Anderson (elbow) aims to play Friday against the Magic, John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Anderson sat out the final two games prior to the All-Star break, but he's on track to play Friday, barring a setback. Anthony Davis (shoulder), who also missed two games before the break, is aiming to play Friday as well, so the Pelicans will be close to full strength - Jrue Holiday (leg) remains sidelined with a stress injury - as they attempt to end a three-game losing skid.
