Next Game vs Northwestern · Fri 12:00AM
Jalen Thomas - Plays 31 minutes Thomas accumulated four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds and two blocks across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 62-50 loss to Villanova.
Impact As a Butler player, Thomas has logged 30-plus minutes across four of his eight games started. But for the other half, he played less than 20. It appears Thomas' fantasy managers will receive one or the other whenever he is part of Butler's starting lineup, which could continue happening temporarily if Ali Ali (illness) must sit out more games.

DJ Hughes - Misses another outing Hughes (illness) did not play in Butler's 62-50 loss to Villanova on Tuesday.
Impact Hughes has been made unavailable for Butler's last five games due to an illness, and his next opportunity to suit up now comes Sunday versus Georgetown. The 6-foot-6 sophomore is currently averaging two points and 2.4 rebounds per contest across 12 matchups suited up for this year.

Chuck Harris - Plays 18 minutes Harris produced four points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 62-50 loss to Villanova.
Impact Harris logged a minute tally one would expect from a valued backup, a role that fantasy managers should not continue expecting from the junior based on previous Butler games. He was regularly part of Butler's starting lineup from Nov. 7 to Jan. 28 pre-concussion. But if he does continue operating as a backup, that would give Eric Hunter and Jayden Taylor continued chances to be the Bulldogs' starting backcourt.
