Jimmy Butler will not play on Thursday against the Knicks. Butler was limited severely in his previous game but is hopeful to play on Saturday. Doug McDermott will start in his place with Denzel Valentine seeing more run. (K.C Johnson Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

With Jimmy Butler and Nikola Mirotic out, Dwayne Wade stands to benefit the most. Denzel Valentine, Michael Carter-Williams, Rajon Rondo and Doug McDermott also benefit. Valentine was excellent in his previous game and daily worthy.
