Pops for team-high 29 in loss
Harden accumulated 29 points (9-21 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 135-118 loss to the Lakers.
Analysis
Every Clippers starter scored in double digits, but it was Harden who led the way for the visitors. The 36-year-old point guard is on a tear in November, scoring more than 25 points in seven of his last nine games while averaging 33.1 points, 7.8 assists, 6.7 boards, 4.2 threes and 1.0 steals.

Struggles against Cavaliers
Harden closed Sunday's 120-105 loss to Cleveland with 19 points (5-16 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal in 32 minutes.
Analysis
Harden was coming off a 55-point performance against the Hornets on Saturday, but the star guard was unable to repeat those numbers on the second leg of the back-to-back set. After going 10-for-16 from three Saturday, Harden missed all eight of his shots Sunday. His real value is somewhere in between these two performances, but more often than not, Harden should be a valuable scoring weapon for a struggling Clippers team. He's averaging 30.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game since the beginning of November.

Breaks franchise scoring record
Harden logged 55 points (17-26 FG, 10-16 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal over 35 minutes during the Clippers' 131-116 win over the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis
It was a truly vintage performance from Harden on Saturday, as he broke the Clippers' franchise record with 55 points while tying a career high with 10 three-pointers. Per independent NBA writer Justin Russo, Harden joined Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant as the only players age 36 or older to score 55 or more points in a game. Harden will continue to be the engine that runs the Clippers' offense, and he should be getting reinforcements for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, as Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is expected to return from a nine-game absence, as reported by NBA reporter Chris Haynes.

Drills five treys
Harden notched 31 points (8-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 10-12 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Thursday's 129-101 loss to Orlando.
Analysis
Harden posted a strong scoring performance, hitting five triples for the second time in his last three appearances. He led his team with 31 points but received minimal help from his teammates, as Ivica Zubac was the only other Clipper to score in double figures. Harden has been red-hot on the offensive end of late, averaging 32.5 points over his last six appearances.
