EDGE Analysis

Harden's early-season offensive struggles are now a distant memory, with the perennial All-Star posting a second consecutive performance of over 40 points. The 26-year-old played over 40 minutes for the third consecutive game, and has shot a solid 55 percent (27-for-49) over the last two contests on his way to amassing an eye-popping 89 points over that span. Factoring in that Harden has also significantly picked up his long-range game the last two nights, shooting just under 50 percent (9-for-20) from beyond the arc, it can be safely assumed the would-be MVP candidate has officially hit his stride in the new season.
