Player performance and review:

James Harden has been playing some absolutely insane basketball of late. Ever since Chris Paul went down with his injury, James Harden has flipped a switch.

He is averaging just under 40 points per game in the month of January and is averaging 34 points per game this season, along with just under 9 assists a game and more than 6 rebounds per game too.

He is also been defending well, getting 2 steals a game too. In the win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Harden got another triple-double, becoming the first player to grab a 40 point triple-double in 30 minutes.

He scored 43 points, along with 12 assists, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks as well, filling up the stat sheet.

Alternate pick: Jimmy Butler (Philadelphia 76ers)
