Rockets explain why the value of PJ Tucker goes beyond statistics

Going solely by statistics, veteran forward PJ Tucker is having his worst season of four years with the Rockets. The 35-year-old is averaging fewer points (5.3) and rebounds (4.6) than in any of his prior Houston seasons, and his net rating and defensive rating are last among rotation players.
