James Harden (thigh) questionable for Rockets on Monday
Houston Rockets guard/forward James Harden (left thigh contusion) is questionable for Monday versus the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
Harden sat out Sunday and was previously considered doubtful for the second leg of the Rockets' back-to-back set. He's likely headed for a game-time call. Russell Westbrook (rest) has already been ruled out, so Eric Gordon could be in for a busy night if Harden also sits again. Danuel House, Austin Rivers, and Ben McLemore would also be in line for a boost.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Rockets have the second-lowest implied total on Monday's six-game slate (104.5 points).
