Dwyane Wade

Bulls' Dwyane Wade practices on Thursday

Chicago Bulls guard Dwyane Wade (thigh) practiced on Thursday and will likely play on Friday, per head coach Fred Hoiberg.

What It Means:

Wade has missed two-straight games with the thigh injury, though he has been a game-time decision both times, and it looks like he'll be back in the lineup on Friday. This will likely send Paul Zipser back to the bench while also dropping Jimmy Butler's minutes and usage a little bit.

Assuming he plays, our models project Wade for 19.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.6 steals in 31.1 minutes of action against the Houston Rockets on Friday.
