]]> Ben Gordon was a hero in Game 4 for the Chicago Bulls. For Game 5, he may not be available to play. He got hurt in the second quarter of Game 4 but came back into the game to hit a three-pointer to send the game into a second overtime. The Bulls ended up beating the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics by a final score of 121-118.

An MRI on Monday showed that Gordon suffered a strained left hamstring. If this were the regular season, Gordon could possibly miss action. However, with the Bulls in the middle of a battle with the Celtics, you should expect Gordon to play. If you are playing playoff fantasy basketball, Gordon should be safe to keep in your starting lineup.

In the playoffs, Gordon has been very good. He’s averaging 24.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game, while shooting 46.1% from the field and 40.9% on three-pointers. Gordon has hit a number of big shots for the Bulls and is the go-to scorer for the young Bulls squad.

With the Bulls and Celtics tied going into Game 5, the Bulls will need a healthy Gordon to have any chance to pull off the upset.
