Clippers guard Chris Paul said he his injured hamstring is improving and he will play in Tuesday's Game 5 matchup at Houston, reports InsideSoCal.com.
"Hamstring is OK," Paul said. "It's good. I'll be on the court [Tuesday]."
When asked if his hamstring was near 100 percent, Paul said it was close.
"Yeah, it's getting there," he said.
Coach Doc Rivers has not discussed a minutes restriction with Paul, but he said he expects Paul to play more than the 26 minutes he played in Game 4.
"My guess is, I'm sure there is some kind of [minutes] limit, but probably he can play more than he played the first two games," Rivers said. "He's feeling a lot better."
The Clippers are 3-point favorites at Houston on Tuesday.
