The Rockets host the Clippers on Friday and the Blazers on Tuesday. They don’t play after that until next Friday, Nov. 2, when they begin a five-game road trip. This gives Harden over a week to rest and heal.
The Rockets have begun the season 1-3. Harden has averaged 28.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game this season.
