Houston Rockets injury updates

Russell Westbrook — Quad (Out)
Danuel House Jr. — Toe (Will Play)

Update, Aug. 18 — House is available to play in Game 1 vs. the Thunder on Tuesday evening. He wasn’t listed on the injury report for Monday, so this isn’t too surprising. House will be a trendy value play on DraftKings at $5,700 considering how thin the rotation is right now with Westbrook out.

Update, Aug. 17 — House is not listed on the injury report Monday ahead of Tuesday’s playoff opener vs. the Thunder. So it seems House is good to go for Game 1. Other than Westbrook, the Rockets are expected to have everyone ready for the postseason.

Update, Aug. 16 — Westbrook could miss up to 2-3 games to start the first round due to a quad strain. House is expected to play in Game 1 vs. the Thunder.
