Jimmy Butler (foot) participating in Heat shootaround Wednesday
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (foot) was active at the morning shootaround ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What It Means:
Butler is listed as questionable, but this is a positive sign he will return from a two-game absence on Wednesday night. Duncan Robinson (back) has been ruled out and Bam Adebayo (back) was downgraded to questionable, so the Heat will be thin on offense if Butler remains sidelined.
numberFire's models project Butler for 37.5 minutes and 41.3 FanDuel points on Wednesday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Heat's implied total (100.75) and the game total (203.5) are both the lowest of the day.
