James Harden needs to be back in the MVP conversation

Here are some numbers for you:

39.5 points per game
7.5 assists per game
7.3 rebounds per game
51.1/37.5/89.1 62.4TS%

Those are James Harden’s numbers over the past four games. Immaculate, yes, but truth be told, the numbers aren’t doing him justice. After a modest 29-point, 4-assist game against the Blazers to start the win streak, he went insane:

The next game against the Lakers, he dropped 50 points (14-26 FGA), 11 assists, and 10 rebounds. His fourth 50-point triple-double of his career.

Two days later, he strolls into Memphis for 32 points (9-14 FGA), 10 assists, and grabs 12 rebounds for his second-straight triple-double.
