Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's Game 2 against the New York Knicks, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. This is tough as Butler has been red-hot in the playoffs. He suffered an ankle injury with around five minutes left in the fourth quarter on Game 1. Butler remained in the game, but was cleared limited due to the issue. The Heat are likely going to wait and see how Butler feels closer to game time on Tuesday. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Butler.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game versus the New York Knicks. Butler led the team with 25 points, 11 rebounds and four assists in 43 minutes despite suffering the injury. Butler was extremely limited after going down and his status for Game 2 is now in doubt. Butler will now have two days of rest before the next game as the Heat try to navigate this.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (glute) had a big night in the Game 4 postseason victory over Milwaukee. The 33-year-old finished with 56 points, tying him with Wilt Chamberlain, Michael Jordan, and Charles Barkley for the fourth-most points in a single playoff game in NBA history. He shot the ball well, too, going 19-for-28 from the field and 3-for-8 from deep while adding nine rebounds and a block. Butler came into this one hobbled by a glute injury suffered in Game 3 on Saturday. However, he looked fine and should remain on the DFS radar for Game 5 on Wednesday evening.

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (glute) is questionable to play Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Butler is dealing with a sore glute and did not go through practice on Sunday. Head coach Erik Spoelstra stated Butler was receiving a maintenance day, but his status should be confirmed ahead of Game 4. If Butler somehow sits, the Heat will have to rely heavily on Caleb Martin with Victor Oladipo (knee) out.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (back) finished with a game-high 30 points in the Game 3 win over Milwaukee. The veteran shot the ball well, going 12-for-19 from the field and sinking all four of his tries from deep. However, he suffered a bruised lower back after taking a spill, causing him to exit the contest briefly. While Butler managed to return to the game, there's a chance he'll pop up on the injury report heading toward Game 4 on Monday night. He'll likely play if that's the case, considering Miami has the lead in the series, but he could be limited if his injury takes a turn for the worse in the coming days.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler took control of the offense yet again but it wasn't enough as the team still got blown out in Game 2 on the road. The Marquette product ended the game with 25 points, three assists, three rebounds, and two steals as he shot 8-for-12 overall, 2-for-4 from three, and 7-for-10 from the line. Butler is going to be the most surefire option in any DFS lineup from Miami. The rest of the team, on the other hand, is a lot riskier. They all should get a small boost as they return home for the next two games.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler flipped his playoff switch as posted a huge performance and led all scorers in a 130-117 victory over the first-seed Milwaukee Bucks. The 33-year-old finished the game with 35 points, 11 assists, five rebounds, and three steals on 15-for-27 shooting and 5-for-8 from the line. Playoff Jimmy has already arrived and now that Tyler Herro (hand) will most likely be out for the rest of the postseason, he's going to need another level beyond that to help the team pull off a full first-round upset.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) wasn't in practice Thursday. He had had to deal with a personal issue and is fully expected to be ready to play Friday versus Chicago. Butler always rises to the occasion and we should see a big performance from him in the decisive play-in game. The former Bull struggled with his shot Tuesday against Atlanta but still notched 21 points with four rebounds, nine assists, two steals and one block. He has averaged 24.5 points per game in his previous 12 career appearances against his former team, which is by far the highest mark Butler has managed against any opposition.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler finished with 21 points, nine assists, four rebounds, and two steals on Tuesday against the Hawks. Unfortunately, the veteran had a rough shooting night, going 6-for-19 from the field while missing his only three-point try. In all fairness, everyone on the Miami roster not named Kyle Lowry struggled. Nevertheless, Butler has a reputation for increasing his production in the postseason, so he's still a top DFS option on Friday versus the winner of Wednesday's contest between the Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (hand) will sit out of the team's game on Friday against the Washington Wizards. Right now, the Heat would need the Brooklyn Nets to lose to an already weaker Orlando Magic team with many of their key players hovering in questionable status. Instead of banking on getting lucky, the Heat will rest their starters and allow the bench squad to try and take a win over Washington. If fantasy managers are desperate, they will have to take some risks with many key players sitting out on Friday.