Rockets will start Eric Gordon for Game 5

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon will start on Tuesday night for Game 5 against the San Antonio Spurs.

What It Means:

Gordon drew the start in the second half of Game 4 on Sunday after Nene Hilario suffered what proved to be a season-ended groin injury. Ryan Anderson will come off the bench on Tuesday, and it looks like the Rockets will be spending extra time playing small to compensate for Nene's absence, so there may not be any extra minutes to go around for the Rockets' reserve big men.

numberFire's models project Gordon for 15.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 34.1 minutes of action on Tuesday night.
