KEY GAME INFORMATION
CHICAGO: Jimmy Butler has quickly become a great NBA player. His shooting is streaky, but if he's knocking down shots in Fred Hoiberg's uptempo system, he's a darkhorse MVP candidate . . . Derrick Rose is not the player he was pre-injuries (obviously). He'll have a chance to get back to attack, attack, attack in Hoiberg's system, which is good, but you're not going to see vintage Rose again . . . Tony Snell is a solid rotation player, a 3-and-D guy who is improving on both ends of the floor . . . Kirk Hinrich will see time at both guard spots, though he's primarily a defensive presence at this point . . . If Rose is hurt again, Aaron Brooks is most likely to take over at the point . . . E'Twaun Moore is kicking around as a practice player. Pau Gasol looked ageless for most of last season. He's going to have a lot of fun dissecting defenses in Hoiberg's system . . . Mike Dunleavy is back as a spot-up shooter on offense and agitator on defense, but could miss the first month of the season with an injured ankle . . . Nikola Mirotic is already a very good player. He'll see time at both forward spots, but he can dominate as a playmaking power forward . . . Taj Gibson needed offseason ankle surgery, but he should be back as a quality rim protector and solid offensive threat . . . The hope is that Doug McDermott is simply a better fit in Hoiberg's three-happy system after spending the year buried on the bench for Tom Thibodeau's grind-it-out team . . . Bobby Portis figures to be more of an understudy to Gibson as a rookie. The Bulls will have to be careful with Joakim Noah's regular-season minutes, and certainly his offensive struggles in last year's playoffs were worrisome. Still, despite his reputation as a Thibodeau guy, he's an underrated passer who should do solid work in Hoiberg's system.
MINNESOTA: They've found some depth at the point, meaning Ricky Rubio's minutes can be scaled back. He missed 60 games with an ankle injury last year, and he has missed at least 20 in three of his four seasons . . . Minnesota will surely shop veteran scorer Kevin Martin as the year goes on, but he's likely the top scorer in Minnesota as long as he stays in town . . . Zach LaVine showed flashes of being more than a super-athletic dunk artist last season, holding his own at the point for stretches after Rubio went down. He'll assume a combo guard role off the bench this year and is still a work in progress . . . A lack of size and athleticism will make it an uphill battle for local hero Tyus Jones, despite his success in last year's trainwreck of a Final Four. Last year was quite encouraging for Andrew Wiggins, who scored effectively by getting to the line frequently. Now he needs to add a jumper . . . Kevin Garnett said he'll start but be limited to 20 or so minutes per night as he assumes a player/coach role . . . They got a nice addition in 2015 Euroleague MVP Nemanja Bjelica, a skilled power forward who should help the offense run more smoothly . . . Shabazz Muhammad might be able to establish himself as a high-scoring sixth man . . . Minnesota took a flier on Adreian Payne, who struggled as a rookie but has size and decent shooting touch . . . Damjan Rudez gives them a veteran spot-up shooter off the bench . . . Anthony Bennett has shown no signs of being anything better than a dumpster fire . . . Karl-Anthony Towns is the rare rebounder and rim-protector who can also step away from the basket and stretch the floor on the offensive end. His longterm upside is huge . . . Gorgui Dieng gives them a solid defensive presence and a decent mid-range jumper, but might have a tough time meshing with Towns . . . Nikola Pekovic is still a beast on the offensive boards but can't stay healthy. He's trade bait.
PREVIEW
Bulls-Timberwolves Preview
By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer

Don't blame Chicago Bulls fans for thinking the worst when Jimmy Butler was being rolled off the floor in a chair after a hard fall. They've had plenty of experience watching another star suffer serious injuries.

The early diagnosis says Butler's setback isn't in that category, which is some good news for the already banged-up Bulls as they continue their trip against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.

Memories of Derrick Rose tearing his ACL and then his meniscus - injuries that held the former MVP out for nearly two full seasons - surely crept into the minds of those watching Butler being wheeled off the court in Friday's 115-110 loss to Denver.

Butler, who missed Wednesday's win over Sacramento with left knee tendinitis and was questionable against the Nuggets, came down hard after a drive to the basket in the second quarter. He stayed to shoot the free throws, then was helped back to the locker room.

The All-Star guard was averaging a team-high 22.4 points entering Friday and had 19 before going down. The Bulls are calling the injury a sprain in the same knee after the initial checkup.

A more serious injury would be devastating for the Bulls (27-22), who already lost Joakim Noah for the season and have yet to activate Mike Dunleavy Jr. because of injuries. Nikola Mirotic also has missed the last five with Appendicitis.

"We've got to be prepared to play without Jimmy for a time," said coach Fred Hoiberg, who confirmed Butler will have an MRI in Minnesota early Saturday. "At the same time, we don't want to jump to any conclusions. The ligament seems stable."

Chicago blew an 18-point lead while playing most of the game sans Butler and the entire contest without Pau Gasol, who suffered a left hand sprain against Sacramento.

Rose finished with 30 points, a season-high nine rebounds and seven assists while Taj Gibson added 18 for the Bulls, who were outscored 42-21 in the fourth quarter and fell to 2-3 on their seven-game trip.

"Right now we're taking it all in," Rose said. "If (Butler) can't play, the guys behind him will have to come in and play good. He seemed in good spirits."

Gasol might be able to return against Minnesota (15-36), which opens a three-game homestand after snapping a five-game skid with Wednesday's 108-102 win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Andrew Wiggins finished with 31 points after scoring 30 the previous night against the Lakers, and Karl-Anthony Towns added 17 and 12 rebounds. Gorgui Dieng had his third double-double in four games and is averaging 16.3 points over his last six.

''We're gaining confidence every day,'' Wiggins said. ''We may lose, but we're not getting beaten bad and we're not getting blown out. We're fighting back and never giving up.''

The Timberwolves are also dealing with injuries. Veterans Kevin Garnett (sore right knee) and Kevin Martin (sore right wrist) each have missed the last six, and Nikola Pekovic has been out for the last two with a sore right foot.

Coach Sam Mitchell, though, has been pleased with how the younger players have taken advantage of more playing time and continue to progress.

"I'm excited every day because I can see the potential, I can see where we're going to go," Mitchell said. "Our young guys are on the court every night and they're either winning or giving themselves a chance. What better do you want?"

Wiggins scored 31 points to help overcome 21 and 14 rebounds from Gasol in Minnesota's 102-93 overtime win at Chicago on Nov. 7.

The Bulls have won six straight at Minnesota since an overtime loss on Jan. 25, 2009.