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was tied for the lead in points with teammate Tyler Herro as they destroyed the 76ers by 28 points. The 33-year-old ended the game with 24 points, six assists, and three rebounds while shooting 9-for-12 from the floor and 1-for-3 from deep. Butler only played 29 minutes in this game as the game was already in hand quite early on. The win clinched the division, but Miami still has to pay attention to what the Brooklyn Nets do in their last couple of games. If Miami stays in contention for the sixth seed, Butler should continue to play.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler turned a red-hot shooting night into a 35-point, 12-assist double-double Saturday against Dallas, lifting his team to a 129-122 win. He nailed 12 of 16 attempts from the field and finished 10-for-11 at the charity stripe, completing his line with three rebounds and one steal. Butler was 1-for-3 from deep and impressively committed zero turnovers across 37 minutes of playing time. The veteran star has had a couple of quiet outings lately, but he averaged a 25-6-5 line for March and kicked off the new month in style as well, so there's nothing wrong with his form.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (neck) has been listed as out for their game against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday night. The star forward is dealing with neck soreness, so he won't be able to suit up for the first time since late January. While he's out, Max Strus and Caleb Martin will see some extra run. Strus would be the better streaming option of the two as he averages 14.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across 28 starts this season.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler put in a super-efficient double-double performance against Detroit on Sunday, finishing a 112-100 victory with 26 points and a season-high 10 assists. He shot 8-for-11 from the field and went 10-for-11 with his free throws, wrapping things up with four rebounds and one steal. Butler does it all for Miami on a nightly basis and has taken more scoring responsibilities this month, pushing his points production to 26.0 points. The Heat are trying to find their way out of the play-in tournament, which should guarantee that Butler continues his best stretch of the campaign right until the end of the regular season.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler had a season-high 38 points Saturday night against the Magic but it wasn't enough to help the team to victory. The Heat went ice-cold in overtime and took a 126-114 loss. It was a struggle for most players on the team, but Butler had a great outing with 14-for-25 shooting from the field. He finished 2-for-7 with the three-ball and completed his line with five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two turnovers. Butley now boasts eight 30-point games for the season and three of them have come this month. He's been super-efficient with his shots, and Butler, of course, always delivers in other areas as well.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler did everything he could to grab a much-needed win over the Cleveland Cavaliers but ultimately fell short by four points. The 33-year-old ended with 28 points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals, and one block while shooting 8-for-14 from the floor and 12-for-15 from the line. He was unable to hit any threes in this matchup, but he was doing everything else while the rest of the team didn't help him out much. The only thing holding Butler back in fantasy is health, otherwise, fantasy managers can ride his stats to the finals.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. There was some concern that Butler would miss this game because it's the second night of a back-to-back set. Luckily, the 33-year-old will suit up and is expected to play his normal role on Saturday. He has been on fire lately, so fantasy managers need to make sure he's in their lineups for Saturday's slate.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) left the team's last contest on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers to get treatment for his knee soreness. While this did come toward the end of a blowout game, the fact he actually had to leave wasn't a great sign. Now that he's received a questionable tag, it seems like it could be a pain threshold sort of judgment call for Butler. If he is unable to suit up, Max Strus and Caleb Martin would likely see some extra time.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) exited the game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday during the fourth quarter to receive treatment on his right knee. At the moment, it's being described as just right knee soreness and more news hasn't come out about it further. The Heat have had one of the most injured rosters across the league and Butler is no stranger to the injury report. Right now the team sits in the seventh seed in the East and a game and a half back from the sixth. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to see if this is something that Butler can play through because the team will need him to if possible.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was outstanding in Monday's big battle with Philadelphia, leading his troops with 23 points and notching 11 rebounds, nine assists and four steals.

He then added a free throw to complete the scoring in a 101-99 win for the Heat. Butler made his only attempt from deep and shot 9-for-14 overall from the field with a 4-for-6 record at the charity stripe. The six-time All-Star is among the most versatile players in the league and is always up for a big occasion.
