Although the Houston Rockets have a superstar duo in Russell Westbrook and James Harden, it’s clear they’ll need Eric Gordon in order to have any chance of winning a title. Gordon has proven his value and worth on numerous occasions, as he finished the Rockets’ last postseason series as the second-leading scorer, behind only James Harden.
During that series against the Golden State Warriors, Gordon averaged 20 points per game, while also shooting 88.9 percent from the free throw line. During the Rockets’ 2019 postseason run, EG was also the second-leading scorer, as he averaged 17.
