Jimmy Butler Returns To Lineup And Scores 21 Points
Jimmy Butler managed to score just 21 points on 23 shots as he was 0-for-8 from downtown in his club's loss to the Warriors on Friday. Butler added five assists with three rebounds and zero turnovers in 35 minutes of action. This Butler situation has to be getting frustrating for owners because when he does play, he is producing solid lines. Keep an eye on his status for Sunday to see if he does or does not take the court for his club against the Trail Blazers.

Jimmy Butler III Listed As Probable For Wednesday
Jimmy Butler III (pelvis) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Houston Rockets. The veteran star missed Game 3 of the series due to a pelvic contusion but returned for Monday's Game 4, and it appears the Warriors will have Butler III available on Wednesday night. Butler III moved a bit gingerly at times on Monday, but the pelvic injury did not affect his performance, as the six-time All-Star led the Warriors with 27 points, adding five rebounds, six assists, and one block in 40 minutes.

Jimmy Butler III Leads Warriors In Scoring Monday Night
Jimmy Butler III netted a team-high 27 points on 7-for-12 shooting in Monday's 109-106 win over the Houston Rockets. After returning to the lineup from a pelvic contusion, Butler needed some time to get going, scoring only four points in the first quarter. But he turned out to be a key figure in the contest, finishing 12-for-12 from the free-throw line and picking up five rebounds, six assists, and one block with zero turnovers in 40 minutes. With Playoff Jimmy in top form, the Warriors are well-placed to end the series in five games on Wednesday.

Jimmy Butler III Officially Active For Game 4
Jimmy Butler III (pelvis) is officially active for Monday's meeting with the Rockets. He also won't be on a minutes restriction. The veteran had 25 points and five steals in Game 1. Yet, he suffered a pelvic contusion the following contest, limiting him to only seven minutes and keeping him off the floor for Game 3. With Butler back in the lineup, Jonathan Kuminga will likely head back to the bench, possibly even falling out of the rotation altogether.
