No one thought it would have been even remotely possible a week ago, but the Los Angeles Lakers will have the opportunity to sweep the Houston Rockets out of the first round of the playoffs on Sunday in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series.

They got to this point with a gritty 112-108 overtime win in Game 3 on Friday after trailing by six points with less than 30 seconds left in regulation. Los Angeles was a big underdog coming into this series, but now, the Rockets are the ones who are up against it.

Austin Reaves was listed as questionable for Game 3, but he ultimately didn't play due to the oblique strain he sustained on April 2. He's listed as questionable again. ESPN insider Shams Charania said prior to Game 3 that if Reaves couldn't play in Game 3, he would play in Game 4. The rising star guard is again listed as questionable.

Luka Doncic will still be out with his hamstring strain.

After sitting out Game 1 due to a knee contusion, Rockets superstar Kevin Durant played in Game 2 but missed Game 3 with an ankle sprain. Rockets coach Ime Udoka said Durant was doing better on Saturday, but the future Hall of Famer is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game, per ESPN.

If Houston manages to win Game 4, Game 5 will take place on Wednesday back at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
