Jimmy Butler, SG, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Salary: $9,600

There are a number of revenge narratives to talk about today, but perhaps none more exciting than Jimmy Butler's return to Chicago. Even if you aren't a fan of narratives, it is tough to not love Butler in this spot against the Chicago Bulls. Butler's former team has missed his defense this season, as the current roster ranks 26th in defensive efficiency and has allowed the third-most DraftKings points per game to opposing shooting guards.

Butler's Minnesota Timberwolves have the slate's third-highest implied total, so there should be plenty of fantasy goodness to go around. If you're looking for elite production but not wanting to pay all the way up for LeBron, James Harden ($11,200), or Anthony Davis ($11,100), Butler is your man. He is a viable play in any format against a Bulls squad that shouldn't have any answer for him.
