James Harden scores 40 points in Rockets' loss

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden scored 40 points on 12-of-19 from the field during a 102-93 home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, adding five rebounds, five assists, three steals, one block and five 3-pointers.

What It Means:

Harden has had some serious struggles to start this season. He's posting a career-worst 4.4 turnovers per 36 minutes, sports a career-low .441 Effective Field Goal percentage, a career low 106 Offensive Rating and a 107 Defensive rating that matches his worst since coming to Houston. His nERD is a very pedestrian 2.3, and he's a big part of why the Rockets are struggling so far.
