Eric Gordon (groin) ruled out Wednesday for Rockets versus Jazz
Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (right groin soreness) has been ruled out for Wednesday against the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
The Rockets are likely just giving Gordon a maintenance day on the second leg of a back-to-back. He played 26 minutes on Tuesday and was held below 10 points for a second straight game. Josh Christopher, David Nwaba, Garrison Mathews (ankle, probable), and Dennis Schroder (ankle, questionable) could see larger roles due to Gordon being out.
numberFire's models currently project Christopher for 20.0 minutes and 16.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $3,500 salary on the eight-game slate.
