James Harden continues to eat.
The MVP award is being chased hard by leading candidates James Harden and Stephen Curry. Neither are making it any easier in this final stretch.
On Monday night, Harden put 44 points and 7 assists on the Indiana Pacers, one of the best defensive teams in the league, to lead the Rockets to a 110-100 win.
Harden just had his career-high of 50 points last week in a win over the Nuggets. This was his eighth game of the season with at least 40 points and the second time against the Pacers. He gave them 45 in a home win against Indy on January 19.
