Bayless (knee) will be available for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Analysis:

Bayless is coming off a five-game absence with a right knee sprain, but will look for limited minutes off the bench Monday. His role has fluctuated throughout the season, even when fully healthy, so there's no guarantee the veteran will be immediately worked back into the backcourt rotation of O.J. Mayo, Michael Carter-Williams, and Khris Middleton.
