Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (right quad contusion) is expected to play on Tuesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Butler is listed as questionable on the injury report, but it sounds like he's closer to probable for Tuesday night's contest. Over the last two games, Butler averaged 28.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.5 steals in 33.0 minutes per contest. Max Strus, Kyle Lowry, Tyler Herro, and Bam Adebayo will be in line for larger roles if Butler suffers a setback during pregame warmups.
numberFire's models project Butler for 33.1 minutes and 35.8 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has an $8,400 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Heat’s implied total (102.75) and the game total (211.0) are both the lowest for today's five-game slate.
