Eric Gordon scores 22 points in start for Rockets
Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon scored 22 points (8-of-19 field goals, 3-of-4 free throws) with 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 3 3-pointers, and 4 turnovers in 41.9 minutes of Thursday's 100-96 overtime victory over the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Gordon went 3-for-9 from beyond the arc while drawing the start in place of Chris Paul (hamstring, rest). The Rockets plan on resting guys down the stretch, so Gordon could see a few more starts over the final 10 games of the regular season.
Gordon scored 35.1 FanDuel points on Thursday, compared to his average of 25.5 FanDuel points per game for the season.
