Joakim Noah: (Hamstring) Expected To Play Saturday

Noah (hamstring) is expected to play in Saturday's opener against the Bucks, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Noah sat out the final two games of the regular season to rest his sore hamstring but there's not much concern moving forward since the rest was just precautionary. The 30-year-old will be playing without a minutes restriction for the first time in a while against the Bucks, although his cap was set around 30-32 minutes per game at the end of the season which is certainly still a hefty workload. He'll look to anchor the Bulls on defense throughout their playoff campaign and should be a serviceable option across all postseason formats.
