Cristiano Felicio

Cristiano Felicio will start Thursday for Chicago

Chicago Bulls forward Cristiano Felicio will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the New York Knicks with Pau Gasol (knee) unavailable.

What It Means:

The Bulls' rookie has not played in Chicago's last two games, and in his last start when Gasol was out, he played only 12 minutes. Don't expect him to play a large role on Thursday.

Felicio owns a nERD of 0.3 this season in 20 games. He is averaging 1.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in just 6.6 minutes.
