The Houston Rockets will play the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night in Game 3 of their NBA Playoffs 2015 series. The two teams come into this match up locked at 1-1, and both will know how important this game is in determining who will claim the series and who will go home.

Tonight's big game between the Rockets and Clippers will start at 10.30 p.m. ET and takes place from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.

The game can be watched live on TV on the ESPN network, or online through live stream via the link provided below.

The Clippers managed to put on two strong performances in Houston, and managed to take an equal share of the spoilers even though they had to play both games without Chris Paul.

Now that they are returning home to California, it appears as though they may have more than just home court advantage, as Paul may be back to feature in Game 3 as well.

According to various reports, Matt Barnes has indicated that Paul will make his first appearance in this Western Conference Semi Finals in Game 3.

Barnes has said that the point guard is set to return from his strained hamstring injury that he suffered in Game 7 against the San Antonio Spurs.

Barnes said, "He said he's playing tonight. You hope he's ready. His game is such stop-and-go and such an integral part of our team. I hope he can stay healthy throughout the game. We'll see what he has in store for us."

He added, "Chris is a warrior, which scares all of us. He wanted to get out there in Game 1 and Game 2, and we held him back."

The Clippers won Game 1 by a score of 117-101, and were leading 65-56 at the half way point in Game 2.

But the Rockets finally clicked into gear for the second half to fightback from a 13 point deficit to win the game 115-109.
