Kevin Durant is looking to lead the Houston Rockets in their first-round series against the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Rockets finished the regular season with a 52-30 record for fourth in the Western Conference. They face the fourth-seeded Lakers, who have home-court advantage in the series.
Game 1 is on Saturday at Crypto.com Arena. The Rockets have submitted their injury report, and there is now some doubt on Durant’s status for the series opener.
Durant did not play in Houston’s final game of the regular season. He sat out against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday for rest purposes. Right now, Durant is dealing with a knee issue.
