The Los Angeles Lakers will try to sweep the Houston Rockets in their first-round playoff series. The Lakers will advance to the second round with one more victory. Kevin Durant will be sidelined in Game 4 for the Rockets — the third game he has missed in the series.

LeBron James has helped lead the way for the Lakers, who hold a 3-0 lead in the series against Houston. Los Angeles has played throughout the series without guards Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic. Doncic was ruled out for Game 4, but Reaves could be a game-time decision.

LeBron James made his NBA debut in 2003, when the league looked completely different. Twenty-three seasons later, he's still playing and still chasing records at 41 years old.

The Los Angeles Lakers meet the Houston Rockets in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series. LeBron James and the Lakers won the first two games in L.A. The series moves to Houston for Games 3 and 4. Austin Reaves is questionable to return for the Lakers. Kevin Durant is also questionable to play for the Rockets.

Both the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets may be without multiple key players in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series on Sunday.

Kevin Durant is not expected to play in Game 4, as the Houston Rockets try to avoid a sweep by the Los Angeles Lakers in their NBA Playoffs series on Sunday.

The Houston Rockets announced their starting lineup for Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers following a final Kevin Durant injury update.

Houston is down 3–0 to Los Angeles in the series, and Durant’s only played in one game.

As Los Angeles stands on the verge of a historic first-round blowout, the decision to play a recovering Austin Reaves remains a dangerous gamble.
