Bulls' Jimmy Butler: Will start Monday

Butler will start at small forward in Monday's game against the Hornets, Vincent Goodwill of CSN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Butler sat out the last two exhibition contests to rest, but he'll return to the lineup Monday. He'll be joined by Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo, Taj Gibson and Robin Lopez in what figures to be the starting lineup for the Bulls' regular-season opener.
