7 years agoHouston Rockets guard James Harden (hamstring) will return to action on Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves but will be on a minutes restriction. Head coach Mike D'Antoni has previously said that Harden will likely be limited to 24 to 25 minutes in his return. The Beard last played on New Year's Eve when he dropped 40 points in 41 minutes on the Los Angeles Lakers. In limited action, he won't get close to his season averages of 32.2 points, 9.1 assists and 5.0 rebounds, but he should still be productive against a team that has allowed 104.8 points per game this season.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
