Rockets unlikely to have Paul for OKC matchup

Houston Rockets guard Chris Paul is doubtful for the team's Christmas night game against the Thunder in Oklahoma City due to a left adductor strain.

If he doesn't play, it will be the second consecutive game missed for Paul, who exited the Rockets' loss Wednesday to the Los Angeles Lakers early in the fourth quarter after suffering the injury.

Before Wednesday's game, the Rockets were 15-0 this season when Paul played.

Houston has lost its last two games after a 14-game winning streak that started when Paul returned after a monthlong absence due to a left knee contusion.
