Gasol is considered probable to play Tuesday against the Nuggets, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Gasol joined Derrick Rose in returning to the court Monday night against Utah, and while Rose was limited to 25 minutes, Gasol played 37 and scored 23 points to go with nine rebounds. The "probable" designation is likely more precautionary than anything, and it would be surprising if Gasol isn't on the floor when the game tips at 8:00 PM Central.
