ANALYSIS: The Rockets look like they may be without one of their key rotation players for the rest of the semi-finals. House Jr. missed Game 3 with a personal reasons designation and the NBA is now looking into this absence. House Jr. was key for the Rockets this season as he spaced the floor well and knocked down timely threes. The Rockets will get back Robert Covington however, who left Game 3 early with a head injury.

Danuel House Jr. averaged 10.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game for Houston this season.
