After getting off to a slow start to the year, the Rockets are starting to put things together, and it's all because of how phenomenal James Harden has been on offense. The Rockets enter Monday with a record of 20-15, which is good for fifth place in the Western Conference standings. Houston is currently on a four-game winning streak and has won nine out of its last 10 games.
The Bucks, meanwhile, are 25-10. Giannis Antetokounmpo is showing the entire league that he can dominate games without having a reliable outside jump shot. The Greek Freak is only shooting 15.4 percent from the 3-point line this season and is still averaging 26.6 points per game. The two-time All-Star can get to the rim at will and finish in heavy traffic, and opposing defenses can't seem to stop him.
