Impact Butler popped up on the injury report Tuesday with an illness, but it wasn't severe enough to keep him out of Wednesday's rematch of the 2022-23 NBA Finals. It was a tough night on the offensive side of the floor for the Heat, with Butler's 15 points second on the team behind Bam Adebayo. Butler is averaging 22.5 points on 50.0 percent shooting, 5.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.0 steals over 36.6 minutes per game in March.

Probable for Wednesday Butler (illness) is probable for Wednesday's game versus Denver, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

Impact Butler was held out of practice Tuesday, but given the probable tag, the illness is likely not too severe. In Butler's last five games, he averaged 24.0 points, 6.4 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 three-pointers.

MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Butler led the Heat in scoring and also contributed on peripheral categories, something he does with absolute ease on a game-to-game basis, so his overall stat line wasn't much of a surprise in a game the Heat surprisingly lost to the Wizards. Butler has been very consistent since the end of the All-Star break, though, scoring at least 20 points in all but one of his last eight outings while averaging 23.3 points per game in that stretch.
