Jimmy Butler sitting out as Bulls play in Minnesota
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Jimmy Butler (heel) will not play against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday.
The Bulls will be without four players and two starters in this one, so it could get dicey against the Wolves. Michael Carter-Williams, Denzel Valentine and Doug McDermott stand to benefit the most with Dwyane Wade and Butler out on Sunday.
Our models project Valentine to benefit the most from Butler's absence, posting 10.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals over 28.6 minutes on Sunday.
