At this point, James Harden seems to be the victim of his incredibly high standards, that he created for himself with his performances from this season. Even so, the former MVP looked more like his old self in this match, as he finished the night with 35 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. He was vital for the Rockets's win against the Dallas Mavericks, and he deserves a spot in this list.

As Clint Capela was unavailable for this match, Harden posted a season-high number of rebounds, as he was more important on the defensive end for the Rockets last night, compared to other matches this season, when he only had to worry about the offensive part. Because of his high standards, this might be considered even a disappointing performance for Harden, but few players in the league can play at this level, and he deserves his place in the rankings for tonight.

Houston won an important match here for their ranking in the league table, against a conference rival, like the Dallas Mavericks.
