The Rockets-Jazz game tips at 8 p.m. CST and can be viewed or streamed via AT&T SportsNet Southwest and NBA League Pass.
At first glance, it appears to be a mismatch featuring the No. 4 team in the Western Conference, which has won five straight games, and the last-place Rockets — who have lost their last four. But Houston did win at Salt Lake City last month, which could raise hopes, and the Rockets will enter Monday’s rematch rested after three consecutive off days.
More importantly, the Rockets will also have roster reinforcements. Veteran guard Eric Gordon (plantar fasciitis) is expected to rejoin the lineup after missing the last three games, and that should provide useful shooting and defense. Houston also expects to have newcomers Dennis Schroder and Bruno Fernando, each acquired from Boston via a deadline trade, available. Schroder is likely to earn rotation minutes.
FWIW it seems like this is just paperwork stuff that needs to process. Schröder was hanging around the building today, just not able to participate. Rockets coach Stephen Silas said he thinks both Schröder and Fernando will be available to play Monday vs. the Jazz.
