Freedman’s Favorite Fantasy Point Prop for Saturday, Jan. 19: James Harden Over/Under 60.5 

• Over: -120
• Under: -120

This is a bonus prop for today, in addition to Artemi Panarin vs. Cam Atkinson.

Harden offers great value in the Rockets-Lakers game (8:30 p.m. ET, ABC). This line is massively off. In the FantasyLabs NBA Models, we have Harden projected for 72.6 fantasy points (FanDuel scoring).

In his past 10 games, he’s exceeded 60.5 points eight times.

At 60.5, I’d bet it to -200. At -120, I’d bet it to 68.5.

The Pick: Over (-120)
