Gasol may remain on a minutes restriction Wednesday against the Knicks, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Gasol posted a double-double in just 24 minutes of action Tuesday night against the Kings, and while the Bulls haven't set a concrete playing time cap, the expectation is that Gasol will have his minutes monitored for the next few games. This comes after the veteran sat out four games prior to the matchup with Sacramento due to soreness and inflammation in his right knee. As he proved Tuesday, Gasol can still be a valuable fantasy commodity in reduced minutes, but the restriction makes him a riskier play than normal.
