Jimmy Butler Stats

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will play on Monday night in Boston. The 32-year-old didn't return during Saturday's win over the Celtics because of right knee irritation, so his availability was in doubt for this one. However, he's good to go and will reclaim his place in the starting lineup. Butler has played well throughout the postseason, averaging 28.1 points, 7.2 boards, 4.9 assists, and 2.2 steals. He should be a lock for all DFS lineups, despite the risk of reinjury.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) didn't return to Saturday's postseason win over the Celtics after his right knee became inflamed. However, as alarming as Butler's premature exit was for Heat fans, this injury is nothing new, as he also missed a game for the same reason during Miami's first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran has been spectacular throughout the playoffs, averaging 28.1 points, 7.2 boards, 4.9 assists, and 2.2 steals. Fortunately, he's expected to be back for Game 4, although DFS managers should continue to monitor his status ahead of Monday evening.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was basically the lone bright spot for his team during Thursday's Game 2 against the Boston Celtics. The All-Star forward finished with 29 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 48 minutes during their loss. This was a solid performance from Butler, but sadly his teammates weren't able to bring much to the table. Fantasy managers can expect Butler to continue playing at this level, but hopefully his teammates pick it up in Game 3.

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler turned his offensive aggressiveness up to another level during his team's Game 1 victory Tuesday, as he compiled 41 points on 19 shots, including attempting 18 free throws. The performance marks the third time this postseason Butler has reached the 40-point plateau, as he also added nine rebounds, five assists, four steals, and three blocks for an all-around massive outing. Arguably the best playoff showing of Butler's career came in the first game this postseason in which he did not knock down a triple. His constant effort on both ends of the floor favor his continued DFS appeal as the series carries on, with Game 2 coming Thursday.
