Clippers' James Harden: Another double-double in OT loss
Rotowire
Harden closed with 32 points (11-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 43 minutes during Saturday's 112-110 overtime loss to Denver in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The future Hall of Famer forced overtime with a floater in the lane on the Clippers' final possession of the fourth quarter, but Harden's game-high 32 points ended up being just not quite enough. The 35-year-old has recorded a double-double or better in six straight appearances, averaging 29.8 points, 11.2 assists, 7.2 boards, 3.3 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch as he attempts to advance past the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2017-18.
Clippers' James Harden: Big double-double in overtime win
Rotowire
Harden had 39 points (13-23 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals in 48 minutes during Sunday's 124-119 overtime win over the Warriors.
It was the 12th game of the season with at least 30 points for Harden, who helped the Clippers clinch a playoff berth Sunday with a big double-double. The All-Star guard is rolling ahead of the postseason, posting averages of 24.6 points, 8.7 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 2.8 three-pointers in 36.6 minutes while shooting 49.4 percent from the floor over his last 11 games.
Harden finished with 23 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals in 43 minutes during Friday's 101-100 victory over the Kings.
Harden filled the stat sheet admirably in this tight win, and he also recorded his third triple-double of the season in the process -- and first since Jan. 23. Harden's role as a scorer has diminished a bit due to the regular presence of Kawhi Leonard in the lineup, but Harden should remain one of the Clippers' go-to offensive weapons on a regular basis thanks to his extremely high usage rate. With one game left in the regular season, Harden is averaging 24.8 points, 9.1 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game since the beginning of March.

Clippers' James Harden: Sniffs triple-double in victory
Rotowire
Harden logged 21 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds and 12 assists in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 122-117 victory over San Antonio.
Harden came one rebound short of his third triple-double of the season. He's reined in his three-point shot, and the reduced attempts allowed for some improvement after a string of unimpressive totals beyond the arc. Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac are all getting hot at the right time as the Clippers firmed up their playoff seeding. If the trio keeps this pace, the team is poised for a promising run in the postseason.

Clippers' James Harden: Logs stellar 29/14 double-double
Rotowire
Harden chipped in 29 points (10-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, 14 assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 135-104 win over Dallas.
Although Harden eased off his volume beyond the arc, Harden was excellent elsewhere and recorded one of his best assist totals of the season in the decisive victory. Harden's perimeter shot has been off over the past several games, so it wasn't surprising to see another limited performance from downtown. Instead, Harden got the ball to his teammates, and there's enough talent around him to accrue a significant assist number on a nightly basis.

Clippers' James Harden: Regresses with 13 points
Rotowire
Harden recorded 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 114-91 victory over the Mavericks.
The Clippers played well despite a down game from their most productive player. With Kawhi Leonard fully healthy, there's a lot less pressure on Harden to carry the team, and Norman Powell's return has further lightened the load. Harden is still struggling with his three-point shot, as he's averaged a paltry 18.8 percent beyond the arc over the past three games.

Clippers' James Harden: Struggles beyond the arc in win
Rotowire
Harden notched 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 assists, three blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 114-98 win over New Orleans.
While Harden's scoring and assist numbers remain consistent, his recent struggles beyond the arc limit his explosive potential. Usually a hallmark of his game, Harden has gone 2-of-12 from three-point range over the past two games. A better percentage from deep is essential for Harden to hit the 30-point scoring threshold, and the team is 9-1 when he surpasses that mark.
Clippers' James Harden: Logs career high in steals
Rotowire
Harden registered 20 points (8-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven steals, five assists, three rebounds and one block across 40 minutes during Monday's 96-87 win over Orlando.
Harden recorded a game- and career-high seven steals Monday, marking his 12th game on the season with at least three swipes. The superstar also racked up at least 20 points for the eighth time over his last 10 outings. However, Harden was inefficient from beyond the arc, and he has shot only 30.4 percent from downtown in his last three appearances. Additionally, he dished out fewer than six assists for just the 11th time through 72 regular-season appearances.

Clippers' James Harden: All-around showcase in defeat
Rotowire
Harden finished with 24 points (7-18 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one block over 35 minutes during Sunday's 127-122 loss to the Cavaliers.
Harden did a little bit of everything for Los Angeles in Sunday's outing, handing out a team-high assist total while finishing second among the Clippers in scoring and rebounds in a well-rounded showcase. Harden has recorded at least 20 points, eight rebounds and eight assists in eight contests, doing so for the third time in March during Sunday's loss.

Clippers' James Harden: Scores 17 points with six dimes
Rotowire
Harden provided 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and six assists across 29 minutes during Friday's 132-100 win over Brooklyn.
Kawhi Leonard was absolutely dominant in Friday's win and Ivica Zubac recorded yet another double-double, but Harden still found a way to make an impact on offense -- even if he was forced to adopt a secondary role. One area in which Harden has been remarkably consistent is his playmaking, as he's currently riding a streak of 11 games with six or more assists. Harden averaged 25.1 points and 8.9 assists per game during that 11-game stretch.

Clippers' James Harden: Scores 29, drains six threes
Rotowire
Harden contributed 29 points (8-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 126-113 victory over the Knicks.
Harden was initially listed as questionable prior to this game due to a right foot injury. Still, the star floor general didn't have problems handling his regular workload and playing a significant role in this win. He was particularly locked in from three-point range, as Harden drained at least six threes for the eighth time this season. He's ending the regular season on a strong note and has been averaging 26.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game since the beginning of March.
Harden (foot) has been upgraded to available and will start against the Knicks on Wednesday, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Harden suffered an injury in the loss to the Thunder on Sunday, but the star floor general will suit up Wednesday and should handle his regular workload. He's averaging 22.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game across 68 appearances this season.

Clippers' James Harden: Questionable against New York
Rotowire
Harden (foot) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Harden suffered an injury to his right foot in Sunday's loss to the Thunder, making him questionable for Wednesday's game in New York. If the one-time NBA MVP cannot play, the Clippers will likely turn to Kris Dunn and Ben Simmons to help shoulder the load in the backcourt.
Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said Harden sprained an ankle late in Sunday's 103-101 loss to the Thunder, Joey Linn of SI.com reports. Harden finished with 17 points (4-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and one block in 35 seconds.
Lue said that Harden took a knee to the thigh area, resulting in the star point guard tumbling to the court and rolling his ankle in the process. Harden was able to stay in the game in spite of the injury, only subbing out with 0.1 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. The Clippers will be off until Wednesday's game against the Knicks, so Harden may be ready to go after a couple days of rest and treatment.

Clippers' James Harden: Makes history in Friday's win
Rotowire
Harden produced 30 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 128-108 victory over the Grizzlies.
While he led all scorers on the night and topped 20 points for the 10th straight game, Harden also achieved an impressive milestone on the season, becoming the first player in NBA history age 35 or older to record at least 1,500 points, 500 assists, 200 three-pointers and 100 steals in a campaign. Over his 10-game heater, Harden is averaging 28.4 points, 9.8 assists, 6.0 boards, 3.8 threes, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks.
