6 years agoHouston Rockets point guard/shooting guard Chris Paul (rest) will not play versus the Cavaliers on Saturday. The Rockets are playing back-to-back games so coach Mike D'antoni must of decided to give the 33-year-old a break. He is averaging nearly 35 minutes a game, which is his most in four years. It is the first game that Paul has missed this season for a reason other than league suspension. Eric Gordon will start in Paul's place. Gordon has struggled shooting the ball this year. He is averaging 15 points along with four rebounds, two assists along with 2.2 triples in his previous five starts this year.--Daniel Benjamin
