Eric Gordon leads the Houston Rockets in scoring on opening night

Eric Gordon led the Houston Rockets with 21 points and 50 percent shooting from the field on Wednesday against the Pelicans. He was only 2-for-9 from three-point land, but was 5-for-5 from the free throw line.

Fantasy Impact:

Gordon led the team in scoring while taking the second most shots on the night with 14 (only behind James Harden's 15 shots). Outside of the scoring there really was nothing else there from a fantasy perspective as he only added three rebounds, one assist and no steals or blocks. The concern about Gordon moving forward is that both he and Carmelo Anthony have similar games - shooters that don't add much else to the stat sheet - and that could see them eating into each other's playing time moving forward.
