Jimmy Butler: (Elbow) Probable For Monday

Butler (elbow) took part in Monday's shootaround and will likely suit up against the Hornets, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Butler sat out Saturday but was believed to have a good chance to return this week. While he hasn't been a confirmed member of the starting lineup Monday, he should be considered probable heading into the matchup. His status should be updated at some point before the opening tip-off, however, confirming one way or the other. If he indeed plays, Butler will not be on a minutes limit, so use him as you normally would.
