Pau Gasol of Chicago Bulls back in starting lineup after knee swelling

CHICAGO -- Bulls center Pau Gasol will start Monday night against the Sacramento Kings after missing the previous four games because of right knee swelling.

"Pau's good to go," Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said before the game. "He's going to play. We've got a plan to control his minutes. See how he responds to it, but he's handled two straight days of activity very well so everybody's comfortable having him back out there."

Gasol's return comes at a good time for a Bulls team that heads into Monday's game looking for its third straight win.
