Not only is James Harden one of the best scorers in the NBA, but he's also a top playmaker at his position. The Houston Rockets superstar proved that with a nutmeg assist against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Cutting to the baseline, Harden found himself guarded by Timberwolves big man Gorgui Dieng. In a moment of craftiness, Harden set up teammate Isaiah Hartenstein with a bounce pass between Dieng's legs as Houston's center finished the play while fishing for a foul.

In case you didn't notice. James Harden also left a body on his way to the highlight assist.

This season, Harden has set the NBA world aflame. The 11-year pro is averaging a league-best 37.9 points to go along with 7.5 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game. Led by Harden, the Rockets have a 25-12 record through 37 games.

Is James Harden set for another MVP award? It remains to be seen but he looks to be in a really good place.

Meanwhile, in his second season, Hartenstein has contributed in an increased role. In 13.8 minutes per game, the seven-footer is averaging 5.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game on an impressive 64 percent shooting clip from the floor.
