Originally slated to start at shooting guard in place of Patrick Beverley
(groin), Gordon moved to his usual bench role once the latter was determined
well enough to go. Gordon still saw his usual allotment of playing time on the
second unit, posting his eighth straight double-digit scoring effort. Lou
Williams’ introduction into the Rockets’ backcourt rotation has been seamless
with respect to Gordon’s production over the last two games, a welcome sight for
the latter’s fantasy owners.
