Gasol (knee) is hopeful to play in Saturday's matchup with the Magic, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Gasol is still being listed as questionable to play, but the center's own positive outlook regarding his status is obviously a good sign. The Bulls will likely wait until warmups before clearing Gasol to play, so he could end up being a game-time decision for the contest. Taj Gibson, Nikola Mirotic, and Bobby Portis would likely pick up more court time if Gasol remains out.
