Jimmy Butler explodes for 52 points in Bulls' win

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Jimmy Butler racked up a season-high 52 points to go with 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block as the Bulls beat the Charlotte Hornets 118-111 on Monday.

What It Means:

With Dwyane Wade (knee) on the sidelines and Rajon Rondo (poor play) in the doghouse, Butler was handed the reins to the Bulls' offense on Monday and made the most of it.

Butler's 40 percent usage rate in the win was his highest mark of the season, and his absurd 92.4 nERD was the highest mark among all players on Monday, per numberFire Live.
