Eric Gordon out for Rockets Friday due to groin injury

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (groin) will not play on Friday versus the Utah Jazz.

What It Means:

Gordon injured his groin during Thursday's loss to the Sacramento Kings and is scheduled for an MRI later today. Victor Oladipo should see an uptick in usage Friday and there will be more opportunities throughout the rotation for K.J. Martin Jr., Kevin Porter Jr., Sterling Brown, and Ben McLemore. Martin played over 30 minutes off the bench and came a rebound short of a double-double on Thursday. Porter provided 13 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 1 3-pointer.

Brown is numberFire's top overall value on Friday's seven-game slate and Martin is second. Brown has a salary of $3,600 and our models project him for 24.1 FanDuel points while Martin has a salary of $3,500 and is projected for 23.3 FanDuel points. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Rockets have the second-lowest implied total (105.8 points) among the 14 teams in action Friday.
