It’s not a stretch to say that James Harden is currently playing the best basketball of his career. He has followed up his first MVP campaign with even loftier numbers and has stepped up big time for a Rockets team that has dealt with a bunch of injuries.
Harden is leading the league in scoring, free throws made and 3-pointers made. The Rockets have won 10 of their last 11 games and The Beard has topped 40 points six times and 50 points once during that span.
Harden led the charge for Houston against the Grizzlies on New Years Eve, scoring a game-high 43 points while grabbing 10 rebounds and dropping 13 dimes.
