Scores 26 points Friday
Butler logged 26 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 121-111 victory over the Raptors.
Analysis
Butler has been slightly disappointing in most formats this season, but he delivered one of his most efficient performances of the campaign Friday. He's been turning things around of late, and the veteran has scored at least 23 points in four of his last five appearances since returning from a four-game absence in mid-November.

Will be available Friday
Butler (back) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
The Heat will be close to full strength Friday, with Butler leading the way after he was listed as probable in Thursday's injury report. Since missing four games with an ankle injury in mid-November, Butler is averaging 23.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 0.5 steals per game.
28 November 2024
Expected to play Friday
Butler is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors due to back tightness.
Analysis
Butler posted six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 win over the Hornets before exiting due to a tight back. It appears the veteran's removal was simply precautionary, and he should be back in action Friday. Before Wednesday's game, Butler had scored at least 23 points in three straight appearances, averaging 28.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 36.3 minutes per game.

Battles back issue Wednesday
Butler provided six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 win over the Hornets before sitting out the final 14:57 of the game due to a tight back, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis
Despite the limited playing time, Butler drilled two triples before his exit late in the third quarter, nearly matching his combined total (three) from his first 11 appearances of the season. With head coach Erik Spoelstra opting to stay away from Butler in the fourth quarter, the Heat turned to Haywood Highsmith, Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez to help fill the vacated minutes. Butler should be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Heat's next game Friday versus the Raptors.

Drops team-high 23 in loss
Butler racked up 23 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 11-13 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 loss to the Bucks.
Analysis
The 35-year-old led the Heat in scoring on the night, although he failed to produce at least 30 points for a third straight game. Butler has been particularly busy at the free-throw line since missing four games with an ankle injury, making at least 13 trips to the charity stripe in each of his last three contests. During that brief stretch, Butler averaged 28.7 points, 7.7 boards and 5.3 assists while shooting 61.0 percent from the floor and 83.3 percent on all those free throws.

Surpasses 30 points in overtime win
Butler posted 33 points (11-17 FG, 11-16 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 overtime win over the Mavericks.
Analysis
Butler did it all for Miami in Sunday's extended contest, leading all players in scoring while handing out a team-best assist total and coming up one rebound shy of a double-double showing. Butler has been red hot of late, posting at least 30 points, nine rebounds and five assists in two straight outings.
24 November 2024
Good to go Sunday
Butler (illness) will play in Sunday's game against the Mavericks, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Analysis
Butler missed Saturday's practice due to the illness, though he should be good to shoulder his normal workload Sunday. The veteran forward returned to game action in Monday's win over the 76ers after missing four consecutive games with a sprained right ankle, during which he logged 30 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 13-13 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 34 minutes.
23 November 2024
Iffy against Dallas
Butler (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Mavericks.
Analysis
Butler missed Saturday's practice due to an illness and could be forced to sit out Sunday. If Butler is unable to suit up against Dallas, Haywood Highsmith, Jaime Jaquez and Pelle Larsson are all candidates to receive increased playing time.
