Eric Gordon will return to the starting lineup Wednesday against Houston.

Gordon will return to the starting lineup Wednesday against Houston, John Reid of the Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Gordon was moved to the bench for Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies, but he'll return to the starting five Wednesday, as coach Alvin Gentry goes with Gordon and Tyreke Evans as the starting backcourt. Ish Smith will shift to the bench, as will Alexis Ajinca, as Omer Asik moves back into the lineup. Gordon was limited to a season-low 20 minutes Tuesday, but that number should climb back up near 30 Wednesday.
