Jimmy Butler (knee) starting for Miami Thursday; Goran Dragic to bench
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler will start Thursday in the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Once it was announced that Butler would be available to play, it was a lock that he'd rejoin the starting lineup. His return means that Goran Dragic will now revert to a bench role.
Our models project Butler for 19.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 41.7 FanDuel points across 33.7 minutes of action.
