Harden (back) went through Wednesday's shootaround but remains a game-time decision, Jonathan Fiegan of the Houston Chronicle reports. Harden has been bothered by tightness in his back, which surfaced during Saturday's win over the Suns. His participation in shootaround is an encouraging sign, and he's probably creeping more toward "probable" than "doubtful" at this point.
