"Every time you play the Boston Celtics, you get a playoff feel no matter what day it is, who is out there. They're super well-coached, they have really good players. I think it's one of the premier organizations in the league to play against. They bring it every night. They have a culture. They check all the boxes and that's why they've been successful over the past few years."

X-rays taken Wednesday revealed the injury, which Harden suffered against the New York Knicks. Harden is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday night's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He is expected to undergo treatment and further evaluation before a decision on his status going forward is announced.

"This whole MVP thing, I don't understand why his name is not getting talked about some as well," James said. "Like, nobody gave them [the Celtics] a shot to start the season. And he's averaging what, 30? Just under 30? It's a popularity contest sometimes, I tell you."

PHILADELPHIA -- Not only did the 76ers find their way to a dramatic 128-122 victory over the Houston Rockets here at Xfinity Mobile Arena Thursday night, but on the two-year anniversary of Joel Embiid scoring 70 points here against the San Antonio Spurs, the superstar center put up a 32-point triple-double.

Tonight's Spurs vs Rockets I-10 showdown at the Toyota Center is a massive divisional clash with both jockeying for playoff positioning. The Spurs (31-15) arrive as one of the West's biggest success stories this season, led by the impossible-to-miss Victor Wembanyama and a backcourt fueled by De'Aaron Fox. They're looking to shake off a recent stumble against the Pelicans and prove they're ready for a deep playoff run.

Houston's Alperen Sengun was added to the roster for this season's NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, being selected as a replacement pick for Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Sengun -- who becomes Turkey's first two-time All-Star, after also being picked last season -- will take Gilgeous-Alexander's place on the World team in the Feb. 15 event at the LA Clippers' home in Inglewood, California.

"Some teams, when it gets that bad, they just let the wheels fall off," Harden said. "I had interviews where people were asking me, 'How do you find confidence?' and I'm like, 'The confidence is there. The losses are frustrating, but the confidence is still there.'"
