    Jimmy Butler Will Suit Up Friday, Likely To Sit Saturday

    Miami Heat power forward Jimmy Butler (injury management) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Nuggets, meaning he is on track to sit Saturday's contest vs. Utah. Butler has not appeared in both legs of a back-to-back since late October as Miami monitors a knee ailment for its six-time All-Star. With Victor Oladipo (injury management) ruled out Friday under similar circumstances, the Heat gives itself some added scoring punch without Butler. Knowing an off-day is on the horizon, DFS managers can roster Butler with confidence, especially while he is in the midst of a seven-game stretch that has seen him shoot 61.4 percent overall.

    Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Gabe Vincent Active Wednesday

    The Miami Heat have listed Jimmy Butler (ankle), Bam Adebayo (shoulder) and Gabe Vincent (knee) as active Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Ever since the Heat got fined for misrepresenting their injury reports, their reports have been massive with injuries despite most being a non-factor. Butler and Adebayo will resume their normal roles as starters while Vincent could be thrust into a more prominent role with Kyle Lowry (personal) ruled out.

    Jimmy Butler Might Be Out Again Wednesday

    Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's clash against the Lakers. He has already missed two of the last three games and could be absent again as he tries to recover from a right ankle sprain. Injuries have left a big mark on Butler's season, with him having played in only 21 games so far. Max Strus re-entered the starting unit with Butler out on Monday against Minnesota and led the team in scoring with 19 points. The 26-year-old is now averaging 14.4 points with 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists as a starter this campaign. He should be a busy man again Wednesday if Butler remains out, while Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry are expected to do more offensively as well.

    Jimmy Butler Dealing With An Ankle Sprain

    Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was forced to exit Friday's matchup against Indiana with a sprained ankle. He rolled his right ankle in the first quarter and was initially able to play through the injury, but Butler didn't see any action after the third quarter. He logged 28 minutes and had a great outing in general with 20 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals. Health issues have troubled Butler all season long, leading to him missing 12 of the team's 33 games. It's currently unclear if Butler is set for another spell on the sidelines. As he initially managed to stay on the court, it's possible that the injury isn't very severe and Butler will be able to play Monday versus Minnesota.

    Jimmy Butler A Late Scratch Tuesday With Stomach Illness

    Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) will not play Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. Butler was expected to play through some lingering knee soreness, but apparently caught a stomach bug Tuesday and has been ruled out. With Kyle Lowry (knee) also out, there should be extra minutes for Max Strus and Victor Oladipo while Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro pick up extra usage.

    Jimmy Butler Expected To Play Versus Chicago

    Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected to play on Tuesday against Chicago. The veteran will probably continue to make routine appearances on the injury report moving ahead because of his nagging knee issue, so fantasy managers should take things on a game-by-game basis. Despite the ailment, Butler has averaged 21.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists, and 1.9 steals in 20 games this season. Assuming he receives the official green light versus the Bulls, he's a must-start in all formats.

    Jimmy Butler Sitting Against OKC

    Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus OKC. With Miami playing its first of consecutive outings, the veteran will sit this one out before presumably suiting up on Thursday in Houston. As a result, Caleb Martin may slide over to cover the four spot, while Max Strus (shoulder), who is probable, could enter the starting lineup. Strus has played well this season, averaging a career-high 13.7 points, although the potential for more is there with Butler out of the equation.

    Jimmy Butler Out With Knee Injury Wednesday

    Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will rest Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Butler and the Heat are heading into the first leg of a back-to-back set so he will get a night off as he rests his knees. With Butler out, look for Victor Oladipo and Caleb Martin to get boosts in fantasy value. Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro should also see higher usage.

    Jimmy Butler Earns Questionable Tag For Thursday’s Game

    Miami Heat power forward Jimmy Butler (knee, reconditioning) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Thursday's contest vs. the Clippers as he works his way back into game action. Butler sat out the second leg of a back-to-back Tuesday, making it likely he suits up against LA. The six-time All-Star has enjoyed another strong campaign thus far, averaging 21 points, 7.1 rebounds (on pace for a career high) and six assists per outing, shooting 49.5 percent overall in the process. Butler is likely to be guarded most possessions by Paul George or Kawhi Leonard -- assuming both are available -- likely lowering his DFS floor if he is ultimately to suit up.

    Jimmy Butler Will Be Sidelined Against Detroit

    Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) has been listed as out for the team's game against the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night. It seems to be a rest night for the veteran as he manages his knee from the past injury he dealt with previously. The knee injury forced him to miss seven consecutive games just a little bit ago. Miami will likely play it safe with him as the season progresses to keep him fresher come playoff time. While he's out, a combo of Max Strus, Gabe Vincent and Haywood Highsmith should see an increase in playing time.

    Jimmy Butler Questionable Versus Boston On Friday

    Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) has been tagged as questionable for the team's game on Friday night against the Boston Celtics. The last time he saw the floor was on November 16th. Butler has missed seven consecutive games with the same knee injury, but the questionable status seems promising for his chances to return. Miami as a whole has a laundry list of injuries. A lot more players look probable now, so hopefully that trend continues with Jimmy Butler as fantasy managers are impatiently waiting to have one of their best players back.

    Jimmy Butler Will Miss Friday’s Contest

    Miami Heat power forward Jimmy Butler (knee) has been ruled unavailable for Friday's game against Washington due to a sore right knee. The absence marks the third of the season for Butler, who has logged his lone two single-digit shot attempts outings in his past three games. With Tyler Herro (ankle) and Victor Oladipo (knee) already ruled out as well, multiple members of the Heat can be expected to see an increase in role on a short-term basis, namely Gabe Vincent, Max Strus and Duncan Robinson. When healthy, Butler has enjoyed a strong start to the year, averaging 20.8 points, 6.6 boards and 6.1 assists, all while shooting 48.3% overall. His next chance to suit up comes Sunday vs. the Cavaliers.

    Jimmy Butler Out Again On Friday

    Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (hip) has been tagged to miss his second consecutive game due to his hip tightness. The injury report is growing as the Heat are listing four different players out against the Indiana Pacers. If any fantasy managers are looking for a streamer, Max Strus would be the way to go as he received the start in Butler's place in their last game. Tyler Herro is also going to play heavy minutes, but Strus is more likely to be available.

    Jimmy Butler Won't Suit Up On Wednesday

    Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (hip) will be held out of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. This will be the first missed game for the veteran this season. He's been averaging 35.5 minutes per game which is the most he's played since his days in Minnesota. Max Strus, Duncan Robinson, and Nikola Jovic will most likely see more minutes in his absence. The first two would probably be the better streamers rather than Jovic, but don't expect any of them to be that great of a fantasy asset.
