Rockets' Ryan Anderson (rest) is out Sunday on second night of back-to-back
Houston Rockets forward Ryan Anderson (rest) will not play Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
Anderson played well in 34 minutes on Saturday, dropping 16 points off the bench. However, with the Rockets as 12-point favorites Sunday versus Atlanta, they won't take any chances with the veteran as he approaches his 30th birthday. P.J. Tucker should play all the minutes he can handle with Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) also out. Joe Johnson and Trevor Ariza could also gain some playing time if the Rockets go small.
Anderson is averaging 18.9 FanDuel points per game this season.
