Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon is "a lock" to be traded, according to ESPN's Zach Lowe. The franchise is hoping to secure a first-round pick for the veteran, who is coming off a 2021-22 season where he averaged a career-low 13.4 points. However, the 33-year-old shot 41.2% from deep, the second-best mark since entering the league in 2008. Nonetheless, Gordon's fantasy upside is limited if he remains in Houston. But his potential could rise if he ends up elsewhere in 2022-23. His efficient shooting percentage from behind the arc should also benefit category managers, assuming he mirrors the production of previous seasons.

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon could be on the move this offseason. Houston has already made one move, sending Christian Wood to the Dallas Mavericks. In exchange, the Rockets received four players and the No. 26 overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft. Apparently, the Rockets aren't done trading as Gordon is on the trade block. This doesn't come as a surprise considering the Rockets are in rebuild mode. However, it could be tough for the Rockets to get the first-round pick in exchange for Gordon. The veteran guard has put together solid play during his career, but injuries continue to sideline him for long periods of time. It's unlikely any organization is willing to trade a first round pick on a risky veteran such as Gordon.

Houston Rockets guards Dennis Schroder (shoulder) and Eric Gordon (groin) have been ruled out for the rest of the season. They will join fellow teammate Christian Wood (hamstring) on the sideline for the last few games. This isn't a shocking move considering the Rockets are tied for the worst record in the game. They want to give their young players more chances and hopefully get in better position for the draft. Josh Christopher could be a sneaky option after he dropped a 20-point performance during his last game. Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. will be asked to do the heavy lifting on offense for the rest of the season.

The Houston Rockets have ruled out guards Eric Gordon (groin) and Dennis Schroder (shoulder) for Monday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs. This will be Gordon's second consecutive game on the sidelines due to right groin soreness. Schroder, meanwhile, logged 29 minutes in the team's most recent game on Saturday and compiled 10 points, eight assists and four steals. However, left shoulder soreness is keeping him out of Monday's contest. Rookies Josh Christopher and Daishen Nix figure to see extra minutes off the bench with Gordon and Schroder out, but neither player warrants attention for fantasy purposes.

Houston Rockets small forward Eric Gordon (illness) has been deemed questionable to participate in Monday's contest vs. Washington. Gordon has missed the past four games due to an illness, with Garrison Mathews, Josh Christopher, and Dennis Schroder all seeing elevated offensive duties in the veteran's absence. While Gordon has shot a career-best 47.4 percent from the field this year, his scoring average has dipped to 13.8 points per night, his lowest since 2014-15. While he figures to hold a solid floor when active, Houston has prioritized development, which could cap Gordon in the DFS market. Fantasy managers will want to check back on his status prior to tip-off.

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns due to a non-COVID illness. Gordon missed the team's most recent game on Sunday with right knee tendinitis. The tendinitis had initially led to him being listed as questionable for Wednesday, but instead it's apparently the illness that is keeping him out. Garrison Mathews and Josh Christopher are the two primary players who should benefit from Gordon's absence. Expect Mathews to be in the starting five for the game. However, neither player has shown much promise from a fantasy perspective lately.

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns. The 33-year-old is currently hampered by right knee tendinitis. The injury caused him to miss the team's most recent game on Sunday. With Gordon out on Sunday, Garrison Mathews logged 29 minutes, but scored just seven points and had an empty stat sheet. Josh Christopher, meanwhile logged 26 minutes and went for 13 points and five boards. Neither player is particularly enticing for fantasy purposes if Gordon remains out on Wednesday.

Houston Rockets small forward Eric Gordon (hamstring) has not been listed on the team's injury report, allowing him to suit up for Wednesday's contest against the Lakers. Gordon could be in for a substantial offensive workload with four contributing members of Houston's rotation all questionable (Christian Wood, Dennis Schroder, Garrison Mathews, Jae'Sean Tate). While Gordon's PPG average has dipped to 13.9 this year, he has enjoyed something of a revival from behind the arc, where he is knocking down threes at a 41.1% clip, the second-best rate of his career. In two prior meetings with L.A. this season, Gordon has combined for 30 points and to shoot 6-for-8 from deep.

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (groin) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. It's the second night of a back-to-back set, so the Rockets will give the veteran guard the night off. Garrison Mathews (ankle) is expected to slide into the starting five with Gordon sidelined. Although, Mathews is questionable for this contest, so Josh Christopher could be asked to pick up the slack. Neither Mathews or Christopher are strong fantasy options for Wednesday's slate.

