Rotowire

Clippers' James Harden: Ruled out Monday
Rotowire

Harden was a late addition to the injury report Monday due to right shoulder soreness, and he's set to miss just his third game of the season. With the star guard sidelined, Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller are candidates for increased roles. Harden's next opportunity to suit up will come Wednesday against the Knicks.

Clippers' James Harden: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Harden is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors with right shoulder soreness, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Harden is a late addition to the Clippers' injury report Monday, boding poorly for his chances of suiting up. Kris Dunn would likely be thrust into a significant playmaking role if Harden cannot play, and Jordan Miller could also see a big opportunity in the backcourt in this case.

Clippers' James Harden: Double-double against Celtics
Rotowire
Harden chipped in 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 146-115 loss to Boston.
The double-double was his 10th of the season, and just his second in 13 games since the beginning of December. Over that span, Harden is averaging 22.8 points, 7.0 assists, 3.2 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.5 steals.

Clippers' James Harden: Adds 20 points in win
Rotowire
Harden notched 20 points (5-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT), three rebounds and seven assists in 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-101 victory over the Jazz.
Harden delivered another steady performance Thursday to help secure the sixth straight win for the Clippers. The veteran guard's three-point shot wasn't falling again, shooting one for six from downtown for the second straight game, but he continues to get to the free-throw line at will. The 36-year-old is averaging 10.2 made free throws on 11.4 attempts per game over the past five contests while posting 26.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists in 34.6 minutes per game. While Harden's assist totals haven't been gaudy in recent games, he has committed one or fewer turnovers in each of the past two games, something he had done in only one other game this season.

Clippers' James Harden: Experiences slight dip in win
Rotowire
Harden posted 21 points (6-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 131-90 victory over the Kings.
The game got out of hand early, which is likely one reason for Harden's slight regression in the contest. A cold night beyond the arc was another factor, and that's been a bit of a concern in Harden's recent lines. Although the sharpshooter has converted more than 50 percent of his long-range shots six times this season, he's hit that percentage only once during December.

Clippers' James Harden: Hits for 28 points in decisive win
Rotowire
Harden supplied 28 points (7-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 11-11 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 40 minutes during Sunday's 112-99 win over the Pistons.
It was a tall task to come anywhere close to Kawhi Leonard's historic 55-point game, but Harden managed a solid line despite the voluminous total from his teammate. Harden padded his numbers by going a perfect 11 of 11 from the charity stripe. The veteran has been superb during the current win streak, averaging 28 points, 7.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals over the past four games.
Clippers' James Harden: Drops 29 points in decisive win
Rotowire
Harden totaled 29 points (7-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 12-13 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 128-108 win over the Rockets.
Harden and Kawhi Leonard accounted for 70 of the Clippers' 128 points during the impressive beatdown of the Rockets. The dialed-in combo of Harden and Leonard is the recipe for success in Los Angeles, and keeping the duo healthy and productive is the team's top priority. Losing Ivica Zubac (ankle) for at least three weeks stings, but if the backups can step up, the team can extend this winning streak to three games against Portland this week behind Harden's supreme production.

Clippers' James Harden: Posts 21 points in return to action
Rotowire
Harden registered 21 points (6-20 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 41 minutes during Saturday's 103-88 victory over the Lakers.
Although Harden left most of the heavy lifting to Kawhi Leonard during the win, the former was free to roam in the second half after Luka Doncic's (leg) early exit. With Harden at the helm, the Clippers controlled the tempo for most of the game, and even LeBron James' heroic stints on the floor weren't enough to keep Harden and the rest of the lineup in check. Harden will get two full days off before meeting a familiar foe in the Rockets, where he spent a significant chunk of his illustrious career.

Clippers' James Harden: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Harden (calf) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus the Lakers, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Harden sat out Monday's loss to the Thunder with a calf contusion, but he'll be back in action Saturday, which will likely result in Bogdan Bogdanovic heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Jordan Miller and Kobe Sanders.
Harden has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a left calf contusion, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Harden was able to play through a calf injury during Monday's loss to the Grizzlies. However, the injury will keep the superstar guard out of Thursday's contest, and his status for Saturday's tilt against the Lakers is up in the air. Bogdan Bogdanovic, Jordan Miller, Kobe Sanders and RayJ Dennis are candidates to see more playing time in Harden's absence.
Clippers' James Harden: Plays through injury for 13 points
Rotowire
Harden produced 13 points (4-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and three steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 121-103 loss to Memphis.
Harden took the floor despite his calf injury, and although he was effective in distributing the ball to other playmakers, he finished with his second-lowest scoring total of the season. Aside from the Spurs and Knicks, the league will enjoy a few days of rest, which should give Harden a chance to rest his leg and return to higher production.

Rotowire
The Clippers have stated Harden (calf) is a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
Coach Ty Lue stated in his pre-game presser that Harden had been cleared for action, but the Clippers announced shortly after that Lue misspoke, and Harden is still being considered a game-time call. More clarity on the star guard's status should arrive closer to tipoff.
