The Houston Rockets play the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Tipoff is at 10:30 p.m. ET. Watch the live stream below.
Los Angeles (34-19) snapped their four-game losing streak on Monday in a 115-98 win against the shorthanded Dallas Mavericks. With Clippers star Blake Griffin sidelined with an infection in his elbow, center DeAndre Jordan will be asked to carry a heavier load. He's proven himself capable before, and on Monday he finished with 22 points and a staggering 27 rebounds.
"It's just not done," said coach Doc Rivers, via ESPN. "And nobody notices him. It's amazing to me that no one notices DeAndre Jordan."
Jordan could be in store for another big night on Wednesday, when he faces a Dwight Howard-less Rockets team.
"You never want to see somebody get hurt. At this point, we just need as many wins as we can get," Jordan said. "We've just got to be able to take advantage of everything. Keep working on us. Don't worry about other people."
Jordan, who's averaging 10.5 points and 13.7 rebounds per game, will share the added offensive load with point guard Chris Paul, who's coming off a 25-point and 13-assist game on Monday.
Houston, meanwhile, is 36-16 and continuing to find ways to win without Howard. They're coming off a 127-118 win on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns, thanks in part to star James Harden's 20 fourth-quarter points.
"James played really, really well," coach Kevin McHale said of Harden, who finished with 40 points. "He's been playing at a high level."
