James Harden (thigh) reportedly sitting for Rockets again Monday
Houston Rockets guard/forward James Harden (thigh) is expected to remain out Monday against the Utah Jazz, reports Tim MacMahon of ESPN.
What It Means:
Harden, who sat out Sunday's game, was upgraded from doubtful to questionable for the second leg of the back-to-back set. Russell Westbrook (rest) has already been ruled out and Clint Capela (heel) is doubtful, so the Rockets are likely going to be missing three starters. Eric Gordon could be in for a busy night. Danuel House, Austin Rivers, and Ben McLemore should also see a boost.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Rockets have the second-lowest implied total on Monday's six-game slate (104.5 points).
