Otto Porter (foot) says he's returning for Bulls on Monday
Chicago Bulls small forward Otto Porter (left foot) says he will play on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks.
What It Means:
Porter will be limited to 16-20 minutes in his first game since November 6. Don't be surprised if the Bulls slowly ease him back into a full workload. Porter was shooting 41.7 percent from the field before going down.
Porter was averaging 11.2 points (41.7 percent), 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.8 3-pointers, and 20.9 FanDuel points per game before the injury. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Bulls have the fourth-lowest implied total (110.0 points) on Monday's seven-game slate.
