Houston Rockets Fantasy Spin

James Harden finished Saturday's win over the Jazz one block short of a 5x5, accounting for 43 points (12-of-22 FGs, 15-of-15 FTs), 12 rebounds, five assists, six steals, four blocked shots and four 3-pointers in 40 minutes. Harden extended his streak of games with 30 points or more to 26, breaking a tie with Wilt Chamberlain and moving into third on the all-time list (Chamberlain now has the two longest streaks in NBA history). And in the process, the reigning MVP nearly put up the first 5x5 of his career. Harden and the Rockets return to action Monday in Phoenix, and it's a safe bet that he'll add another game to his impressive streak given the Suns' struggles on the defensive end of the floor.

Phoenix Suns Fantasy Spin

Devin Booker had it going on offense during a 118-112 loss to the Hawks on Saturday, scoring 32 points with eight rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, four turnovers and four 3-pointers in 43 minutes. He had Deandre Ayton back to set some screens and this was one of the best matchups in fantasy hoops. Booker is out of his slump in a big way over his last five, averaging 30.6 points, 4.0 boards, 5.6 dimes, 0.8 steals and 2.2 treys on a 52/39/92 shooting line. He gets four games starting on Monday and will likely help win a lot of matchups this upcoming week.
