Minnesota's Jimmy Butler (soreness) will play on Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (soreness) will play on Friday night.
What It Means:
Butler was expected to play all long but was tagged as a game-time decision when head coach Tom Thibadeau met with reporters a couple of hours ago. With Andrew Wiggins out, expect Butler to see an uptick in usage. He is supposed to lay around 32 minutes, but Thib had Butler on the court for 43 minutes the last time out.
Our models project Butler for 43.6 FanDuel points in 37.3 minutes against the Sacramento Kings.
