Miami's Jimmy Butler (back) questionable for Sunday's matchup against Portland
Miami Heat guard Jimmy Butler (back) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
According to head coach Erik Spoelstra, Butler is questionable after "his back locked up on him." Expect Goran Dragic to play an increased role if Butler is ruled out against Portland.
Butler's current Sunday projection includes 21.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.3 assists.
