Questionable Friday Against Pelicans
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) has received another questionable tag for their Friday night matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The former MVP was forced to miss the first half of their back-to-back on Thursday with a shoulder strain and he may be forced to miss a second consecutive contest. Since Russell Westbrook (hand) is also out, Terance Mann and Bones Hyland both joined the starting five against the Chicago Bulls. Hyland put together a double-double with 17 points and 11 assists while Mann couldn't find much of a shooting rhythm. If Harden has to miss another game, both Hyland and Mann can serve as solid streaming options.

Thu Mar 1418:40James Harden Ruled Out On Thursday
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) won't play on Thursday against the Bulls. He's been dealing with a shoulder strain for the last few games but has played through it. However, there's been talk of lightening his workload heading toward the postseason, so he'll finally get the night off. Fortunately for the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard (back) is active. Bones Hyland will also move into the starting lineup, making him an attractive streaming option in all fantasy setups. Hyland will also see plenty of attention in DFS contests.

Wed Mar 1320:08James Harden Uncertain For Thursday Night
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) is questionable ahead of Thursday's game in Chicago. Harden has routinely appeared on the injury report of late because of a left shoulder strain. However, it hasn't kept him off the floor. There has been chatter about lightening his workload to keep him healthy for a deep postseason push, so he might sit this one out, especially since the Clippers will travel to New Orleans for a Friday night battle with the Pelicans. That said, if Harden gets the night off, Amir Coffey and Bones Hyland could earn more minutes, although neither player can be trusted for fantasy production.

Sun Mar 1013:57James Harden Cleared To Meet Milwaukee
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will play on Sunday versus the Bucks. The 34-year-old has been burdened by a strained shoulder, although he's managed to suit up despite carrying injury designations. Harden had 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls. Although his days as a consistent triple-double threat are over, he could have another strong fantasy showing on Sunday, considering Paul George (knee) and Kawhi Leonard (groin) aren't available.

Sat Mar 915:42James Harden Active On Saturday
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) will play on Saturday versus Chicago. He carried a questionable designation heading into this one because of a strained left shoulder. But the injury won't be enough to keep him out of the lineup versus the Bulls. The 34-year-old has averaged 17.7 points, 8.3 assists, and 5.1 boards this season, down from the 2022-23 campaign. However, he's still a reliable fantasy option, even though his MVP days are over. Fantasy managers need to make sure he's in their fantasy lineups. Yet, DFS participants should think twice, especially since the Clippers' starting unit could see fewer minutes than usual in preparation for Sunday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Sat Mar 900:19James Harden Questionable Saturday Versus Chicago
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (shoulder) for Saturday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls may not suit up due to a left shoulder injury. This new injury poses a challenge for Harden, though it's anticipated to be a day-to-day concern.

Further updates on the condition of these key players are anticipated as game time approaches.

Sun Feb 1821:22Clippers Expected To Re-Sign James Harden, Paul George In Offseason
Los Angeles Clippers guards James Harden and Paul George are both looking for a new contract this coming summer and it seems that the team will be doing their best to keep them around. According to Howard Beck of The Ringer, after the Clippers invested $2 billion into a new arena, they'll be trying to keep around their core regardless of their postseason success this year. Harden and George play a huge part in keeping the Clippers relevant, and they already signed Kawhi Leonard to a new contract as well. So, while other superstars are expected to test the market, the Clippers should look pretty similar to how the roster has shaken out so far.

Tue Dec 19 202309:37James Harden Catches Fire Against Indiana
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden had a vintage performance against the Indiana Pacers on Monday, hitting 8-for-11 from deep for a 35-point effort in a 151-127 win. He finished 12-for-16 overall from the field and ended up just one assist short of a third consecutive double-double despite logging only 28 minutes in a blowout win. This was Harden's first 30-point game as a Clippers. Following some serious growing pains in the first couple of weeks since his arrival, the Clippers have figured things out and will head into the next matchup with an eight-game winning streak. Harden has played a large part in the success, averaging 20.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 1.3 steals during the run.

Mon Nov 6 202322:51James Harden Logs 31 Minutes In Debut
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden finished with 17 points and six rebounds in Monday's loss to the Knicks. The multi-time All-Star logged 31 minutes, going 6-for-9 from the field and 2-for-4 from behind the arc. Unfortunately for Los Angeles, his debut was spoiled by Julius Randle and RJ Barrett, with the duo combining for 53 points. At any rate, Harden played better than most had expected, and his workload suggested he is in better shape than some had reported over the last few weeks. Of course, it will take time for the 34-year-old to build a rapport with his new squad. At the same time, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook will need to adapt, meaning the foursome could see a temporary dip in production, although things should improve moving ahead.

