Ryan Anderson

Rockets will play Ryan Anderson (ankle) for limited minutes against Detroit

Houston Rockets forward/center Ryan Anderson (ankle) will return to the rotation against the Detroit Pistons on Friday, but he will have his minutes limited.

What It Means:

An ankle injury has sidelined Anderson since March 24 (missing six games), so expect him to see only as many minutes as he needs to shake off any rust, as the Rockets are all but locked in to the number-three seed in the Western Conference as the regular season winds down.

numberFire's models project Anderson for 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 3.1 3-pointers in 27.3 minutes of action against the Pistons.
