Jimmy Butler III Fantasy Stats

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an illness. The veteran wing is coming off of a very efficient and well-rounded game against the Charlotte Hornets on New Years Eve. Unfortunately, Butler will be joined by Stephen Curry (ankle) and Draymond Green (rest) on the sidelines for this game, so Brandin Podziemski, Will Richard, and Moses Moody should all see added minutes. Podziemski is likely the more reliable streaming option, but Moody has been more consistent than Richard with averages of 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per contest.

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (back) will suit up on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran star is dealing with lower back soreness but is ready to make his ninth consecutive appearance in the second leg of a back-to-back. While Butler struggled to hit shots in Sunday's overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors, he still had a decent fantasy line with 19 points, six rebounds, and five assists. Monday night could also prove to be difficult on the offensive end for Butler, as the Nets have been among the NBA's best defensive teams in recent weeks.

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) will return from a two-game absence for Sunday's game in Chicago. The Dubs are still without Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and Draymond Green (foot). While their absences mean that others will be more involved offensively, Butler could lead the way on the scoring end. With that said, he has an excellent chance of surpassing his usual fantasy expectations versus one of the worst defensive teams in the National Basketball Association.

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) is probable for Sunday's contest in Chicago. The veteran has missed the last two games. While it seemed he would return for Saturday's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was ultimately ruled out. With Draymond Green (foot) and Stephen Curry (quadriceps) sidelined, Butler could be in line for an above-average night against a Bulls team that has allowed 122.5 points per game this season, the fourth-worst mark in the National Basketball Association. If Butler is officially active, Jonathan Kuminga, who got the start on Saturday, will presumably head back to the bench, especially after going 1-for-10 from the field.

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) won't play on Saturday against Cleveland, marking his second-straight absence. He was listed as questionable, meaning there's a chance he might be back on Sunday versus the Bulls, his former team. However, with Draymond Green (foot) and Stephen Curry (quadriceps) also sidelined, fantasy managers could see an uptick in scoring from Buddy Hield, Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski, Jonathan Kuminga.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup in Cleveland after missing Thursday with left knee soreness. Butler delivered at least 20 points in four of his past five full outings, highlighted by a 24-point, eight-rebound, 10-assist performance in his most recent complete game, though he did log just six points in 15 minutes before exiting early against Oklahoma City. If he sits, Moses Moody becomes the cleanest streaming option after scoring 14 points with one steal in 23 minutes, while Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield gain short-term value.

According to Anthony Slater of ESPN.com, Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) is unavailable versus the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Butler played only 15 minutes during Tuesday's clash with Oklahoma City, exiting the contest due to a sore left knee. Gary Payton II started the second half in Butler's spot, posting 13 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Buddy Hield was assigned extra time on the floor as well while Butler was out of action, logging 28 minutes. Hield also collected 12 points, four rebounds, and two steals in the 124-112 Warriors loss. Both players provide fantasy value with Butler sidelined this evening.

Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler III (knee) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran star played only 15 minutes in Tuesday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, exiting the action with a sore left knee. Gary Payton II started the second half in Butler's place, notching 13 points, five rebounds, and five assists. Buddy Hield also had a larger workload without Butler, logging 28 minutes off the bench. He finished with 12 points, four rebounds, and two steals. Both players would have more fantasy value if Butler sits out Thursday's action.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Jimmy Butler III (glute) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Warriors are already without Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and may now face the defending champions without two of their top scorers. Butler III is averaging 20.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.6 steals during his first full season with the Warriors. His exit from the lineup would likely give Jonathan Kuminga a chance to return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in back-to-back games. Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody will be used more on the offensive end, boosting their fantasy appeal.

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Jimmy Butler III (back) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers after missing Wednesday's loss to Miami. Butler has been steady all season, averaging 20.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.7 assists on 53.5 percent shooting with efficient work from three. His return should bring structure back to Golden State's rotation. When Butler sits, Moses Moody, Brandin Podziemski and Buddy Hield take on larger roles, and all three saw extra shot volume in his absence. Managers in deeper formats should expect those usage bumps to fade if Butler is active. He remains a strong all-category starter, especially with his recent stretch that includes scoring lines of 33 and 28 points in two of his last five appearances.
