Report: Harden fights flu, but a go in Game 6


Heading into Thursday's Game 6 matchup against the Clippers, Rockets guard James Harden is still feeling the effects of the flu, sources told ESPN.com.

Harden was also dealing with the flu when he scored 26 points in the Game 5 win Tuesday. While Harden is still dealing with the flu, the sources indicated his condition has improved and he intends to play Thursday.

"He looked OK," coach Kevin McHale said Wednesday. "He had a little bit of a cough. We just had a meeting and watched some film. We didn't do anything. He looked OK."

The Rockets are 8 1/2-point underdogs to the Clippers on Thursday.
