Pau Gasol: (Hamstring) Expected To Miss Game 5

Gasol (hamstring) is expected to miss Tuesday's Game 5, ESPN reports.

Analysis:

After missing Sunday's Game 4, Gasol was very limited at practice Monday and was unable to participate in any basketball activities. As such, the team is preparing to play without Gasol, meaning Taj Gibson would make another start at power forward. Of course, there is the chance Gasol could show unexpected improvement by Tuesday afternoon, so be sure to check back before tip-off for a final ruling on his status.
