Brooklyn Nets vs Houston Rockets Team News

Brooklyn Nets

Kevin Durant's absence hasn't hurt the Brooklyn Nets in the same way a 2-time Finals MVP would other teams. The Nets have won 7 of the last 8 fixtures with Durant sidelined and the former MVP will have to miss out on his All-Star captaincy as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

The Brooklyn Nets have recently benefited from their squad depth, with the likes of Bruce Brown Jr., Nicolas Claxton and Landry Shamet putting in huge performances. Jeff Green and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot were sidelined on Monday and will likely be game-time decisions in Houston.

Injured: Kevin Durant

Doubtful: Jeff Green, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot

Unavailable: None

Houston Rockets

Houston Rockets fell by 20 points to the Chicago Bulls

The Houston Rockets' season has been marred recently by Christian Wood's injury and the inability to have both John Wall and Victor Oladipo on the floor at the same time. The times didn't get any easier either for the Rockets, who watched Danuel House Jr. leave the floor on Monday with a right knee contusion and not return.

The Houston Rockets have now dropped 12-straight games - the longest losing streak in the #NBA this season and a team worst since losing 15-straight during the 2001-02 season. pic.twitter.com/AIS92iHmyk

Christian Wood's injury has meant the Houston Rockets have lacked height in the paint, though their defensive rating has remained reasonably acceptable, at 7th-best in the league. The center is unlikely to return for another couple of weeks while Dante Exum remains out permanently.

Eric Gordon is listed as questionable after missing out on Monday, as too is back-up forward Rodion Kurucs.

Injured: Christian Wood, Dante Exum

Doubtful: Danuel House Jr., Eric Gordon, Rodion Kurucs
