Nate Robinson will start Game 4 on Monday as expected. Kirk Hinrich (calf) is sidelined and Derrick Rose (knee surgery) is still not ready to return, meaning it's Robinson's show to run. Coach Tom Thibodeau initially said he didn't know who would start, but that was more gamesmanship than anything else. Robinson is coming off a ridiculous performance in Saturday's triple-overtime Game 3 victory and should have plenty of opportunities to score again Monday night.

Nate Robinson scored 23 points in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 142-134 triple-overtime win over the Nets, finishing with 34 points, one board, four assists, two steals and three 3-pointers in 29 minutes. His 23 points were just one point shy of Michael Jordan's fourth-quarter postseason record and it matched the entire second-half output of Boston's scoring total in the second half of their Game 2 vs. the Knicks. Robinson was hitting all sorts of crazy shots with his biggest coming on a bank shot in the lane over Deron Williams in the first overtime. The Bulls won't be missing Derrick Rose with performances like this one and they will look to close out the Nets in Brooklyn on Monday.

Nate Robinson shot 8-of-12 from the field for 17 points with two boards and one 3-pointer in 20 minutes in a loss to the Nets on Saturday. Kirk Hinrich suffered a thigh injury and given his track record, it seems likely that Hinrich will have to miss time. Robinson will approach 34 minutes per game assuming Hinrich is down, which could be a dangerous idea for the Bulls.

Nate Robinson was on fire off the bench in Thursday's win over the Knicks, scoring 35 points with three boards, two assists, one block and five 3-pointers. He shot 10-of-18 from the field and hit all 10 free throws. Nate was fired up most of the game and was doing Steve Novak's championship-belt celebration after hitting his huge 3-pointers. His 35 points off the bench tonight were the most for a Bulls player since Ben Gordon's 37 back in 2008. Robinson will have his bad plays and he was burned in the post all night by J.R. Smith, but the Bulls won't be missing Derick Rose too bad with nights like these from Nate.

Nate Robinson hit just 7-of-22 shots, but came through with five 3-pointers, 22 points and four assists in a loss to the Raptors. Robinson is no longer starting over Kirk Hinrich, but with so many injuries the Bulls need his scoring punch off the bench. He's not all that efficient, but tends to put up numbers as long as he's getting minutes.

Nate Robinson started at SG for the short-handed Bulls and racked up 18 points in 34 minutes, as Chicago fell on the road in Detroit. Nate was anything but efficient, hitting 8-of-19 FGs (one 3-pointer) with one assist and one turnover. He'll be better most nights, whether starting or coming off the bench, though Marco Belinelli's return could dent his production whenever Luol Deng (hip) gets back in the lineup.

Nate Robinson hit a floater in the lane with 22 seconds left to put the Bulls up one point during Thursday's 92-90 win, scoring 12 points with five assists, one steal and one 3-pointer in 22 minutes. Nate had an important steal of a Brook Lopez pass that led to the aforementioned bucket and he's been an under-the-radar stud off the bench. Robinson also hit a big floater in the lane in the shocking win over Miami last week. He's in a timeshare with Kirk Hinrich, so his upside will be limited in standard leagues.

Nate Robinson played 33 minutes off the bench against the Wizards on Tuesday, scoring 17 points with two boards, three assists and one 3-pointer on 7-of-16 shooting. He's never been much of a disciplined player, but Nate was pulling up from all over the court tonight. He attempted 13 of his 16 shots from beyond 15 feet and coach Tom Thibodeau was showing some of his frustration. There's nothing to worry about and the Bulls will need Nate with most of their backcourt out with injuries.

The Daily Herald does not expect the Bulls to re-sign impending free agent Nate Robinson.

Nate Robinson came into Dallas with his guns blazing on Saturday, making all seven 3-point attempts for 25 points with three boards and one steal on 9-of-16 shooting. It was getting a little ludicrous late in the game and Nate even buried a 33-foot triple off the dribble in the fourth quarter. Kirk Hinrich's return hasn't hurt Nate too bad and he's worth starting in all leagues while he's hot like this. The Bulls take on Detroit on Sunday.
