Jimmy Butler finished with eight points on 4-of-10 shooting and put up five rebounds, five assists, and one block in 30 minutes versus Houston.

Fantasy Impact:

After the game, Timberwolves' head coach Tom Thibodeau said Butler didn't play in the fourth quarter due to knee soreness. Butler's struggles in Game 5 should not be too concerning to fantasy owners, as Butler's play time was limited for cautionary reasons and he should be good to go next year after having all offseason to recover.
