4 years agoMiami Heat guard Jimmy Butler finished Saturday's restart matchup against the Nuggets with 22 points on 6-for-11 shooting from the field while also draining 10 of his 11 attempts from the charity stripe. He also added seven assists, four boards, and three steals. The absence of Will Barton (knee) allowed Butler to improve on his marksmanship after he shot 25 percent against Denver back in November. Miami will need the veteran to keep things going as the team looks to surpass the Celtics in terms of playoff positioning. Next up for the Heat will be the Toronto Raptors, with Butler averaging nearly a triple-double throughout two games against the defending champs this season.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
