Carlos Boozer GTD, Joakim Noah doubtful
Carlos Boozer - F - Chicago Bulls
Feb. 4, 2013 - 2:30 PM ET

Carlos Boozer (hamstring) and Joakim Noah (foot) are both game-time decisions against the Pacers on Monday.

Boozer has the better shot to play, as Noah doesn't expect to be able to go tonight. Noah previously said he wasn't sure how long he was going to be out, adding that he wasn't going to rush until he was 100 percent and said on Monday that he didn't think he'd be able "to go." The Bulls have been cautious with Boozer's hammy, but he warmed up on Saturday and could be ready to go on Monday. Either way, Taj Gibson is locked and loaded into a huge role, having played at least 45 minutes in each of his last two games. Without Boozer and Noah in the last one, Gibson had 19 points, 19 rebounds, a steal and three blocks on Saturday.
