Jimmy Butler (tailbone) warming up Monday for Heat
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (tailbone) will warm up in anticipation of playing on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
Butler appears set to return after missing the last four games. Tyler Herro will likely shift back to the second unit and Kyle Lowry will not need to handle the ball as much with the first unit. Butler's return also means fewer minutes for the likes of Caleb Martin, Max Strus, and Gabe Vincent.
numberFire's models project Butler for 47.8 FanDuel points and he has an $8,800 salary on Monday's 10-game slate. In 225.1 minutes this season without Adebayo on the floor, Butler is registering a plus-3.4% usage differential and averaging an additional 0.21 FanDuel points per minute.
