Deng - bruised thigh
Gibson - turf toe
Watson - left foot plantar fasciitis

All three are expected to play tonight, but which injury worries you the most coming down the stretch?

I'd probably say Watson's, since we need him to play well and give Rose as much time off as possible during games. If it continues to get worse (as we know PF will do - see: Nocioni, Noah, Taj, etc.), we could be looking at a serious lack of depth during the playoffs. Granted, Rose will likely be playing 40-45 minutes/game during the playoffs, but the dropoff from Watson to Lucas or Pargo is pretty steep.
