Gasol has been ruled out by the Bulls with his left hamstring strain for Game 5. That means he will have missed the last two games of the series. He could possibly be back for Game 6 on Thursday in Chicago, but that's a big if right now. (K.C. Johnson on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
The Bulls missed Gasol's presence in the paint in Game 4 as Taj Gibson and Nikola Mirotic combined for only nine points in his place. Gasol has averaged 15.1 PPG and 9.9 RPG in nine appearances this postseason. Gibson and Mirotic will asked to do different things, but overall they need to try and fill Gasol's void. Which could be a tough task on the road.
