Rockets' James Harden: Big double-double drives win over Nuggets

Harden scored 39 points (13-29 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 9-11 FT) while adding 11 assists, seven rebounds and four steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 125-124 win over the Nuggets.

Analysis:

Harden didn't enjoy his most efficient shooting performance, but his sheer volume of attempts, combined with his stroke from long range and his efficacy at the foul line, still resulted in another big scoring performance. He has been on an absolute tear as a scorer of late, with seven performances of at least 33 points in his last nine contests, and he has also contributed 10.9 dimes per game during that stretch.
