1. Play Hard on Harden
Not a surprise but James Harden is a huge reason the Rockets are off to an 8-3 start to the 2017-18 season, and he showed that again in a win over Utah Sunday 137-110. In that matchup Harden but up a whopping 56 points and 13 assists in the 27-point win. The Rockets are getting 28.3 points per game from Harden, leading the Rockets through 11 games.
Harden, who finished last season as the runner-up in the MVP voting to Russell Westbrook, is playing at an even higher level thus far this season, and it’s going to be up to the Cavs to double team and play hard on him, hoping to keep him in line and not allowing him to control the tempo of the contest.
