The LA Times reports that Coach Alvin Gentry plans to alter his rotation tonight, and it involves more than giving small forward Lamar Odom his first start since regaining his eligibility after serving an eight-game drug suspension.
"We're going to stop giving guys so many consecutive minutes," Gentry said. "I think guys lose their effectiveness. It makes more sense to give Elton Brand a rest with three or four minutes to go in the first quarter [for instance]. And you're not going to see Lamar play as many minutes as he did last year."
Gentry also said he might play Odom some at point guard. Earl Boykins has been Jeff McInnis' backup since Keyon Dooling suffered a sprained ankle Nov. 14 against the Chicago Bulls.

The banged-up Rockets are a team in trouble.
Trailing by as many as 21 points, the Rockets used a three-point barrage to come flying back and get within 2 points, but as has become the norm, they couldn't complete the comeback and fell to the Clippers 90-83 in the Staples Center.
After starting off the season 5-1, the Rockets, who have lost 6 of their last 8, have now slipped to .500 at 7-7.

After playing below par against Portland and sitting out against Seattle, Francis is questionable with plantar fasciaitis against the Clippers on Sunday, according to the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen. Kenny Thomas is also out with the same condition, though he would play in an emergency. The Rockets third-string point guard, Tierre Brown, is on the injured list, leaving Moochie Norris as the starter and Cuttino Mobley, the starting shooting guard, as his backup. Walt Williams filled in for Thomas in the Seattle game.
