Harden is generating 1.06 points per isolation, down from 1.14 the past four seasons. It’s just another number that’s indicative of his regressed play. With Embiid out, the light will shine bright on Harden’s play and whether he’s able to pick up the scoring load, but the onus is on more than just him against the Heat. Tyrese Maxey, not Harden, took the most shots besides Embiid in the first round. Following his sensational sophomore season, his game has immediately translated to the playoffs, where he averaged 21.3 points in 42 minutes in the first round.
