Harden logged 18 points (6-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 112-104 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Harden collected his 13th double-double of the season, though the veteran struggled from the field again and matched a season-high seven turnovers. It was his second straight game with at least six turnovers, but he's also dished out at least six dimes in every game in January. However, over his last seven games, the star guard is shooting just 34.8 percent from the field on 22.1 attempts per game and 21.0 percent from deep on 8.9 attempts.

Harden had 24 points (9-25 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six assists and five rebounds across 31 minutes in Tuesday's 138-110 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Harden finished as the Clippers' leading scorer, reaching the 20-point threshold for a fifth straight game. However, the star guard struggled from beyond the arc yet again, and he has shot an abysmal 19.6 percent from beyond the arc over his last six outings. On a more positive note, he also tied the team-high mark in assists and has dished out at least six dimes in all 10 of his appearances so far this month.

Harden produced 36 points (9-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 18-20 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block in 37 minutes during Monday's 110-106 victory over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Harden took an interesting path to 36 points, as he failed to connect from downtown and added 18 of his 36 from the charity stripe. Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com notes that this is the highest-scoring game of Harden's career without hitting at least one trey. His production didn't end in the scoring department, as he fell one assist shy of a double-double while also recording at least one steal and one block for a second straight game.

Harden had 31 points (10-27 FG, 2-15 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 42 minutes in Friday's 121-117 overtime win over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Harden struggled in the first three quarters, during which he tallied 15 points while shooting 5-for-17 from the field. However, the star guard stepped it up in the fourth quarter and overtime, and he finished as Los Angeles' leading scorer with Kawhi Leonard (ankle) sidelined. Harden has reached the 20-point marker in three straight games and in all but two of his eight appearances in January. Moreover, he dished out a team-high 10 assists Friday, securing his third double-double this month.

Harden amassed 32 points (11-28 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and four steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 117-109 victory over Charlotte.
EDGE Analysis
With a three-pointer in the third quarter, Harden surpassed Shaquille O'Neal to claim the ninth-place spot on the NBA career scoring list. Harden recorded his ninth double-double of the season during the victory, as the All-Star and teammate Kawhi Leonard accounted for 67 of the team's 117 points. It was an encouraging total for Harden, who regressed Sunday with a below-average showing against the Pistons and had surpassed 29 points only once over the past six games.

Harden registered 31 points (10-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), six assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes in Friday's 121-105 win over the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
After shooting just 35.3 percent from the field in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks, Harden bounced back with an extremely efficient performance Friday. The star guard scored a game-high 31 points while leading the Clippers in assists. Additionally, he chipped in a season-high-tying two blocks, tallying multiple swats for the fourth time this season and for the first time since Nov. 17. He had shot just 37.3 percent from the field and 29.4 percent from beyond the arc in his previous five games entering Friday's contest, so his efficiency against Brooklyn is a welcome sight.

Harden (shoulder) logged 23 points (6-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Harden was questionable to play Wednesday with a shoulder injury that held him out of Monday's contest with Golden State. He ultimately played through the injury and drained four three-pointers, his most since Dec. 20. Harden has not been shooting well from the field recently, averaging 22.0 points on just 37.3 percent overall and 29.4 percent from beyond the arc in his last five contests.

Harden (shoulder) is good to go for Wednesday's game in New York, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harden is back after missing Monday's win over the Warriors, and his return will likely result in Kobe Sanders heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Jordan Miller with Harden active.

Harden (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Harden is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to right shoulder soreness. If the star guard is ultimately ruled out, Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller are candidates for an uptick in minutes. Over his last five outings, Harden has averaged 24.2 points, 7.4 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 34.4 minutes per contest.