Houston Rockets small forward Eric Gordon (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest against the Clippers due to a sore right groin. Gordon won't play on the second leg of a back-to-back, having fired up a season-high 24 field goal attempts in Wednesday's loss to Phoenix. Gordon's absence paves the way for Garrison Mathews to draw starting duties, thereby elevating his DFS upside. When healthy, Gordon can be viewed as a consistent source of three-pointers, operating as one of Houston's primary scorers. His next chance to take the floor comes next Friday vs. Orlando.

Houston Rockets small forward Eric Gordon (heel) has been cleared to return to action for Monday's game against the Jazz. Gordon had missed Houston's past three outings with a heel ailment, which allowed Garrison Mathews to slide into a larger offensive role; with the veteran sharpshooter back, Mathews figures to see his DFS appeal correspondingly slide. Gordon enters play Monday shooting a career-best 49.1 percent from the floor overall, including a gaudy 42.7 percent from deep. The 33-year-old continues to carry perpetual season-long appeal in category formats due to his propensity to knock down triples.

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He has missed each of the last three games due to plantar fasciitis. However, he was able to practice on Saturday without any issues. The Rockets are likely going to wait until closer to game time before making a final decision. Garrison Mathews and Josh Christopher stand to lose value once Gordon returns. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Monday for more information.

Houston Rockets small forward Eric Gordon (heel) was able to suit up for Saturday's practice and did not face any limitations, a strong step in the right direction as it pertains to his availability for Monday's game against Utah. Gordon, whom the Rockets held onto through the Trade Deadline, has missed the past three outings due to a heel ailment. Garrison Mathews has stepped into a larger role without Gordon in the mix, although he's likely to slide back to the second unit upon the veteran's return. Gordon enters Saturday ranked eighth in the league in three-point percentage (42.7%), making him a must-own season-long commodity in category formats.

Houston Rockets small forward Eric Gordon (heel) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Toronto due to a sore left heel. There was much speculation around Gordon's status leading into the Trade Deadline, but it appears that he will remain with the Rockets for the time being. Enjoying something of a career renaissance this season, Gordon has shot 42.7 percent from behind the arc en route to averaging 14.2 PPG. Overall, his 49.2% shooting percentage this season is on pace to be a career best. With him out of the mix, Garrison Mathews and Josh Christopher are intriguing DFS assets. Gordon's next chance to suit up comes Monday vs. the Jazz.

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon (heel) is out for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans. Gordon will miss the Rockets' final game prior to the NBA's Trade Deadline on Thursday, where the 33-year-old has been involved in a variety of trade speculation and is a very strong candidate to be dealt to a new team as the Rockets will be sellers. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should hold Gordon on their roster as the veteran guard will continue to contribute with three-pointers made and points scored, while potentially joining a contending team in the coming days.

Houston Rockets small forward Eric Gordon (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game vs. Philadelphia due to a tight right groin. Gordon remains a premier season-long asset for those in search of three-pointers in categories formats, while his absence opens the door for Garrison Mathews and Josh Christopher to play larger scoring roles on the wing. Despite his scoring average dipping to 14.4 PPG, Gordon is knocking down triples at a 43.6 percent clip, his highest mark since 2014-15. (His overall shooting percentage -- 48.9% -- is on pace to be the best of his 14-year career.) The next chance for the veteran to return to action comes Wednesday against the Spurs.

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (hamstring) will be available for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He is back in the rotation after taking a rest day to help heal his lingering hamstring issue. The Rockets could certainly use Gordon's help with Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood suspended for this game. That being said, Gordon should have a bigger role than normal on Monday. He could be an attractive streaming option or DFS choice for Monday's slate.

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It shouldn't really surprise anyone that Gordon is sitting this one out while he deals with a groin issue. In the meantime, Josh Christopher and Armoni Brooks should be asked to play more minutes. Neither have great streaming value and can be ignored in most fantasy formats. Jae'Sean Tate is the guard/forward worth rostering in Houston and he could have an extended role on Saturday.

Houston Rockets guards Eric Gordon (groin) and Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This seems like a rest day more than anything for Gordon. Fantasy managers should expect him to be back on the court for Thursday's contest. Porter has missed six straight games and it's uncertain when he'll get back on the court. In the meantime, Jae'Sean Tate, Garrison Mathews and Armoni Brooks should benefit with these two sidelined. Brooks has been picking up his play recently and could be worth snagging as a streaming option in the short term.

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon made five triples and hit 10-for-16 overall from the field during a 32-point effort in Monday's win over Atlanta. He was 7-for-9 at the foul line and also contributed with three rebounds, three assists and one steal. Gordon was slowed down by Milwaukee last week, but he's been scoring at a very good clip in recent games and will look to make noise again against Cleveland in the next matchup. It will be a tough spot for him, but the next two games against New York and Detroit should give Gordon a good opportunity to stay hot. Both sides struggle defensively and the Knicks give up a lot of three-pointers on a nightly basis, which is Gordon's specialty.
