For a short while, we got to see a glimpse of the Rockets at full strength. With 11 players worthy of getting court time, Mike D’Antoni was electing to systematically rest certain players in the second unit in an effort to both keep his players fresh and get everyone playing time.
Unfortunately, a few players have suffered minor injuries, so the Rockets will travel to Fiserv Forum shorthanded.
Gerald Green has a strained adductor and will not play in Milwaukee. He is expected to miss at least a week. Kenneth Faried will also sit this one out due to a sore right knee.
