Pau Gasol out for tonight with tendinitis

[MrVJP]

It's as the title says. He does not box out well, especially against the Rockets.

I see that now
Unfortunately no insightful analysis with them, however.
Rockets hit the glass well vs the Lakers when Pau is on the floor. Hill being in there will ensure Houston does not get as many possessions as they were going to get. Also means the floor will space out a little more when the starters are playing but this means that there will be less spacing when the bench is on the floor if Meeks isn't hitting his shots. Hill and Howard don't catch the ball well when on the floor together- it has to do with the angles of the passes.

Jamison will be bigger beneficiary of Pau's run

Yep agree, thats what I was implying when I said starters spacing will be there; Jamison/Duhon starting.

[MrVJP]

This is also a bit of good news- he needs the rest plus stretch 4s trouble Pau defensively. Will be a big prob vs the thunder though, if he's out then too.
