Jimmy Butler Tagged As Questionable Against Nets
Jimmy Butler (illness) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to an illness. This illness took him out of their last game on Saturday, so it could cause a two-game absence if he doesn't feel well enough leading up to tip-off. If Butler is unable to play again, the starting five will likely look the same as Saturday which means Dru Smith and Duncan Robinson could be solid streaming options in deeper leagues. Smith finished with 14 points, four rebounds, and four steals while Robinson registered 10 points, four rebounds, three assists, and two threes against the Magic.

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.

Jimmy Butler III Ruled Out On Saturday
Moses Moody, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Brandin Podziemski should all benefit on the scoring end. Jonathan Kuminga, who had 11 points in Game 2, might also remain in the rotation, potentially even entering the starting lineup.
