Jimmy Butler Will Play Wednesday
6 months agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee), who was previously listed as probable, will be available in Wednesday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets. Right knee tendinitis was the culprit for Butler's absence in Miami's third game of the year in Oct. 28's 106-90 defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves, but some have speculated it was an early case of load management. That should be a running theme throughout the course of the campaign for the 34-year-old six-time All-Star, who hasn't played more than 64 games in a single season since 2018-19. Butler will look improve on a sluggish 32.5% field-goal rate while averaging 15.3 points during Wednesday's affair as a must-start fantasy asset in season-long leagues.
