Acquired the previous weekend in a blockbuster deal with Minnesota, All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler scored 14 points in his 76ers debut Wednesday night, a 111-106 loss to Orlando. He added four rebounds and two assists in his first appearance in Philadelphia's starting lineup.
Fantasy Impact:
Butler's debut as a 76er did not play out quite as envisioned as Philadelphia blew a 16-point fourth quarter lead to the Magic on Wednesday. Despite the loss, Butler looked like he is already fitting well into Philadelphia's lineup and rotation. While his scoring might take a hit with his move to a team that features a prolific interior scorer like Joel Embiid and a primary ball-handler like Ben Simmons, Butler should continue to produce at a very high level, keeping him among the league's upper echelon of stat-stuffing fantasy performers.
