Rockets' James Harden (hamstring) to be on 24-25 minute restriction in return

Houston Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni said guard James Harden would return with a 24-to-25 minute limit on Thursday, reports Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.

What It Means:

Harden is probable to play Thursday, so long as he suffers no setbacks in practice. However, he'll be limited, at least in his first game back. That leaves the door open for Chris Paul to carry the offense and Eric Gordon to see minutes in the mid-30s off the bench. Gerald Green may take the biggest hit of anyone in Houston.

numberFire's models had Harden down for 36.5 minutes and 53.5 FanDuel points before the announcement. His Rockets host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night.
