Impact Gordon has played a prominent role in Houston over the last several seasons, and he averaged 13.1 points, 2.9 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 30.2 minutes per game over 47 appearances during the 2022-23 season. Though his playing time and usage will almost certainly take a hit with the move to the Clippers while both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are healthy, Gordon should pair with Norman Powell to provide L.A.'s two stars with some knockdown shooting on the perimeter.

Decent output despite loss Gordon closed with 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 140-120 loss to the Kings.

Impact Gordon is on a solid scoring run of late, topping the 15-point mark in four straight contests while also delivering solid numbers in the assist department. Gordon is averaging 16.8 points, 3.8 assists and 2.3 rebounds per game since the start of January, but an uptick in the efficiency department wouldn't hurt since he's making just 35.3 percent of his three-point shots during that span.

Not on injury report Gordon (rest) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against Sacramento.

Impact Gordon sat out against the Thunder on Saturday for rest purposes but will be back in action against the Kings. He's topped 20 points in his last three appearances and has averaged 25.7 points, 5.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 34.3 minutes per game during that time.

Out Saturday Gordon won't play in Saturday's matchup with the Thunder for rest purposes, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact The Rockets are playing the second night of a back-to-back set, so Gordon will get a breather. Gordon earned the rest after producing a season-high 28 points (10-15 FG, 2-5 3PT, 6-7 FT) to go with five assists, three rebound and one steal across 34 minutes in Friday's 117-111 loss to Toronto. After sitting Saturday, Gordon should slot back into the starting five for the Rockets' next game Monday against the Kings.

Pops for season-high 28 points Gordon posted 28 points (10-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 117-111 loss to Toronto.

Impact Gordon scored at least 24 points for the third straight game, continuing easily his best stretch of the season. He remains someone who could very well be on the move come next Thursday, although that is something we have been saying for the past three seasons. He can be streamed in for points for now, but as for what the future holds, it's really anyone's guess.

Playing Friday, unlikely Saturday Gordon will take the floor Friday but isn't expected to suit up Saturday versus the Thunder, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact Head coach Stephen Silas indicated that a final decision on his status hasn't been made at this point. If Gordon is ultimately held out, Josh Christopher could make another spot start, having subbed into the starting lineup for Gordon the last time he sat Jan. 26 versus the Cavaliers.

Likely only one game this weekend Gordon is expected to only appear in one of the two games in the back-to-back set Friday against the Raptors and Saturday against the Thunder, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chroni...

Impact It's unclear which of the two games Gordon will suit up for, but it sounds like the veteran is only on tap for one contest. The injury report released later Thursday should clarify his status for Friday's tilt against the Raptors.

Leads way with 25 points Gordon accumulated 25 points (8-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-9 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 112-106 win over the Thunder.

Impact Gordon was coming off a 24-point performance and has cleared 30 minutes in his last eight active games. Kevin Porter (foot) remains without a timetable, but the Rockets are hoping to get Jalen Green (calf) back this weekend. Gordon's minutes and usage appear to be secure for the short term, but a lot of eyes will be on him with the Feb. 9 trade deadline approaching.

Posts game-high 24 points Gordon totaled 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 117-114 win over the Pistons.

Impact Gorden couldn't find his shooting touch from beyond the arc, but he still managed to lead the game in scoring with his 17 attempts from the field. He was able to rebound nicely from his last performance, when he was held to only nine points over 31 minutes Wednesday against the Wizards.

Starting Saturday Gordon (knee) will start Saturday at Detroit, Adam Spolane of Sports Radio 610 Houston reports.

Impact Gordon sat out the tail end of a back-to-back Thursday night but will be back with the first unit for Saturday's tilt. He is joined by Daishen Nix, Kenyon Martin, Tari Eason and Jabari Smith in the starting lineup.

Not on injury report Gordon (knee) is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's tilt against the Pistons.

Impact The veteran sat out on the second night of a back-to-back Thursday but will return to the rotation Saturday. He could see increased usage with both Kevin Porter (foot) and Jalen Green (calf) out. In January, Gordon is averaging 14.7 points, 3.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds in 30.4 minutes.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Thursday Gordon has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Cleveland due to right knee soreness.

Impact Gordon has played at least 30 minutes in each of his last six appearances, averaging 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 31.3 minutes per game over that stretch. However, he's dealing with a knee issue that will sideline him for the first time since Dec. 27. Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) is also out, so Kenyon Martin, Garrison Mathews and Tari Eason will likely see increased run Thursday.

Steps up as facilitator Gordon finished with 19 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-11 FT), eight assists and two rebounds across 32 minutes in Monday's 140-132 loss to the Lakers.

Impact With point guard Kevin Porter (foot) missing his third straight game, Gordon stepped up as a facilitator, finishing the night as the Rockets' leading assist man. Assuming Porter's absence doesn't prove to be an extended one, Gordon can't be depended on to regularly offer useful production in the assists column. Instead, Gordon is best utilized as a streaming option for points, free-throw percentage and three-pointers in games when Houston is without one of its other four starters (Porter, Jalen Green, Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith).

Ties season high in scoring Gordon totaled 24 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes during Sunday's 121-100 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Gordon led all Houston players in scoring while tying a season-high mark, which he set Nov. 18 against Indiana. Gordon has tallied 10 or more points in eight of his last 10 games and is averaging 13.5 points, 2.6 assists and 1.8 rebounds during that stretch.
