use our depth and not have to rely on him as much.
Kevin Durant will not play the Rockets' next game. Ime Udoka said the plan was to shut him down at halftime, but Durant wanted more reps with Fred VanVleet. The bigger aim: cut his minutes after a heavy load last year and "use our depth and not have to rely on him as much."
