Jimmy Butler (knee) will not play for Timberwolves on Saturday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (sore right knee) will not play against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday.
This was unexpected and it's not clear if this will be a multi-game issue for Butler. Look for Andrew Wiggins to step up on offense for the Timberwolves while Shabazz Muhammad also takes on a larger role.
Butler is averaging 41.0 FanDuel points per game this season. Over the remainder, numberFire's models project him to record 25.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.8 steals, and 2.3 3-pointers per game.
