Taj Gibson doubtful for Bulls on Thursday

Chicago Bulls forward/center Taj Gibson (cracked ribs) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat.

What It Means:

Gibson is still dealing with cracked ribs, and Bulls' coach Fred Hoiberg said he doesn't expect Gibson to suit up for Thursday's game. Barring a change in Gibson's status, Bobby Portis and Nikola Mirotic are in line to pick up extra minutes, with Mirotic having the higher fantasy upside.

Gibson is inside the top 50 with a 3.0 nERD on the year while Mirotic is 66th with a 0.9 nERD. Our models expect Mirotic to put up 11.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 3-pointers tonight against the Heat.
