Rockets starting Kevin Porter Jr. for injured Eric Gordon (groin) on Friday
Houston Rockets shooting guard Kevin Porter Jr. is starting in Friday's game against the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
Porter Jr. will make his first start this season after Eric Gordon was ruled out for four-to-six weeks with a right groin strain. In a tough matchup against a Jazz unit ranked fourth in points allowed per game this season, our models project Porter Jr. to score 31.5 FanDuel points at the salary of $4,900.
