Jimmy Butler, SG, Chicago Bulls

Price: $8,700

Jimmy Butler had been putting together a career year before losing most of February to injury. In the month leading up to his injury, he was averaging 39.8 FanDuel points per game, putting up 23.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. When he returned on Saturday, he showed that it wasn't going to take him any time to get back into things, as he put up 24 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists against the Rockets.

While beating up on the Rockets isn't the hardest thing in the world, Butler has yet another favorable matchup against the Bucks tonight. Milwaukee ranks 23rd in Defensive Efficiency and has been very poor defending wing players this year, giving up the fifth-most fantasy points in the league to opposing shooting guards and the sixth-most to small forwards.

Butler is second only to James Harden in fantasy production among shooting guards this season, and with it not looking like he's lost a step from his knee injury, a matchup as good as this one makes him a great daily fantasy play.
