Missing Kyrie Ewing?
Miss Kevin Durant?
All is well for Brooklyn, because she just has James Harden.
The bearded man rained 40 points on Indiana's head, added 15 assists and 10 rebounds - and recorded a triple-double 16 in his career with 40 points or more (second all-time).
In addition, the star has become the fourth in the history of the league with at least 100 games in which he scores 40 points or more.
It all happened in the Hunts' 115: 124 victory over the Pacers, thanks to a great game by Joe Harris as well (19 points).
Jeff Green added 15 and 9 rebounds.
Triple-double (18, 11 and 11) of ringing champion Domantes Savonis on the other side was not enough for the loser.
The game of the East provided a great show.
Philadelphia, still without the injured Joel Ambide, met Milwaukee and got a great game from Ben Simmons, even leading by 19 points, but the Bucks knew to get out of that pit on the way to 105: 109 after overtime.
Yannis Antecompo, after three consecutive triple-doubles, recorded a “solid” game in his terms with just 32 points.
The Greek also added 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 turnovers, Donta Divenzenzo contributed 20, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 steals while Chris Middleton settled for 15 and also recorded 8 turnovers.
Simmons, on the other hand, finished with a solid triple-double of 13 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, Tobias Harris scored 19 and Green finished with 18.
