With losses in five of their first six games, the young Houston Rockets (1-5) continue a four-game road trip with Sunday night’s game at Phoenix (4-1).
The schedule doesn’t get any easier for Houston, and the injury report isn’t helping, either. Since the Rockets also play Monday against the Clippers in Los Angeles as part of a back-to-back, veteran guard Eric Gordon is listed as out for injury maintenance on Sunday’s front end, as he does for half of most back-to-backs.
