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

EDGE Analysis

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.
