Miami's Jimmy Butler (back) ruled out on Wednesday
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (back) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics.
Butler will watch from the sidelines after Miami's star experienced lower back stiffness during pregame warmups. Expect Tyler Herro to play a lead offensive role versus a Boston team ranked fifth in defensive rating.
According to Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 627.8 minutes this season with Butler off the floor, Herro is averaging 1.11 FanDuel points per minute and a 28.4% usage rate.
