Jimmy Butler Stats

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler didn't have the best showing in the opening game of the NBA Finals. The 33-year-old scored just 13 points on 6-for-14 shooting and added seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block. Butler and the Heat didn't seem ready to be hit in the mouth right out of the gates. He and Bam Adebayo will need to channel their big games this postseason to combat the duo of Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Butler usually bounces back after bad games, so Game 2 will be important for his momentum before going back to Miami.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was recently asked about the health of his ankle heading into the NBA Finals. He responded by saying, "Nobody cares. You don't, either. I'm still expected to do my job at a high level if I take the floor, which I will. We're going to be okay. We're going to get the job done, bum ankle or not." It's unknown if Butler's ankle is still bothering him, but he's not going to let it hold him back. The 33-year-old isn't going to use his ankle as an excuse. Butler won Eastern Conference MVP for his performance during their last series.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler scored a game-high 28 points and had seven rebounds with six assists and three steals as the team beat Boston in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals Monday. Butler again struggled from the field, shooting 12-for-28, but he had a nice 3-for-7 record from deep and made some very timely baskets. The Heat star ended up being voted the Eastern Conference MVP after averaging 24.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 2.6 steals in the series. It's been a phenomenal playoff run by Butler and his team, and Miami is now only four wins away from glory.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler had an awful 5-for-21 shooting night in Saturday's Game 6 against Boston, but he was still productive all over the court and nearly had a triple-double. The Heat star finished a painful 104-103 loss with a team-high 24 points, 11 rebounds, eight assists and one steal. Butler saved his scoring total with 12-for-14 shooting at the free-throw line and a 2-for-4 effort from deep. Following the very inefficient shooting performance, Butler should be very fired up for Monday's Game 7. He went for 35 points on 13-for-24 shooting in last year's Game 7 against the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
