Analysis:

After sitting out the last three games, Deng was a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through and he's officially listed as a game-time decision, thought he belief is that he'll be able to play. "I feel better, it feels good." Deng said. "We've done everything we can to get it to where it needs to be." With Deng presumably back in the mix, Danny Granger's minutes figure to decline.
