Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Posts double-double
Jimmy Butler logged 18 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 111-95 victory over the Pelicans.Stephen Curry led the way for the Golden State Warriors on offense in his return from a pelvis injury, but Butler was able to make his presence felt across the board while notching his third double-double of the month. Butler might not be the most efficient scorer, as he's shooting only 44 percent from the floor and 26.3 percent from deep. Still, he's doing enough to remain a valuable fantasy alternative due to his all-around contributions. The veteran forward, acquired from the Heat before the trade deadline, is averaging 17.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game in 13 appearances during March.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Leads Golden State in loss
Jimmy Butler provided 25 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 10-14 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Saturday's 124-115 loss to the Hawks.Butler was coming off a triple-double in the win over the Raptors on Thursday, tallying 16 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. Even though he didn't fill the stat sheet this time, he delivered another impressive outing, leading Golden State in points and assists despite the defeat. Butler has scored over 20 points in three of his last four outings, and he should operate as the Golden State Warriors' go-to player on offense as long as Stephen Curry (pelvis) remains sidelined.

Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Leads team with 23 points
Jimmy Butler provided 23 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 114-105 loss to the Nuggets.Butler's addition was a big part of the Golden State Warriors' winning streak, which was snapped by Denver on Monday night.

Butler was excellent during the seven-game winning streak, averaging 16.4 points, 6.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals over the span.
