4 years agoHouston Rockets small forward Danuel House Jr. (back) will be unavailable to suit up Monday against the Mavericks due to a back ailment. House had started each of Houston's first four contests, with his absence paving the way for Eric Gordon to rejoin the first unit and see increased DFS intrigue. Traditionally known for his long-range marksmanship, House has been cold to kick-off the year, knocking down just 20 percent of his looks from behind the arc. Ben McLemore (COVID-19 protocols) is expected back Monday, as he figures to fill-in for House as a long range shooter. House's next chance to take the floor comes Wednesday versus Indiana.--Jesse Borek
