Once again, it feels imperative that we start with the injury report. The Rockets have not played a game with 100% of their expected roster, and that trend continues tonight. Danuel House Jr. is having back issues so he will miss his second consecutive game. Ben McLemore and K.J. Martin are cleared to play, but will not travel with the team to Indiana in order to improve conditioning. That information is per Jonathan Feigen. That means more minutes for Jae’Sean Tate and David Nwaba.
The Indiana Pacers are missing T.J. Warren, who is out with a stress fracture.
