What It Means:

it's just the game notes, so we shouldn't rely too heavily on this, but there hasn't been any indication that Anderson's closing in on a return. He's been ruled out well ahead of game time and is in danger of missing his sixth straight game. It's likely that the Rockets are being cautious given the success of Luc Mbah a Moute, P.J. Tucker and Trevor Ariza in the power forward spot.

If he's able to play, Anderson is projected for 19.5 FanDuel points in Friday's road matchup.
