Jimmy Butler (knee) questionable for Heat versus Clippers
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (right knee soreness) is questionable to play on Friday versus the Los Angeles Clippers.
What It Means:
Butler missed Monday's game for a hip issue, but he dealt with a right knee problem in 2018. Goran Dragic (left calf soreness) and Kendrick Nunn (left Achilles soreness) are also questionable. If the Heat opt to play it safe, then Duncan Robinson and Tyler Herro should both take on more work.
Butler is averaging 43.2 FanDuel points per game. numberFire's models project him for 22.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 2.0 steals, and 2.3 3-pointers over the rest of the season.
