Serge Ibaka will be held out of Tuesday's tilt with the Spurs in order to rest.

Ibaka will be held out of Tuesday's tilt with the Spurs in order to rest, Erik Horne of The Oklahoman reports.

Analysis:

Ibaka did not make the trip to San Antonio along with fellow teammates Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook as they'll get a night off in order to rest up before the playoffs get underway later in the week. The Thunder have already secured the third seed in the Western Conference so many reserve players will see expanded roles on Tuesday night. Look for Enes Kanter and Nick Collison to carry most of the power forward minutes in Ibaka's absence.
