As the Bulls spiral out of the playoff picture sitting at 10th seed in the East, their .500 record in the first 60 games of the season was the last thing they expected when the season began. From a championship contending team to hardly a playoff bound squad, the Chicago Bulls are hoping things will change for the better once Jimmy Butler returns to action on Saturday against the Rockets.

From my understanding, Jimmy Butler will NOT be under any minutes’ restrictions Saturday against the Rockets

After missing 11 games with a sprained knee, Jimmy Butler will make his dramatic return in a premier matchup against James Harden. Lucky for the Bulls, Jimmy Butler isn’t expected to have any minutes restrictions, but could see less minutes than usual as his body is slightly out of condition.
Butler, two-time Allstar this season, is averaging a career-high 22.4 points per game, 5.2 rebounds per game, and 4.3 assists per game this season.
