Jimmy Butler (knee) starting in Game 1 for Heat on Monday; Victor Oladipo to bench
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler will start Monday in the team's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Butler missed the team's clinching Game 5 of the First Round due to right knee inflammation. However, for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the All-Star wing has received the green light to take the court. Butler will also immediately start in his return, sending Victor Oladipo back to a bench role.
Our models project Butler for 22.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 46.6 FanDuel points across 37.6 minutes of action.
