Gordon is listed as out for Friday's game versus the Hawks due to right groin injury maintenance.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon is likely sitting out Friday's game because it is the first leg of a back-to-back. While Gordon will likely play in Saturday's game against the Thunder, Garrison Matthews should see extended minutes in his absence against Atlanta.

Gordon produced a season-high 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT) to go with six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes in Friday's 99-91 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon led the way for the Rockets offensively on a night that Kevin Porter (back) was sidelined and Jalen Green was capped to 16 points on 2-for-10 shooting from the field. With Porter missing Saturday's practice and perhaps trending toward another absence Sunday, Gordon could continue to enjoy an elevated profile in the Houston offense in the short term.

Gordon contributed four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 26 minutes during Monday's 122-106 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon was a non-factor in the loss, highlighting just how volatile his value can be. Despite scoring in double-digits in the majority of games, he still sits well outside the top 150, meaning he should be viewed as nothing more than a possible streaming candidate on low-volume nights.

Gordon chipped in 19 points (5-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 134-127 win over the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon finished with season highs in three-point attempts, made three pointers and points during Monday's win. Aside from a scoreless outing against the Clippers on Nov. 2, the veteran wing has scored in double figures in every appearance this season and is averaging 13.0 points, 3.3 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 30.9 minutes per game.

Gordon chipped in zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 109-101 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon returned from a one-game absence Monday against the Clippers and posted 11 points, but he was held scoreless for the first time this year during Wednesday's rematch. While the 33-year-old has glimpses of production in secondary categories, that output usually isn't enough to garner much fantasy appeal if the scoring isn't there. Gordon had scored in double figures in his six appearances leading up to Wednesday's loss, and he'll have a chance to bounce back Saturday in Minnesota.

Gordon supplied 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks across 30 minutes in Monday's 95-93 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
After resting during Sunday's loss to the Suns, Gordon returned to the starting five for the second half of the back-to-back set. The veteran wing produced well across the board once again and has put himself in consideration for a roster spot in most 12-team leagues at this point, though he'll likely continue to sit out one half of back-to-back sets moving forward. Through his six outings this season, Gordon is averaging 14.5 points, 3.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 31.5 minutes per game while shooting 47.7 percent from the field and 81.3 percent from the charity stripe.

Gordon is starting Monday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon was held out of Sunday's matchup against the Suns for injury maintenance, but he'll be back in action Monday evening. He may be expected to shoulder a heavier workload than usual with Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) ruled out. Garrison Mathews and Kenyon Martin are also candidates for more playing time at small forward off the bench.

Gordon is out for Saturday's game against the Bucks due to right groin injury maintenance.
EDGE Analysis
Gordon's injury is seemingly minor, but the Rockets have no reason to push the veteran on the second night of a back-to-back. In his absence, Garrison Mathews, Josh Christopher, Kenyon Martin and Tari Eason are candidates to see more minutes, especially with Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) and Bruno Fernando (knee) also shelved.
