Jimmy Butler (ankle) questionable for Heat in back-to-back

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler is questionable to play Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets due to an ankle sprain.

What It Means:

Butler tweaked his ankle on Tuesday night and the Heat may hold him out on the second leg of a back-to-back. Goran Dragic has already been ruled out for maintenance purposes. Tyler Herro and Kendrick Nunn will see larger workloads on offense if Butler joins Dragic on the sidelines.

numberFire’s models project Butler for 45.2 FanDuel points versus the Nuggets and he has a salary of $9,300 on Wednesday.
