Derrick Rose vs. Kemba Walker: Reigning NBA most valuable player Rose is nursing a sore lower back, but he only had to play 22 minutes in a blowout of the Hornets Wednesday, so he should be well rested.
Observations
Quite a contrast in records: The Bulls are best in the Eastern Conference at 22-6, while the Bobcats 3-22 is the worst in the NBA.
Roses penetration sets up the Bulls with great 3-point opportunities. Theyre making 38.3 percent of their attempts from outside the arc.
Tap-ins
Bulls shooting guard Richard Hamilton has been out with a right thigh injury.
Bobcats forward Corey Maggette (hamstring strain) practiced fully Thursday. Theres some chance he could play tonight, but hed more likely return Saturday vs. the Clippers or Monday vs. the 76ers .
The Bobcats gave the Bulls a tough game in Chicago earlier this season, eventually losing 95-89.
