The Houston Rockets and the Milwaukee Bucks are arguably the two hottest teams in the league right now. They are both 8-2 in their last 10 games and have likely the top two candidates for Most Valuable Player: James Harden and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
James Harden has forced his way into the conversation after averaging nearly 40 points a game for the last month while still being one of the top assist guys in the league. He is carrying the Rockets without Chris Paul and has recent wins over teams like the Warriors, Nuggets and Thunder, to name a few.
