Harden entered the week leading the league in assists (11.6) and is third for scoring (28.6). He was named a starter in the upcoming All-Star Game that was announced on Monday. Harden also leads an offense that is second in the league in scoring only to Golden State. The Rockets haven’t scored less than 100 points since November 21st.
Thomas didn’t get voted into the All-Star Game as a starter, but there’s an excellent chance that he’ll get in as a reserve. He’s second in the league in scoring (28.9) and he’s been extremely reliable in crunch time situations as he leads the NBA in fourth quarter scoring.

The Celtics have cooled off considerably since a great start to the month and they’re allowing an alarming amount of points. Houston is not the best team to play when you’re defense is struggling. I’ll take the Rockets tonight.
Pick: Rockets -3
