Jimmy Butler's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) was considered questionable heading into Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He sat out of practice on Saturday and is currently listed as questionable on the injury report. Despite that, Butler is reportedly ready to go and will suit up for this game, according to Chris Haynes. If active, Butler should resume his role in the starting five which will mean Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Alec Burks won't see a boost at all. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of tip-off just in case Butler suffers a setback.

Miami Heat forwardJimmy Butler(ankle) has been cleared to play for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Butler had missed four consecutive contests due to a right ankle sprain. He is averaging 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists in eight starts. Despite the 35-year-old's return, Miami will be without the services of Terry Rozier(foot) andJaime Jaquez(ankle). With Rozier and Jaquez unavailable, Butler will see plenty of action after his absence.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) won't play in Sunday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. The 35-year-old was listed as questionable. However, he'll miss his fourth-straight contest on Sunday, so his next chance to return will be on Monday night versus the Philadelphia 76ers. With that in mind, Tyler Herro, averaging 28.7 points in the three games without Butler this season, is a lock for season-long fantasy setups. That also applies to DFS contests. At the same time, Bam Adebayo and Jaime Jaquez Jr. could also see an uptick in fantasy production.
