7 years agoHouston Rockets guard James Harden scored 26 points on 8-for-13 shooting on Monday night to lead the Rockets to a road win against the Utah Jazz. Playing in Utah on the second end of a back-to-back and with Eric Gordon and Clint Capela out, Houston's offense wasn't as effective as it is on some nights, but Harden was able to power the team to victory. He pulled down a team-high 11 rebounds and dished out five assists. He also recorded three steals. Houston's next game is Wednesday against the Clippers in Los Angeles. The Clippers have clamped down defensively of late against opposing shooting guards, but Harden is still a must-start. He scored 51 points against the Clippers back in December.--Justin Carter - RotoBaller
