Jimmy Butler (illness) leaves early on Monday; won't play Tuesday

by Sean Fitzpatrick | Heat Correspondent | Tue, Jan 10th 1:02pm EST

Jimmy Butler was questionable at best leading up to Monday's game but gave it a go and played 29 minutes through his cold. Butler was able to score only one point but added a team-high seven assists and two rebounds. Butler will miss Tuesday's game while Doug McDermott will start.

Fantasy Impact:

Butler wasn't near 100 percent on Monday and the illness is the reason he will miss Tuesday's game. With Butler out, Doug McDermott and Nikola Mirotic will see more opportunities and make for solid daily plays.
