Ryan Anderson

Rockets will limit Ryan Anderson to just 15 minutes versus Detroit

Houston Rockets forward Ryan Anderson (ankle) will be limited to 15 minutes in the first half and then call it a night against the Detroit Pistons on Friday.

What It Means:

Anderson has missed the past six games with the ankle injury but is looking to work off some rust and stay fresh for the postseason. Lou Williams, Eric Gordon, and Trevor Ariza will all see a few less minutes with Anderson back, albeit in a limited fashion, on Friday.

Anderson has posted 13.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.8 three-pointers per game while owning a 1.9 nERD rating -- ranking him 85th among 484 NBA players.
