Wow, getting lucky with injuries in this one, especially if Sengun is out. Steven Adams always led the league in offensive rebounding though, when he started, and they have a lot of athletes. But without Sengun, Smith and FVV, their scoring will be tough.

Though their defense could be even better, and I think they are already one of the top ranked. I imagine their worst defender starter is FVV. Not sure how good Sengun is on D. He doesn't get a ton of blocks.

I expected Allen out for this one with his knee soreness but Book out is a much bigger **** problem for tonight.

Hopefully Micic can play 15/20 minutes in this one.

KD played 43 minutes yesterday and the Rockets are a young and physical team. He will need to make an outstanding game to win this one.

I would like to see what Micic could do. Have size and good passing ability

I also wish Dunn would go inside sometimes and not just want to shoot 3s
