Rockets' James Harden: Will play Wednesday vs. Nuggets

Harden (illness) isn't listed on the Rockets' injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Analysis:

Harden was sidelined for Sunday's win over the Suns while he battled a case of the flu, but it looks like two days off in between have provided sufficient time for him to recover. After missing his first game of the season, look for Harden to have plenty of motivation in his return to the court as he looks to strengthen his case for the league MVP award before the regular season draws to a close. Harden's return would likely result in Troy Williams moving back to the bench.
