Impact As expected, Butler, who was initially listed as questionable with a right quadriceps contusion, will be available for a third consecutive contest following a late scratch due to a lower back injury.

Expected to play Tuesday Butler (quad) is expected to take the floor Tuesday against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact While he's officially listed as questionable, Butler appears to be on track to take his usual spot in the lineup, coming off of back-to-back 28-plus-point performances in his last two tilts. Next on the schedule is a Cavaliers team sporting the best defensive rating in the league, so it may be a bit more of a challenge Tuesday.

Near 30-point performance in defeat Butler supplied 28 points (11-14 FG, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 122-117 loss to the Hornets.

Leads all scorers with 29 points Butler accumulated 29 points (10-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 9-12 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 110-105 victory over the Magic.

Impact Butler returned to action Friday, coming up big down the stretch, leading the Heat to a hard-fought victory. Missed games continue to be a thorn in the side of managers, something that will likely stick around for the remainder of the season. His per-game value is right where it needs to be, providing at least some comfort to managers. It's unlikely anyone will bite on a trade request, meaning those rostering Butler will have to keep their fingers crossed when it comes to missed games.

Records five thefts in win Butler ended with 18 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five steals, four rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Sunday's 100-96 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact The five steals are the most notably takeaway from Butler's stat line in a game in which he settled for just a 15.4 percent usage rate while point guard Kyle Lowry (17 points in 30 minutes) took on more responsibility. With five games under 20 points in his last six contests, Butler's offensive production has tapered off of late, but he's still converting at a 55.7 percent clip from the field and a 90 percent rate from the free-throw line during that stretch.
