James Harden was asked about the state of the Oklahoma City Thunder this season following the departure of Kevin Durant, which came roughly a week after their trade of Serge Ibaka and almost four years after his own trade from the franchise.

Without Durant to share shots with, Westbrook's usage has increased dramatically.

"It's Russ," said Harden. "It's a one-man show."

The Houston Rockets play Russell Westbrook and the Thunder on Wednesday for the first time this season.

Harden and Westbrook are each posting more than 30 points, eight rebounds and nearly 10 assists per game so far this season.
