Eric Gordon is dealing with back tightness and is questionable for Friday night against the Nuggets.

Gordon has been in and out of the Rockets lineup over the past week and doesn’t seem to be completely healthy. If Gordon can’t go, the Rockets will look to Gerald Green to replace his scoring. Gordon has been a top-100 player on the season, but so much of his value depends on the health of Chris Paul and James Harden. As long as the Rockets stars are running at full speed, Gordon’s ceiling will be limited should he return to the lineup.
