2. Chris Paul, James Harden – Houston Rockets
It doesn’t get much better than Chris Paul and James Harden, and had it not been for an injury in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals the Houston Rockets might’ve been NBA Champions right now.
But enough with the “what if” game. What we do know is that when Paul and Harden are on top of their games, they’re tough to beat. They can both distribute with the best of them and can drop the scoring hammer on any given moment.
The Rockets will be the top contender to take down the Golden State Warriors once again in 2018-19, and a big reason why will be because of their starting backcourt.
