Rockets plan for James Harden (hamstring) to return Thursday night

According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, Houston Rockets guard James Harden is set to return Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

What It Means:

Harden's missed seven games since going down with a Grade 2 strain of his right hamstring. He is officially listed as questionable, but he's expected to return, barring a setback in Wednesday's practice session. The Rockets went 4-3 without one of the league's leading MVP candidates. Chris Paul will share the offensive workload with Harden while Eric Gordon moves back to the Houston bench.

In his return, Harden's projected to play 36.5 minutes and tally 53.5 FanDuel points on Thursday night.
