After a successful and exciting victory against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday afternoon, the Utah Jazz will resume their tough stretch tonight against the Houston Rockets.
Over the past couple of years, it’s become obvious how heavily the Rockets rely on James Harden. His usage percentage has been through the roof, as have his points per game. It’s comparable to Wilt Chamberlain, which is quite an accomplishment in this day and age.
Last summer the Rockets added another heavy usage man that was also once named MVP of the league. Russell Westbrook, now playing second fiddle for the first time in five years, still gets quite a bit of responsibility.