Mon Nov 6 202318:54James Harden On Minutes Restriction In Clippers Debut
New Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (conditioning) is expected to have a minutes restriction in his Clipper debut against the Knicks on Monday, as confirmed by coach Ty Lue. The former MVP will be in the starting lineup but is unlikely to shoulder a heavy workload as the team focuses on getting him up to speed after his unique offseason. Given his history of heavy usage throughout his career, the 34-year-old is anticipated to play an impactful role on the talented Clippers team. While his scoring may not reach the levels of his Houston Rockets days, Harden has consistently adapted to his situation and remained a valuable asset in fantasy basketball.

Sun Nov 5 202322:23James Harden Set To Make Clippers Debut On Monday
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden will reportedly make his debut with the team on Monday. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, he'll join the starting five with Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and Ivica Zubac as well. The former MVP has yet to play a game this season, so it will be his first game of the year as well. Last year with the 76ers, Harden averaged 21.0 points, 10.7 assists, 6.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals, and 2.8 threes per game. He's been an elite fantasy option for many years running but it remains to be seen if he can continue that type of output with the firepower that the Clippers possess.

Sat Nov 4 202315:45James Harden Could Face Minutes' Restriction
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is close to debuting with his new team. However, according to head coach Ty Lue, the multi-time MVP's minutes could be monitored, at least until the medical staff is confident he can handle more. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Lue added the minutes' restriction wouldn't be "crazy." There are so many variables to consider regarding Harden's fantasy outlook for the 2023-24 campaign. He'll likely split ball-handling duties with Russell Westbrook. Harden will also battle for scoring chances with Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George. Still, that won't be enough of a reason to keep the veteran out of any fantasy lineup, although he could be less productive than usual, especially while he gets acclimated with his new club.

Wed Nov 1 202315:37No Clippers Debut For James Harden Against Lakers
Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden (not injury related) will not make his team debut in Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. We'll have to wait a bit longer for Harden's highly-anticipated first showing in his new digs, and he's not dealing with any type of injury. The Clippers are out of action until Monday against the New York Knicks, so that meeting marks the 34-year-old three-time scoring champion's next possibility to appear on the hardwood for the first time in 2023-24. It would be reasonable to pencil Harden in as closer to probable for that one with Shams Charania calling it the "target". Spark-plug Bones Hyland should get another crack in head coach Tyronn Lue's starting backcourt alongside Russell Westbrook, while sixth man Norman Powell sees more minutes off the bench in Wednesday's "Battle of L.A."

Tue Oct 31 202309:45James Harden Traded To Clippers
Former MVP James Harden finally got his wish late on Monday night, with the Philadelphia 76ers agreeing to trade him to the Los Angeles Clippers. The deal also sees P.J. Tucker and Filip Petrusev moving to Los Angeles, with Marcus Morris Sr., Robert Covington, Nicolas Batum, and Kenyon Martin Jr. going the other way. Philadelphia also received a 2028 unprotected first-round pick, two second-round picks, a 2029 pick swap, and an additional first-round pick that will be routed from a third team. Harden joins a star-studded lineup in L.A. and will definitely need some time for adjustment, considering his playing style. It's currently unknown when he will be available to make his Clippers debut, but fantasy managers who took a shot at him during draft time must be pleased that the bearded man will finally get on the court soon.

Sun Oct 29 202315:16James Harden Remains Out On Sunday Night
Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden won't play on Sunday against Portland, as expected. Philly has the veteran listed as out due to conditioning reasons. However, there's a real chance he's already played his final game with the 76ers. That said, De'Anthony Melton should remain in the starting lineup. But Tyrese Maxey has benefitted greatly without Harden on the floor, considering he's averaging 32.5 points this season, by far the highest-scoring output of his career.

Thu Oct 26 202318:12James Harden Not Joining Team On Road Trip
Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (personal), who has been ruled out for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Milwaukee Bucks, will not play in Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors, either. It's your daily dose of Harden-related drama, with this episode now seeing Philadelphia want the 34-year-old to stay behind and follow their ramp-up process. If the Sixers were so adamant about denying Harden access to the team's travels, it's hard to envision a scenario where Harden is active for Sunday's home opener versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Though that's just speculation, it's a testament to just how messy this situation has become. All fantasy managers can do is hang tight and consider rostering De'Anthony Melton and/or Kelly Oubre Jr. as streaming options in the meantime.

Wed Oct 25 202315:13James Harden Out Thursday, Not Traveling With Team
Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (personal) is not suiting up for Thursday's regular-season opener against the Milwaukee Bucks. After being away from the team throughout the preseason's final stages, Harden returned to the Sixers' practice facility Wednesday and "is set restart his ramp-up process". The Athletic's Sham Charania also reports that the disgruntled 34-year-old All-Star has been asked to not travel with the squad ahead of their two-game road trip. With that said, Harden also appears unlikely to play in Saturday's meeting in Toronto with the Raptors. To no one's surprise, the drama continues to rage on between both sides here. Harden's next real chance to make his 2023-24 debut seems to be at Sunday's home opener. The 10-time All-Star's usage should be dispersed around Philly's lineup for however long he is absent, with De'Anthony Melton likely being a must-roster fantasy player.
