Jimmy Butler (ankle) questionable Monday for Miami
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (right ankle sprain) is questionable to play Monday against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Butler sat out the front end of the back-to-back and he remains uncertain for the second contest. Bam Adebayo (knee) and Tyler Herro (foot) have both been ruled out and Goran Dragic (back, knee) is also questionable, so Kendrick Nunn could take on a large usage rate versus the Rockets. Andre Iguodala, who started in place of Butler on Sunday, is questionable with a hip ailment.
numberFire’s models currently project Butler for 47.0 FanDuel points versus the Rockets and he has a salary of $9,300 on Monday. Nunn is registering a 30.0 percent usage rate and averaging 1.0 FanDuel points per minute with Adebayo, Herro, Butler, and Dragic off the court this season. He has a salary of $4,800 on Monday's nine-game slate.
