Jimmy Butler (ankle) ruled out Tuesday for Heat
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
What It Means:
Butler has been downgraded from questionable and will remain out for a second straight game. That leaves more minutes available for Jamal Cain, Dru Smith, and Caleb Martin throughout the rotation. Jaime Jaquez, Josh Richardson, and Tyler Herro also stand to benefit from additional opportunities.
Richardson is numberFire's second-best point-per-dollar value on Tuesday's eight-game slate. He has a $5,000 salary and our models project him for 27.7 FanDuel points over 30.8 minutes.
