The Houston Rockets lost their 13th straight game Wednesday night, as James Harden made his return to town with the Brooklyn Nets. An 11-23 record lines them up as a trade deadline seller, with P.J. Tucker as an ongoing popular target for contending teams. Now, Eric Gordon seems to be gaining some steam on the trade market himself.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, there’s a “great deal of interest” around the league in Gordon.

Gordon has missed the last two games with a left knee issue, but he’ll get the All-Star break to rest now. He has also missed a bit of time with leg and groin issues this season. Durability continues to be a thing for him.

In 26 games he has played this season, Gordon has scored 20 or more points 14 times. That has helped yield his highest scoring average (17.8 points per game) since 2017-18, with his best field goal percentage (43.7 percent) since 2013-14 with New Orleans. Over 12 games in February, he averaged 18.8 points per game. Narrow to the first 11, before his recent knee issue seemingly occurred, and his scoring average goes to 20.1 per game over that span.

Any potential trade involving Gordon has to come with mention of his contract. He is in the first year of a four-year, $75.5 million deal, though the fourth year is not guaranteed. He’s making $16.9 million this year, then he’ll make $18.2 million in 2021-22 and $19.6 million in 2022-23. Matching that money will be an issue for some teams. Taking on two more years and nearly $38 million is also a potential problem as the Rockets entertain offers.

Gordon’s shooting and scoring ability will be hold value to contending teams, provided he is fully healthy coming out of the break. The Rockets are surely hoping he gets back on a warm streak in the couple weeks before the Mar. 25 deadline.
