Houston is 43-26 on the season, which is good for third place in the Western Conference standings. The Rockets are 9-1 in their last 10 games.
As we all know, James Harden is having a stellar season. The Beard is averaging 36.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game while shooting 43.7 percent from the field, 35.5 percent from beyond the arc and 87.6 percent from the free-throw line.
Harden has 27 double-doubles and six triple-doubles on the season. The seven-time All-Star has only missed four games all year long.
The Timberwolves are one of the worst teams in the NBA on the road. Minnesota is just 9-27 on away games this season. So even if Harden doesn’t play on Sunday, the Rockets should be able to defeat the Timberwolves with ease.
It’s been an amazing turnaround in Houston this season. At one point, the team was in the 14th spot in the Western Conference standings. Harden has literally put the team on his back.
