Butler closed Thursday's 123-105 loss to the Celtics with five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The 76ers were once again shorthanded Thursday, but Butler wasn't very involved in this loss. If the 76ers switch their focus towards player development in the final weeks of the season, Butler will be a potential name to monitor in fantasy formats because he's a player that has shown plenty of flashes this season when the minutes are there.

Butler will return to the bench for Thursday's game against Boston, Austin Krell of OnPattison.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Tyrese Maxey (knee) back after a one game absence, Butler will go back to the second unit. On the season, Butler is averaging 7.1 points, 2.7 assists, 1.4 rebounds, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks over 11.9 minutes.

The 76ers converted Butler's two-way deal into a standard two-year pact Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Butler will join the club on a standard deal after having been acquired by the Sixers via a trade from Washington last Thursday. The 24-year-old out of Baylor is averaging 10.0 points, 4.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks across 17.3 minutes per game in three outings (one start) with Philadelphia. He has shot 42.3 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from three-point range in that three-game span.

Butler racked up eight points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 100-96 loss to Brooklyn.

EDGE Analysis

Butler didn't have a good shooting performance after missing seven of his nine attempts from the floor, but he salvaged his fantasy output by delivering season-high marks in both assists and blocks. Butler started due to the absence of Tyrese Maxey (knee), and he might remain in the starting lineup if Maxey isn't recovered by the time the 76ers play the Celtics on Feb. 20 after the All-Star break.

Butler will be in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Nets, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Butler will join fellow 76ers newcomer Quentin Grimes in the starting lineup Wednesday in Brooklyn. With Tyrese Maxey (knee) ruled out for the matchup against the Nets, the 23-year-old guard, who was recently traded to the team, will get a chance to show Philadelphia what he can do when thrust into a larger role. This will be the first start of the 2024-25 campaign for the Baylor product.

Butler finished Tuesday's 106-103 loss to the Raptors with 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, four rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Butler made the most of his limited playing time Tuesday, finishing as the 76ers' second-leading scorer behind Joel Embiid (27). It was Butler's second game playing for Philadelphia since being traded by Washington at the trade deadline, and performances like Tuesday's will go a long way in carving a consistent role for himself off the bench.

The Wizards traded Butler and four second-round picks to the 76ers in exchange for Reggie Jackson and a 2026 first-round pick, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Butler was on a two-way deal in Washington, averaging 6.9 points, 2.6 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 11.3 minutes across 32 NBA appearances. However, the 24-year-old guard will now likely compete for depth minutes in Philadelphia's backcourt behind Tyrese Maxey and Kyle Lowry.

Butler was a healthy inactive for Tuesday's 111-88 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Butler had suited up for each of the team's first 41 games of the season, but since he's a two-way player, he can be active for just nine more games before Washington would have to upgrade him to a standard contract to make him eligible for NBA action. As such, Butler could be in line for more occasional inactive statuses in the weeks to come until the Wizards can find room for him on the 15-man roster.

Butler logged 26 points (11-19 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 109-103 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Butler provided a significant boost off Washington's bench Wednesday, turning in a team-high 26 points and seven assists in just 20 minutes. The former second-rounder has benefitted immensely from the recent absences of Jordan Poole (hip) and Malcolm Brogdon (foot), as Butler is averaging 19.0 points, 5.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.0 threes in 20.6 minutes over his past three games. Butler should continue to hold short-term streaming value while Poole and Brogdon are sidelined, but he has a two-way contract that puts him at risk of being sent back to the G League once the Wizards get healthier.

Butler closed Tuesday's 135-112 loss to the Rockets with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, one block and one steal over 22 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

This performance comes on the heels of a 17-point effort Sunday against the Pelicans. The Wizards are dealing with injuries to both Jordan Poole (hip) and Malcolm Brogdon (foot) right now, opening the door for Butler to be a serviceable streaming option in the short term, if not longer.
