Butler double-doubles in start for Deng
Jimmy Butler - G/F - Chicago Bulls
Jan. 26, 2013 - 1:15 AM ET
Jimmy Butler scored 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting with a career-high 12 rebounds, two assists, and one block in another start for Luol Deng (hamstring) on Friday.
Butler's time in the spotlight might be short-lived with Deng potentially playing on Saturday, but his time on the court is worth filing away in memory banks. He could conceivably hold some value in deep leagues when Deng returns, and it's worth noting that Tom Thibodeau has a history of running his players into the ground and Deng might have issues down the road.
