Starting Lineups: Nov. 28
It's Black Friday, and for those who can do without the gauntlet of a shopping mall, the NBA has a matinee on tap with the Chicago Bulls visiting the Boston Celtics.
Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah are probable for Chicago. The Celtics have lost five of their last six, and the Bulls are 2-3 so far on their annual circus road trip, when the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus take over United Center.
