4 years agoMiami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler played pretty much perfect basketball on Saturday, recording 26 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, two steals, one block, and zero turnovers in a 128-124 win over the Wizards. He shot 10-for-18 from the field and 6-for-6 at the line. Butler has had some tough offensive outings so far, and he still hasn't made a shot from deep, but that's now back-to-back 26-point outings for him. Things started clicking for him on Wednesday against Boston, and now Butler gets to face them again to finish off the week. Jayson Tatum (health protocols) will be missing and the C's have a bunch of players listed either out or questionable for the game, so Butler will be in a good spot to perform if the contest doesn't turn into a blowout early on.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
