Stat of the Day

Wednesday night marked the season opening games for 16 more NBA teams, including the Houston Rockets.

The Rockets would start two of their big offseason acquisitions, Jeremy Lin and James Harden. James Harden proved he is worth every cent of his $80 million deal. He put up 37 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds, 4 steals and 1 block. That stat line has only been achieved by three other players in the history of the NBA (Dwyane Wade, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan). Jeremy Lin had a solid game, tallying 12 points, 8 assists and 4 steals.

Jeremy Lin also led the entire NBA on Wednesday night with a +23 point differential with him on the floor for Houston, in their 105-96 win over Detroit.
On the other end, Zach Randolph had an NBA low -25 differential with Memphis in their 101-92 loss to the Clippers.
