James Harden is set to carry fantasy basketball owners on FanDuel on December 13th. Harden who is coming off his best game of the season scoring 44 points along with grabbing four rebounds, eight assists, one blocked shot and three steals. The effort was good enough to land him 66.8 fantasy points marking the fourth straight game recording at least 43 fantasy points.

Harden looks to lead his Houston Rockets to a win at home against the Denver Nuggets. Entering Friday night, the Nuggets have allowed the fourth most points per game at 104.7 this season. The Rockets shooting guard is just one of a few of the top stars around the NBA in action on Saturday.

If your looking for a nice combo to Harden, consider using Chris Paul at the point guard position as well as LaMarcus Aldridge at power forward. Prior to the Los Angeles Clippers last game, Paul had recorded three straight games over 42 fantasy points including one contest with 51.1 fantasy points. Aldridge on the other hand posted a huge game for fantasy owners on Friday scoring 54.8 fantasy points finishing the game with 35 points.

The only concern combining these three options is the limited funds to spread around to the other six spots. The combination of the Harden, Aldridge and Paul leaves you around $29,800 and only around $4,967 to spend for each position. That being said here are some great FanDuel bargains to free up some extra cash.

D.J. Augustin, Detroit Pistons ($3,800): Augustin might not be Chris Paul but he has registered eight of ten games with double digit fantasy points. Of the the eight, four of those games Augustin was able to top the 20 fantasy point mark.

Gerald Henderson, Charlotte Hornets ($3,800): The Hornets small forward has been up and down for most of the season but has shown flashes. That included his 22 point effort against the New York Knicks on December 5th. Henderson might not be the big time fantasy scorer but he has been consistent with nine straight fantasy double digit mark and a good opportunity against a Brooklyn Nets team allowing over 100 points a game.

Darrell Arthur, Denver Nuggets ($4,600): Despite not starting Arthur registered more minutes then the starter JJ Hickson. This should be a good sign of things to come for fantasy owners. Arthur struggled only registering 12.4 fantasy points in his last start but had registered 32.6 and 22.4 in the two previous contests.

Ben McLemore, Sacramento Kings ($4,400): The Kings shooting guard has posted back to back games of over 21 fantasy points. That success should continue as the Kings take on the Detroit Pistons on Saturday.

Channing Frye, Orlando Magic ($4,400): Frye has posted eight straight games with double digit fantasy points. The Magic power forward has also registered three contests with over 20 fantasy points.

Soloman Hill, Indiana Pacers ($4,800): Hill scored 16 points in 30 minutes to go with three rebounds assists and three blocked shots. The Pacers small forward has posted over 20 fantasy points in six of his last ten games.

The moves above would free you up $8,400 to find a solid center including the likes of DeAndre Jordan, Al Horford and Andre Drummond.
