Jimmy Butler may be on minutes limit for Timberwolves Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler will probably play in "shorter segments" during Wednesday's regular-season opener against the San Antonio Spurs, head coach Tom Thibodeau said.
Butler's conditioning might not be up to par after sitting out the entire preseason. The disgruntled All-Star sounded a little more content than in previous weeks at Wednesday's shootaround. "I want to hoop," Butler said. "Be out there with my soldiers. Go to war. Try to, to the best of my ability, get a win.”
numberFire's models project Butler to score 36.3 FanDuel points at a cost of $9,400 in the Timberwolves' opener.
