3 years agoMiami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler closed out 2021 with a very strong game, scoring a season-high 37 points on 12-for-21 shooting in a 120-110 win over Houston. He went 2-for-3 from deep and 11-for-11 at the line, adding one rebound, two assists, one steal and two blocks with zero turnovers. Butler featured just four times In December as injury threatened to derail his season and fingers crossed that he can steer clear of any problems now. Butler will face the Kings as his first opponent in 2022 and this matchup should fit him like a glove, with Sacramento playing an up-tempo game with poor defensive efforts.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
