Jimmy Butler (ankle) ruled out again Monday for Miami
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is out again Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Butler will pick up a third straight absence and the Heat will also be without Bam Adebayo (knee) on Monday night. Tyler Herro, Kyle Lowry, and Duncan Robinson will take on larger offensive roles to help fill the void in the starting lineup.
numberFire’s models project Herro for 34.8 minutes and 32.8 FanDuel points, and he has a $6,900 salary on Monday. Herro has a team-high 27.7% usage rate in floor situations without Butler this season. Per our NBA Heat Map, the over/under in the Heat-Thunder game (207.0) is the second-lowest total on the board.
