Jimmy Butler (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Denver

Butler (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Denver, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Butler had said he will play Friday night and he looks to be headed in that direction after missing Wednesday's game with a sore left knee. He is reportedly still battling discomfort, so whether the shooting guard will play a full load of minutes Friday is still to be determined. But all signs point to Butler playing regardless.
