Talking Points

The Houston Rockets are looking to regroup after losing 98-90 to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday. They boast one of the league’s elite players in James Harden. He’s playing point guard while Chris Paul is sideline with a left knee injury. Harden has at least 20 points and seven assists in all four games. He also has a knack for dominating the Sixers. Harden averaged a triple-double (42 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds) in last season’s two meetings.
