Player performance and review:

James Harden has been on an absolute tear this season. He had started off a bit slow, but ever since Chris Paul got injured, there has been no stopping him. This season, Harden is averaging a massive 34 points per game this season, along with more than 6 rebounds and just under 9 assists a game this season.

He is surpassing his previous beats and is staking a great case for his MVP candidacy.

In the loss against the Magic, Harden had 38 points, along with 12 assists, 9 rebounds and 4 steals.

Alternate pick: DeMar DeRozan (San Antonio Spurs)
