If there's one player on the LA Clippers who's deserved some much-needed rest, it's All-Star guard James Harden. Harden has played in all 24 of the Clippers' games this season, averaging 33.9 minutes a game.

After a brutal beatdown by the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night, the Clippers face off against the Houston Rockets tonight. Houston is on a two-game losing streak, but they've had LA's number in both of the games they've played this season. To make matters worse for LA, there's a chance that Harden won't play.

The LA Clippers have listed James Harden as questionable against the Houston Rockets due to right groin soreness. It's the first time Harden has been listed with the injury for the Clippers and not much has been said about it, even during practice on Saturday.
