James Harden - Houston Rockets

Harden is the 2018 NBA MVP winner and will look to once again guide this Houston Rockets team to the No. 1 record in the league. This season he has a bit more help, beyond All-Star Chris Paul, as Carmelo Anthony is there for a role. Still, this is Harden's team and the Rockets take off as far as he can accelerate them. Look for Harden to keep adding major stats to his resume as the Rockets keep climbing. At +500 odds he's one to watch.
