Jimmy Butler Will Suit Up For Friday’s Contest
3 years agoMiami Heat small/power forward Jimmy Butler (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's game vs. the Cavaliers, ending his absence at one outing due to an illness. With Butler back in the mix, Gabe Vincent is set to shift to a limited reserve role. Butler has battled various ailments throughout the year, but he enters play Friday averaging 21.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per contest, keeping him in rarefied season-long fantasy territory, especially when factoring in his defensive contributions. He draws a difficult DFS matchup in his return, as Cleveland boasts the fourth-best defensive efficiency in the league entering play Friday.
