</td></tr><tr><td class="bodyCopy">The Bulls will not make a decision on Derrick Rose's (toe) availability until Friday.</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">Consider Rose questionable to face the Celtics. Per beat writer K.C. Johnson, Rose has told people his sprained left big toe is feeling somewhat better. Coach Tom Thibodeau is already on the record saying the MVP was held out on Wednesday as a precaution.

</td></tr><tr><td class="bodyCopy">Andris Biedrins (ankle) is expected to start Friday's game against the Magic.</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">With Kwame Brown out for at least three months, the Warriors are going to need Biedrins badly. The problem is that he's constantly in foul trouble, can't make free throws and disappears on offense. Biedrins is strictly a blocks/boards specialist.

</td></tr><tr><td class="bodyCopy">Marvin Williams (ankle) was on the Hawks TV broadcast during Thursday's game, and said that he thinks he will play on Saturday against the Wolves.</td></tr><tr><td>

</td></tr><tr><td class="vaLink">The Hawks need him and the ankle injury hasn't appeared overly serious, so it makes sense that he will go.
