Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler practiced on Sunday and is expected to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener versus the San Antonio Spurs, head coach Tom Thibodeau confirmed.
After all the drama and excitement, it looks like Butler will be starting the year in Timberwolves threads. This figures to remain a story throughout the season.
Operating under the assumption Butler plays 37.1 minutes per game for the Timberwolves this season, numberFire's models project him to be a top-15 fantasy option with 23.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.5 3-pointers per game.
