The Chicago Bulls are very motivated to beat the Orlando Magic tonight after getting embarrassed by the Magic earlier this season, and it appears Chicago will have star point guard Derrick Rose for the game. Bet on this matchup on Bodog’s NBA odds.
Rose, likely the NBA MVP favorite right now, missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with what was diagnosed with two stomach ulcers. But Rose did participate in Friday's morning shootaround and says he should be able to go. Officially Rose is a game-time decision.
“It still hurts, but this is a game that I love, so I should be able to play,” he said. “I've been eating portions of things, but I haven't had a whole meal in three or four days. … I will have to see when I get down [to the United Center]. More than likely I am [playing].”
