Impact Butler has endured a rough start to the season from a scoring perspective, but he bounced back admirably here and delivered a solid stat line. The veteran forward seems to be shaking off some of the early-season rust and has now scored over 20 points in three of his last five appearances, so fantasy managers should continue to trust him as a must-start player across all formats as long as he remains healthy.
