Derrick Rose, Taj Gibson Expected To Play Against Raptors
(CBS) Bulls point guard Derrick Rose and forward Taj Gibson both participated in Monday morning's shootaround and are expected to play when the Bulls host the Raptors tonight at the United Center.
Rose has missed the past two games with an illness, while Gibson's sat out two games with a sore right ankle.
Big men Joakim Noah (right ankle) and Pau Gasol (left chest contusion) were both listed on Chicago's injury report Sunday, but they will play Monday night.
Chicago nearing full strength -- only fringe rotation player Doug McDermott is out now, as he's expected to miss about another month with a right knee injury -- comes at an opportune time, as Toronto leads the East at 22-6 and has played consistent basketball all season long.
