March 26--Pau Gasol returned from sitting one game with a swollen right knee for Saturday's game against the banged-up Magic.
The Bulls started Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Mike Dunleavy, Taj Gibson and Gasol for just the fourth time this season. That lineup has gone 2-1.
It's a golden opportunity for the Bulls, who are facing a Magic team finishing a back-to-back and without Victor Oladipo, Nikola Vucevic and Ersan Ilyasova.
Coach Fred Hoiberg said Gasol would play about 25 minutes as he remains on a minutes restriction.
