Ryan Anderson: Averaging 19.6 points in preseason play

James Harden unsurprisingly posted the gaudiest stat line of any of the Rockets (26 points, 15 assists, seven boards), but the team’s two big offseason imports from the Pelicans, Anderson and Eric Gordon (24 points), were both capable sidekicks. This type of outing was nothing new for Anderson, who has been a seamless fit in the Rockets’ up-tempo attack through three preseason games. He’s averaging 19.6 points (on 44.4% shooting), 5.6 rebounds, and 3.0 treys in 30.0 minutes per game in those contests.
