Derrick Rose: 'Good to go' Tuesday

Rose (ankle) will play in Tuesday's game against Portland, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

As was expected after putting in full practices Sunday and Monday, Rose will be in the lineup Tuesday, marking his return from a two-game absence. With Rose back, the Bulls will likely shift Kirk Hinrich to the bench, and at this point, it doesn't appear Rose will face any sort of minutes restriction. The former MVP is averaging 13.6 points and six assists per game this season, but he's shooting just 37.7 percent from the field and a paltry 15 percent from three-point range.
