James Harden had played for Team Curry in a new format for the 2018 All Star game. Harden this season seems to be a lock for the All-Star game for 2019. He has had an amazing start to the new season, averaging 30 points per game and is 2nd on the league's top scorers per game list behind Curry by 0.1 points per game. Curry has played 6 games lesser than Harden though and that makes it somewhat even. Still, Harden is doing really well for himself.

In the All-Star game last season, Harden played a total of 27 minutes for Team Curry, but was not able to find his shot at all. He hoisted 19 shots but was able to land only 5 of them, scoring a measly 12 points.

He was able to help in other ways, dishing out 8 assists and grabbing 7 rebounds as well. He also managed a steal and a block. If he manages to get a rhythm going this time, he will be able to outscore any player on the court and would be an outsider for the All-Star MVP award.
