EDGE Analysis

With Stephen Curry (illness) not yet ready to rejoin the lineup, Butler put the Warriors on his shoulders, leading the team in scoring, rebounding and assists on the night while making an impact defensively. The 36-year-old forward has scored at least 20 in seven of 10 games to begin the season, averaging 18.9 points, 5.5 boards, 4.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.9 threes in 30.9 minutes a contest while shooting 50.4 percent from the floor and 40.9 percent from long distance.

EDGE Analysis

Butler did his best to keep Golden State's offense going, but Stephen Curry's (illness) absence proved to be insurmountable in the blowout loss. Butler's return wasn't enough to turn the tide for the Warriors, who slid to 5-5 after an encouraging start to the season. Butler showed no ill effects from the back ailment that sidelined him against the Kings, so he should be good to go against the Pacers this weekend.

EDGE Analysis

Butler is a rather late addition to the injury report, which generally isn't a good sign. It's also worth noting that Tuesday is the front end of Golden State's back-to-back set. Brandin Podziemski would likely see a bump in minutes if Butler is out, while Moses Moody and Buddy Hield would have a clearer pathway to playing time.
