Houston Rockets guard James Harden and Chris Paul give the Houston Rockets two of the best point guards in the NBA. Look no further: The Houston Rockets are the only team in the Western conference that can match the reigning champion Warriors on both sides of the court. Incidentally, Houston also took the most attempts from the free-throw line in 2016-17 (26.5 per game), with Harden excelling at drawing a foul on three-point shots. In other words, this Rockets team can hang offensively with any other squad in the NBA. He also gets his hand in the passing lanes (2.4 per game in 2016-17), contests three-point shots (2.6 per game) and recovers loose balls (1.3 per game).
