Clippers' Austin Rivers (hamstring) out for Game 2, doubtful for Game 3

Los Angeles Clippers guard Austin Rivers (hamstring) will not play in Game 2 on Tuesday against the Utah Jazz and he's "probably" out for Friday's Game 3, according to head coach Doc Rivers.

What It Means:

Jamal Crawford logged almost 30 minutes in Game 1 with Rivers out of the lineup and he likely stands to benefit the most. Raymond Felton could also see more opportunity. Rivers was active during shootaround on Saturday, so perhaps he'll be available for Game 4 on the road in Utah.

Crawford went 4-of-12 from the field in Game 1, including misses on all four of his attempts from deep, as he finished with eight points, two rebounds and a block in the loss.
