Exactly one month ago James Harden was traded to the Houston Rockets after he failed to agree to a long term deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now he is back, playing but with a different team. Since being traded Harden has risen to be one of the best playmakers in the league. Now that he is the main guy in Houston he can showcase all of his talents since he is no longer playing in the shadows of the Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. In his very first game of the season he had 37 points 12 assists 6 rebounds and 4 steals. He has also had 3 games of over 30 points this season while he only totaled 3 games of over 30 points in his first 3 years combined. While Houston is at 7-7 the Thunder have one of the best records in the league at 11-4.
With the way Harden went out by him talking about sacrificing for the team and then turning around to take more money I believe the Thunder have circled this game since the start of the season. The Thunder are also coming off their best game of the year after beating the Bobcats by 45 points on Monday. If they play like that tonight they should have no trouble with beating the Rockets.
