Jimmy Butler (knee) back in Wolves' starting lineup Saturday after missing four games
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will return to the starting lineup on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets after missing the last four games with knee soreness.
What It Means:
Butler said earlier in the day that he was playing, and coach Tom Thibodeau echoed that as well. With Butler back in the starting lineup, Nemanja Bjelica will head to the bench, and he'll likely see a reduced role with Butler healthy. Andrew Wiggins could also see his usage reduced.
Our models project Butler for 41.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $9,000 on Saturday.
