FanDuel Fantasy Points Per Game More DFS

Jimmy Butler (COVID-19) could return to Heat this week

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (COVID-19) could return to the team later this week, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.

What It Means:

Jackson says there is "optimism" that Butler and Avery Bradley could clear the league’s health and safety protocols on Monday. They will remain out for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets but could be available Wednesday or Thursday for Miami's back-to-back. Neither Butler nor Bradley have played since January 9, so they could be limited upon return. Goran Dragic and Kendrick Nunn should continue to see more work on Monday to help fill the void.

Dragic is numberFire's top value Monday among Heat players. Our models project him for 31.4 FanDuel points and he has a salary of $5,800 on the 10-game slate. Duncan Robinson (23.6; $4,700) is also projected to return more than 5X value on Monday.
