Jimmy Butler (toe) out for Miami Sunday
The Miami Heat will not have Jimmy Butler (toe) available for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
What It Means:
Butler will miss a seventh straight game as he continues to recover from the toe sprain he suffered just before the new year. The Heat play again on Monday, meaning he could technically return as early as tomorrow.
Butler is averaging 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game this season, but has been limited to just 24 games due to injuries. His absence should mean rookie Jaime Jacquez Jr. will continue to see elevated minutes. He has a $6,300 salary on FanDuel and is projected for 29.3 fantasy points against the Hornets.
