Houston Rockets vs. Denver Nuggets: James Harden points, rebounds, assists OVER 46.5 (-143, DraftKings)
Harden is taking a lot of heat for essentially doing everything he can to find his way out of Houston. The Rockets have also had a game canceled due to a COVID situation that didn’t involve Harden. Lost in the mix is that Houston played its first game on Saturday night, and players like John Wall, Eric Gordon and DeMarcus Cousins didn’t play. They are still quarantined and ruled out, leaving Harden in as massive a usage role as we’ve ever seen.
Harden dropped 44 points, 17 assists and four rebounds on the Blazers in 43 minutes, and there’s no reason that role should change on Monday in Denver. Some books have this three-way prop in the 49-50 range, so despite laying some extra juice, DraftKings is offering a tremendous value at 46.5. Until the Rockets get the other three starters back on the roster, this is a prop to ride.
