Ryan Anderson

Ryan Anderson (back) doubtful for the Rockets on Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Ryan Anderson (back) is doubtful to suit up against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Anderson was forced to make an early exit with lower back tightness on Monday, and at the moment it looks like this may turn into a multi-game issue. Look for Sam Dekker to see a significant increase in minutes in Anderson can't go on Wednesday.

In the three games he has played without Anderson this season, Dekker has averaged 14.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 28.3 minutes per game with a 19.7% usage rate. He ranks 100th in the NBA with a 0.7 nERD on the season.
