• Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Productive in Friday's loss

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Butler posted 15 points (6-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 127-120 loss to Minnesota. The veteran forward has been managing a nagging knee issue since the beginning of December, but he handled a full workload Friday and made a solid contribution in the box score. Butler had been on a roll prior to his knee acting up Dec. 2 against the Thunder, and he'd been averaging 21.1 points, 6.0 boards, 5.6 assists and 2.0 steals over 32.2 minutes in the 11 appearances before that early exit. If his knee cooperates, Butler should return to that level of production soon enough.

• Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Scores 19 points with six assists

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Butler (knee) posted 19 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 123-91 win over the Bulls. With the Warriors up big for most of the game, Butler took on more of a facilitator role in the offense. He finished with a plus/minus rating of plus-29 and helped Golden State earn its second straight victory. Butler had missed Golden State's last two games due to left knee injury management, but he looks as though he'll be ready to handle his normal minutes moving forward. He could, however, see his opportunities as a creator take a hit if the Warriors get Stephen Curry (quadriceps) back for their next game Friday versus Minnesota.

With Draymond Green (foot) and Stephen Curry (quadriceps) sidelined, Butler will be the Warriors' go-to player if given the green light.
