Ryan Anderson: Expected to play Friday

Anderson missed Wednesday’s game against the Jazz with back tightness after
leaving Monday’s game against the Spurs early with the ailment. But the power
forward appears as though he is feeling healthy and set to make his return
Friday after going through morning shootaround. In his absence Wednesday, the
Rockets elected to go with a three-guard starting lineup with Eric Gordon, so
Anderson’s return would send the shooting guard back to the bench.
