Rockets' Ryan Anderson (illness) practicing, expected to play Saturday
Houston Rockets forward Ryan Anderson is practicing Friday and is expected to start Saturday, according to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.
Feigen said that the Rockets "expect all hands on deck" Saturday, which suggests that both Anderson and Eric Gordon will return from one-game absences. For Anderson, he was dealing with an illness but his practice participation today bodes well for him playing tomorrow. P.J. Tucker, who started in his place Wednesday, is likely to return to the bench as Luc Mbah a Moute and Nene see fewer minutes on Saturday.
Set to square off with the New York Knicks, Anderson is projected for 15.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 25.6 FanDuel points in the matchup.
