Nuggets reserve Chris Andersen missed the team's Game 4 loss to the Mavericks on Monday night with food poisoning, but is ready for Game 5.

"I feel really good now," Andersen said Tuesday afternoon.

He ate something bad at the team hotel on Monday that left him with severe abdominal cramps and vomiting.

"I'm actually going to have some fresh legs," Andersen said. "I'm just real anxious to get out there on the floor and give it everything I've got."
