Rivers has been struggling with the hamstring injury toward the end of the year. Rivers is having a career year where he played in 74 games making 29 starts.
He averaged a career high 12 points per game while shooting a career high 37 percent from behind the three point line.
Los Angeles is looking for a boost defensively with Rivers’ return. Joe Johnson has been having a field day in the series and Rivers can help that issue.
