James Harden hits eight treys Saturday night in Houston
Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 40 points in just 29 minutes during a 133-102 win over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. He added six rebounds, eight assists, eight turnovers and eight makes from downtown.
What It Means:
Harden is the fourth player to score 40 points in under 30 minutes this season and so far when Harden scores at least 40 points, the Rockets are 6-2. Interestingly enough, all eight of his 40-point games have come since since December 31. He is easily in the running for MVP this season if the Rockets can secure a high seed in the Western Conference.
Harden is averaging 29.1 points, 8.2 rebounds and a league-leading 11.3 assists per game. He owns a .524 effective field goal percentage and his nERD of 13.1 ranks 3rd-best in the NBA currently.
