Timberwolves' Jimmy Butler (knee) doubtful to play against Blazers
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler is considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
According to ESPN's Nick Friedell, coach Tom Thibodeau said that Butler is "unlikely" to play in tonight's game. For Butler, it will be his third straight absence. Nemanja Bjelica will start again with Marcus Georges-Hunt getting minutes and Andrew Wiggins acting as the team's primary scorer.
On the year, Butler is averaging 41.0 FanDuel points per game. Our models project him for 41.8 FD points if he's able to return for Thursday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors.
