Gasol (hamstring) will play and start in Thursday's Game 6, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Gasol starting moves Taj Gibson back into a bench role after starting the previous two games. While Gasol has stated that he still is not 100 percent, it appears as if he is healthy enough to start and play a decent amount of minutes in a must-win game for the Bulls.
