Updating previous reports, Rockets coach Kevin McHale suggested that James Harden (thumb) might be able to play on Tuesday.
When asked whether Harden was sitting out, as was previously reported, McHale replied, "We'll see." He gave the same response when asked whether Jeremy Lin would start at SG in Harden's absence, and it's possible he's just being coy with reporters, but there's at least a chance that Harden will be active. Stay tuned.
