Moore (hamstring) is hopeful to return to action by the end of the week, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Moore has been sidelined for five games since hurting his left hamstring March 17 against the Nets. Given Moore's stated return timetable, it appears safe to rule him out for the Bulls' next two contests, scheduled for Tuesday against the Pacers and Thursday against the Rockets. With both Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler having returned to the lineup for a few games now, Moore won't be the beneficiary of many minutes when he returns.
