Jimmy Butler held to 18 points on Sunday for Timberwolves
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler scored 18 points (5-of-9 field goals, 7-of-9 free throws) with 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 3-pointer, and 3 turnovers in 39.1 minutes of Sunday's 111-106 win over the Sacramento Kings.
Butler saw his three-game streak of 30-plus games come to an end in an understandable letdown performance after Friday's emotional return to Chicago against the Bulls. This was the first time since January 12 (10 games) that Butler didn't score at least 20 points in a game.
Jimmy Buckets scored 35.5 FanDuel points on Sunday, compared to his average of 41.8 FanDuel points per game for the season. He had scored at least 36.0 FanDuel points in the previous 10 contests.
