Jimmy Butler Scores 21 Points With Seven Assists
5 years agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler posted 21 points, three rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block in his team's 117-100 win over the Charlotte Hornets. Butler bounced back after a 4-13 shooting performance to post a 54.5 percent mark from the field. The 30-year-old has dished out at least five assists in eight of 13 games played this year. Career-high averages of 6.7 assists and 2.8 steals have helped to mask career-lows in field goal and three-point percentage. If Butler can get more efficient from both spots, he'll be an even better fantasy asset. He and the Heat will next play on Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets, who rank in the bottom-10 in both points and assists allowed per game.
