The Houston Rockets will sit point guard Chris Paul for Thursday’s game against the Detroit Pistons to rest a sore hamstring, according to a report in the Houston Chronicle.

The Rockets are 11-7 in games which Paul has missed. Paul is averaging 18.8 points, 7.9 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game in his first season in Houston.
