Norman Powell is listed as questionable with right shoulder soreness, and the team will also be without Ben Simmons, Amir Coffey, and Patty Mills. Simmons is out due to left knee injury management, Coffey has left knee inflammation, and Mills is sidelined by an illness.

The Rockets are also dealing with a few injuries. Fred VanVleet, who has struggled with ankle soreness throughout the season, is listed as doubtful due to right ankle issues.

Alperen Sengun, who has been a key player for the Rockets this season, is questionable with lower back soreness.
