The Houston Rockets will kick off a three-game Western Conference road trip on Monday night in Utah, and if you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
At first glance, it appears to be a mismatch featuring the No. 4 team in the Western Conference, which has won five straight games, and the last-place Rockets — who have lost their last four. But Houston did win at Salt Lake City last month, which could raise hopes, and the Rockets will enter Monday’s rematch after three straight off days.
More importantly, the Rockets will also have roster reinforcements. Veteran guard Eric Gordon (plantar fasciitis) is expected to rejoin the lineup after missing the last three games, and that should provide useful shooting and defense. Houston also expects to have newcomers Dennis Schroder and Bruno Fernando, each acquired from Boston via a deadline trade, available. Schroder is likely to earn rotation minutes.
Eric Gordon was a full participant in today’s practice per Stephen Silas

FWIW it seems like this is just paperwork stuff that needs to process. Schröder was hanging around the building today, just not able to participate. Rockets coach Stephen Silas said he thinks both Schröder and Fernando will be available to play Monday vs. the Jazz.
