Jimmy Butler Questionable With Foot Contusion
1 month agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. A right foot contusion cost Butler the front end of Miami's back-to-back in Sunday's narrow win over the Detroit Pistons, and the two-way superstar forward's status remains up in the air on Monday. Since Tyler Herro (foot) is out of action, the Heat offense would run through Bam Adebayo and Terry Rozier if Butler can't go against the Sixers. First-round rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. has been the definitive fantasy beneficiary of Butler's absences this season, averaging 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 treys through 20 games without Butler, but the 208.5-point over/under implies this is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair.
