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.

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.

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. The Clippers may find themselves severely depleted as both Kawhi Leonard (groin), dealing with a groin issue, and Paul George (knee), nursing a knee problem, are also marked as questionable. Further updates on the condition of these key players are anticipated as game time approaches.

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.
