6 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler played a team-high 43 minutes on Wednesday against the Lakers, scoring 24 points on 9-for-18 shooting with five rebounds, five assists, and three steals. He filled it up from deep as well, finishing 5-for-8 from downtown. Butler is putting up great numbers, but his fantasy value has taken a hit this season for all the trade drama that surrounds him. He's sat out multiple games and there's no reason to believe that he won't continue doing that until the Wolves finally find a new home for him. He'd make a lot of people happy if he decided to play on Friday against the Kings who are among the league leaders with their 107.77 pace.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
