3. Houston Rockets (30-11)

Even without James Harden in the lineup, the Houston Rockets have done a swell job in keeping up the pace with the Golden sTate Warriors in the Western Conference.

The Rockets are only two games back of the Warriors in the loss column, and even though they probably will never catch them in the regular season, it’s important that they keep the pressure on – that way the Warriors can’t just rest the entire team towards the end of the season.

James Harden looks like he’s finally going to secure that illusive NBA MVP award, and Houston could find themselves back in the conference finals.
