Pierce (toe) is available to play in Wednesday's matchup with the Rockets, Dan Woike of the Orange County Register reports.

Analysis:

Though listed as doubtful heading into the evening, Pierce showed enough improvement with his toe as game time approached to give it a go. He'll come off the bench and could see his minutes limited, however, after missing the past three games due to the injury.
