Jimmy Butler playing through knee injury for Bulls
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Jimmy Butler has been playing through a left knee issue.
He reportedly picked up the injury in Game 4 when he collided with a Boston Celtics player. "I'm good. Everyone's a little nicked up," Butler said. "I'll be all right." Butler seemed fine in Game 5 on Thursday up until the fourth quarter. He has been playing 41.4 minutes per game in this series. With Chicago's season on the line, expect another massive workload in Game 6 on Friday even if he's less than 100 percent.
numberFire's algorithms project Butler for 25.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists in 37.2 minutes tomorrow night.
