Ryan Anderson (back) expected to play for Rockets versus Chicago

Houston Rockets forward/center Ryan Anderson (back) appears likely to play Friday night versus the Chicago Bulls.

What It Means:

"I'm feeling a whole lot better. Each day I feel more and more loose," said Anderson on Friday after shootaround. He's on track to play after missing Wednesday's contest. Anderson's return means less run for Lou Williams, Eric Gordon, Trevor Ariza and Sam Dekker.

numberFire's models project Anderson for 11.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 2.8 3-pointers in 26.1 minutes on Friday night.
