Oh, what a difference Jimmy Butler makes.
After the Chicago Bulls went on a three-game slide, due to missing players such as Butler, Nikola Mirotic and Denzel Valentine, they were able to bounce back against the Anthony Davis-led New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.
With that much-needed win in the bag, the Bulls now look onto the new-look, grit-and-grind Memphis Grizzlies. New coach David Fizdale should ring a few bells for Bulls fans, as he worked as an assistant coach to Erik Spoelstra during the years of the “Big 3” in Miami.
The Memphis Grizzlies are currently sitting sixth in the Western Conference with a 25-17 record.
