Bulls' Gasol will play Tuesday vs. Nuggets

It's a good sign when your previously injured players can regularly play back-to-back games again, and in the Chicago Bulls' case it's something of a necessity Tuesday against the Nuggets in Denver. With Joakim Noah sidelined with a knee injury, frontcourt mate Pau Gasol will suit up for the second straight night, along with point guard Derrick Rose.

Gasol returned from a three-game absence Monday against the Utah Jazz to score 23 points and pull down 9 rebounds in a 97-95 Bulls win.
