Jimmy Butler Will Return on Monday
10 months agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Monday and will play his first game since December 30. He's actually only played one game since December 18 due to the right-toe MP joint sprain he's been dealing with, so fantasy managers will welcome back a player of his caliber with open arms. Butler will slot back into the starting lineup especially with Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) ruled out for this contest. He may not have the same playmaking stats since Tyler Herro is also active. Butler has averaged 21.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.8 turnovers per game so far this year, and should be in every starting lineup regardless of league format.
