Jimmy Butler Will Suit Up Friday, Likely To Sit Saturday
2 years agoMiami Heat power forward Jimmy Butler (injury management) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Nuggets, meaning he is on track to sit Saturday's contest vs. Utah. Butler has not appeared in both legs of a back-to-back since late October as Miami monitors a knee ailment for its six-time All-Star. With Victor Oladipo (injury management) ruled out Friday under similar circumstances, the Heat gives itself some added scoring punch without Butler. Knowing an off-day is on the horizon, DFS managers can roster Butler with confidence, especially while he is in the midst of a seven-game stretch that has seen him shoot 61.4 percent overall.
