Bulls will deploy Rajon Rondo off the bench on Thursday

Chicago Bulls point guard Rajon Rondo will be the team's sixth man on Thursday as they take on the New York Knicks.

What It Means:

Rondo played well in his return to the rotation in the sixth man role on Tuesday, and with Jimmy Butler (illness) still out tonight, Rondo will get another shot to earn his way back into the regular rotation.

Our models project Rondo for 4.8 points, 4.4 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 18.2 minutes of action tonight.
