4 years agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will play Thursday while Bam Adebayo (knee) has been ruled out against the Pelicans. Butler missed the last two games with some inflammation in his right knee- but returns just in time for an excellent matchup with the Pelicans, who have allowed the seventh-most FanDuel points to small forwards. He should be ready for a full workload. Adebayo previously had yet to miss a game as he dealt with knee tendonitis, though the team is playing it safe with him ahead of the All-Star break.--Tim Capurso
