Rose (hamstring) will play Thursday against the Lakers, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Coach Fred Hoiberg said that Rose is "good to go" for Thursday's tilt in Los Angeles and will start at point guard per usual, barring any setbacks prior to game time. Due to the minor severity of Rose's hamstring injury, it isn't likely the Bulls have any reason to limit his minutes unless the game turns into a blowout.
