Jimmy Butler Expected Back During Road Trip
2 years agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected back for the team's upcoming contests in Boston, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. The 33-year-old has already missed the previous four games because of right knee soreness, so he'll sit out a few more before he's finally ready to return. In the meantime, Miami could be down more players heading into Friday's meeting with Washington, including Tyler Herro (ankle), Max Strus (shoulder), Caleb Martin (knee), and Gabe Vincent (knee), among others. As a result, Bam Adebayo and Kyle Lowry should do most of the heavy lifting offensively against the Wizards. Additionally, Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith could provide value for DFS managers, with the latter being a more reliable fantasy option.
