Heat's Jimmy Butler: Efficient in low-scoring effort
Jimmy Butler finished with 15 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-107 loss to New York.Butler had a rough showing in the season with a three-point performance (1-8 FG) in the loss to the Magic on Oct. 23, and while he responded with two straight games with at least 20 points, he had another low-scoring effort Wednesday. Even if his scoring numbers haven't been as good as in previous years, Butler is improving in the efficiency department. Excluding the dud in the season opener, Butler is shooting 57.1 percent from the field while attempting 11.7 shots per game, so he's trending in the right direction even if the scoring numbers aren't backing that up.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Bounces back with all-around outing
Jimmy Butler ended with 26 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-17 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 win over the Hornets.Butler's three-point performance in the season-opening loss to the Magic probably worried some fantasy managers, but the veteran bounced back in a big way versus Charlotte. He did most of his work at the free-throw line, but his 11-for-17 mark did more harm than good in category leagues. However, Butler has shot above 85 percent from the charity stripe in four straight seasons, so Saturday's effort looks like an outlier for now.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Ineffective in defeat
Jimmy Butler recorded three points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 116-97 loss to the Magic.Butler struggled to find the bottom of the basket and looked out of sorts in the opener. He only turned the ball over once and is seemingly 100 percent healthy, so his result was a bit surprising. Butler's biggest flaw is his durability. The highest attendance he's achieved recently was in 2016 when he played 76 games with Chicago.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Leading scorer Wednesday
Jimmy Butler logged 24 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals over 21 minutes in Wednesday's 120-111 preseason win over the Hawks.Despite the Miami Heat playing the second game of a back-to-back, Butler and the rest of the starters each played 20-plus minutes Wednesday. It didn't seem to bother him, as he led both teams in scoring in an efficient manner. Butler was unable to play in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs after suffering a right MCL sprain during the Heat's Play-In Game loss to the 76ers last year, but he was cleared to participate in training camp without restrictions. Butler just turned 35, and his health during the 2024-25 campaign will be worth monitoring as he's missed at least 20 regular-season games in three of the last four years.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Full go for camp
Jimmy Butler (knee) will be a full go for training camp this week, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.Butler suffered a right MCL sprain during Miami's Play-In Game loss to the 76ers, but he had a healthy offseason for the most part. Butler's durability has been a major red flag for fantasy managers, as he's missed 20 or more regular-season games three times in the past four seasons. He's been challenged by Pat Riley to get back on track, however, and Butler made it clear that he's up to the task.
