Jimmy Butler flirted with a triple-double for the Warriors Thursday night, dishing out nine assists, grabbing nine rebounds, and chipping in 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3PT, 3-4 FT) while also recording one steal in a 126-116 win over the Mavericks.
Fantasy Impact:
Butler continues a solid stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with one or more rebounds, two or more assists, and 14 or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran forward continues to offer head coach Steve Kerr with one of the more stable lineup options as part of an aging Golden State starting five, averaging 19.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game while posting a 22.0% usage rate so far this season.
