Jimmy Butler (neck) downgraded Tuesday for Heat
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (neck soreness) is now questionable for Tuesday against the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
Butler was added to the injury report as probable after missing the Tuesday morning shootaround, but he's now trending toward sitting out the front end of the Heat's back-to-back. Caleb Martin, Kyle Lowry, and Kevin Love will have more minutes available if Butler is ruled out. There would also be additional scoring opportunities for Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo.
Butler has a $9,800 salary on Tuesday’s six-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 41.7 FanDuel points over 33.1 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Heat’s implied total (108.25) is second-lowest of the day and the game total (220.0) is the lowest on the board.
