With the Houston Rockets avoiding a sweep and extending the series, Game 5 is now set for Wednesday night, and the outcome could come down to which stars are able to return.
For the Los Angeles Lakers, Austin Reaves was listed as questionable for the second straight game while recovering from a Grade 2 left oblique strain, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN, but he did not play on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Kevin Durant missed his third game of the series, and second in a row, for Houston due to a bone bruise in his sprained left ankle.
Head coach Ime Udoka said there is still a chance Durant could return at some point in the series, per Will Guillory of The Athletic.
