Butler (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Denver, Nick Friedell of ESPNChicago.com reports.

Analysis:

Butler is battling tendinitis in his left knee, which caused him to miss Wednesday's game, even though he played 47 minutes earlier on Monday. It is likely that the Bulls are being cautious with their star, as they've experienced much injury hardship with Derrick Rose in the past. Should Butler miss the game, look for Tony Snell and Doug McDermott to gain extra minutes.
