Houston Rockets
In case you missed it, James Harden outscored San Antonio in the first quarter on Friday night, 27–24. He also finished the game by scoring Houston’s final 13 points in a comeback win.
Oh yea, he finished with 61 points, his second 60-point game of the season, which makes him the first player to have multiple 60-burgers in a season since Kobe Bryant in 2007.

Some other fun Harden scoring facts via Reddit: he has as many 50-point games in his career now as Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and Stephen Curry, combined.
He also has seven of the eight highest-scoring games in the NBA this season. Only Kemba Walker’s 60 breaks up Harden’s seven games of 57 points, or more.

The MVP race has flip-flopped a couple of times, which is why we really shouldn’t have the conversation until the end of the season. It seems to be tilting back to Harden, especially given Houston’s run of success.
The Rockets have won 13 of 15 to take a one-game lead for the 3-seed out West. Their only two losses in that span came by two vs. Golden State and one at Memphis.
New Orleans Pelicans
Houston was heating up toward the end of January, however, until it hosted New Orleans on the 29th of the month and the Pelicans grabbed a road win as a healthy underdog.
Jrue Holiday held Harden to 11-for-32 and Jahlil Okafor racked up 27 points in a double-double.

Well, Okafor is still playing big minutes but Holiday hasn’t played since the first week of March. New Orleans shut him down for a week with an abdomen strain and he hasn’t played since.
That’s a shame because, bad as the Pelicans are, Holiday was in the midst of his finest professional season. Right now, his numbers read 21.7 points per game with 7.7 assists. He also averages a full five rebounds per game to go along with his stellar perimeter defense.
Set to pay him $80 million over the next three seasons, the Pelicans will probably sit Holiday down the rest of the way, unless he insists on playing.
A solid tank over the last couple weeks of the season could do the Pelicans well. They have the 10th-worst record in the league right now.
