Jimmy Butler's First-Round DFS Preview
7 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler is a risky DFS play on Sunday when his team takes on the Rockets in the opening round of the playoffs. Butler hasn't played well against Houston all season, averaging only 16 points on a rough 40 percent shooting from the field in addition to a less impressive 12 percent from downtown. He is also coming off of knee surgery that forced him to miss 17 games and since his return, he has played over 23 minutes just once despite looking strong over 42 minutes against the Nuggets on Wednesday. Though he doesn't have a minutes restriction moving forward, there is a chance he could find himself sitting early if Houston gains a significant lead over the T-Wolves on Sunday, which is something to keep in mind.
