Jimmy Butler Still Out On Tuesday Night
1 day agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) won't play in Tuesday's game against the Pistons. This will mark his second-consecutive absence because of a sprained ankle. But Miami doesn't play again until Friday in Indiana, so, hopefully, the extra days off will allow him to get back on the floor. Without Butler in the equation, Haywood Highsmith, who had seven points as a starter on Sunday against Minnesota, should continue to fill some of the void in the rotation. However, Jaime Jaquez Jr., who recently returned from a lengthy absence, may find himself with the first five and would be considered a much safer fantasy option than Highsmith.
