Bulls beat Raptors in Jimmy Butler's return

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Jimmy Butler returned to the lineup on Tuesday and posted 19 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists in 38 minutes of action.

What It Means:

Butler had missed four of the Bulls' previous five games with a heel injury, so it was encouraging to see him step in and be able to handle such a big workload right away. The Bulls have Wednesday off and then play their final game before the All-Star break on Thursday.

Butler finished third among Bulls players with a 17.2 nERD in Tuesday's win, per numberFire Live. He leads the team and ranks sixth in the NBA with an 11.2 nERD on the season.
