They have a net rating of -3.6 without Russell Westbrook. Anthony Davis is healthy enough to play with LeBron. The team is only a -1.5 without Westbrook, but it's worth a small roll of the dice.
James Harden is a 150-to-1 favorite to win MVP. He played for Brooklyn and Houston last season. Harden took a pay cut to join the Philadelphia 76ers. His team scored over 124 points per 100 possessions with Harden and Joel Embiid on the floor. He has lost some weight and is getting fit.
