Ryan Anderson (ankle) doubtful for Houston on Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Ryan Anderson (ankle) is doubtful to play versus the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night.

What It Means:

Troy Williams has already been announced as the Rockets' starting power forward tonight, so it seems like Anderson won't be playing. James Harden also said during shootaround that he was hopeful Anderson could return for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons, indicating Wednesday was never a realistic possibility.

Tonight versus the Nuggets, numberFire's models project Williams to play 20.1 minutes and record 6.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 3-pointers.
