Rockets confirm James Harden, Trevor Ariza will start Wednesday night
Houston Rockets point guard James Harden (illness) and guard/forward Trevor Ariza (personal) will return to the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets.
Harden and Ariza will return after missing Sunday's contest, meaning less work for Troy Williams and Patrick Beverley, as well as a return to the second unit for Eric Gordon. Gordon's numbers tend to remain pretty consistent whether he starts or not.
numberFire's models project Gordon to record 14.9 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.8 3-pointers in 36.1 minutes versus Denver.
