NBA Daily Notes: The Bucks keeping winning; Top fantasy picks for December 22nd

SG 2 - James Harden (Houston Rockets):

No matter the day, James Harden seems to be the best player on the court on any given night. He has been in absolutely mind-blowing form, carrying the Houston Rockets on his shoulders.

The Rockets this season have not been playing as good as they were last season, currently occupying the 9th spot, with a 16-15 record. They have won the last 5 of their 6 matches, losing their last game to the Miami Heat 101-99. Let us now, discuss about the player in the spotlight, James Harden.

James Harden seems to have been let loose.

Harden is leading the NBA scorers this season as well, averaging a massive 32 points per game, along with 8 assists and just under 6 rebounds per game too. He has not scored below 30 points in his last 5 games and has crossed 45 points in 2 of them.

In the loss against the Heat, Harden had scored a huge 35 points, along with 12 assists and 6 rebounds. He even had 2 steals to go with his huge stat line but could not get the Rockets to win. With Chris Paul injured for another 2-4 weeks, Harden will take on an even bigger role in getting the Rockets into contention again, starting with the game against the San Antonio Spurs tomorrow.

Alternate pick: Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards)
