Fantasy Impact:
The return of Butler will be huge for the Bulls, who have gone 5-6 without him in the starting lineup. He is expected to start and not be on a minutes restriction after taking part in practices late last week in anticipation for his return. The first-year All-Star is averaging 20.2 PPG, 5.3 RPG and 3.3 APG. this season. The Bulls' chances increase greatly with Butler in their lineup and the same goes for fantasy owners.
