JIMMY BUTLER NEWS

Modest production Friday Butler ended Friday's 115-90 loss to Dallas with 12 points (3-7 FG, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 26 minutes.

Impact This 12-point output was Butler's lowest-scoring tally since he posted a nine-point effort against the Clippers on Jan. 2. Still, at the very least, Butler has managed to play 10 games in a row, which is a positive sign for fantasy managers who had to deal with his constant absences in both November and December. The veteran forward is averaging 21.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.4 blocks per game in January.

Impact It's the second time in the last four games Butler has scored 30 or more points, something the 33-year-old hadn't done for a month prior to his Jan. 10 outburst against the Thunder. He's playing at a high level right now, averaging 25.0 points, 6.0 boards, 3.0 assists and 1.9 steals over the last seven games while trying to keep an injury-riddled Heat roster afloat.

Impact Butler fell just short of scoring 20-plus points for a fifth consecutive game Thursday, but he managed to record his first double-double since Dec. 15 during the win over Milwaukee. However, the 33-year-old had recorded at least two steals in 11 consecutive appearances prior to Thursday's matchup, but he was unable to log any takeaways against the Bucks. Butler has played at least 32 minutes in each of his six appearances in January, and he's averaged 22.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.2 steals in 34.0 minutes per game during that time.

Goes 23-for-23 from line in win Butler posted 35 points (6-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 23-23 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, four steals and three blocks in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 112-111 win over the Thunder.

Impact The Heat set a single-game NBA record for efficiency from the free-throw line, converting 40 of 40 attempts to break the previous mark set by the Jazz on Dec. 7, 1982 (39 of 39). Butler did the majority of the heavy lifting for the Heat, including converting an old-fashioned three-point play with 12.9 seconds remaining to give Miami a one-point edge. The flawless free-throw shooting on high volume in addition to the ample production in the defensive categories more than offset the uncharacteristically poor shooting from the field for Butler, who is still converting at a career-best 50.9 percent rate from the floor this season.

Impact Butler poured in a team-high 26 points by shooting 42.9 percent from the field, and he also tacked on seven points at the charity stripe. The veteran also secured eight boards, which marks his best rebounding night since Dec. 15 against Houston. Butler has reached the 20-point threshold in three straight contests and is averaging 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.3 steals over this stretch.

Diverse line in win Butler finished Friday's 104-96 victory over the Suns with 20 points (5-9 FG, 10-10 FT), five rebounds, six assists and two steals in 33 minutes.

Impact Victor Oladipo led the team in scoring during Friday's win, but Butler still turned in a solid performance. Contrary to popular belief, there's no ill will between Butler and Oladipo, and it could boost the Heat's playoff fortunes if the duo could spend more time together on the court. While Tyler Herro (back) and Max Strus have been solid scoring options, an All-Star tandem of Butler and Oladipo could be the way for Miami to climb the standings in the East.
