John Wall, Eric Gordon Absent For Monday’s Contest
4 years agoHouston Rockets point guard John Wall (Achilles, knee) and shooting guard/small forward Eric Gordon (rest) are being held out of Monday's game versus the Hornets as the team manages their workload on the first night of a back-to-back. With Tuesday's game against New Orleans happening on national television, the team likely decided to avoid any conflict with sitting top players for such a contest. As for Monday, fantasy managers can expect Victor Oladipo to run the show and see increased upside, while David Nwaba, Ben McLemore, and Jae'sean Tate can all be seen as potential DFS candidates on the wing who will see an expanded role, particularly behind the arc. Anticipate having Wall and Gordon back Tuesday versus the Pelicans.
