The good news is that James Ennis is expected to suit up for the Rockets on Friday night after missing the last two games. The bad news is that James Harden is doubtful to return on Friday and is more likely to play Saturday against the Bulls.
The Rockets have struggled to find their rhythm all season, but they have looked really bad in the last two games without Harden, losing by 20 and 19 points.
The Rockets need their MVP back, but they don’t want to rush his return. Harden missed seven games last season due to a Grade-2 hamstring strain.
