Butler contributed 35 points (11-19 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 11-14 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and four steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 victory over the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

The big scoring night on efficient shooting from the field and free-throw line along with strong outputs in the assists and steals categories and rare production in the three-point column enabled Butler to finish one of his better all-around fantasy lines of the season. The Heat have now won seven of their last 10 games, and Butler's play has been a major reason why Miami is surging as the season winds down. He's averaging 27.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.6 steals and is shooting 58.6 percent from the field over that 10-game stretch.

Butler provided 26 points (8-11 FG, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 victory over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Butler led the Heat in scoring, assists, shots made and free throws made en route to a double-double performance while setting a new season-high assist mark in Sunday's victory. Butler has notched a double-double 10 times this season, doing so for the first time since March 6 against Atlanta.

Butler amassed 24 points (5-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 13-15 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks across 31 minutes during Monday's 119-115 victory over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old led the Heat in scoring, but Miami featured a balanced attack overall as seven different players scored in double digits, including all five starters. Butler has topped 20 points in five straight games and nine of 11 since the All-Star break, averaging 26.1 points, 6.5 boards, 4.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 threes over that stretch as the Heat try to climb out of the play-in tournament and lock up a playoff spot.

Butler closed Saturday's 126-114 overtime loss to the Magic with 38 points (14-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 39 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Butler nailed an off-balance, contested three-pointer to force overtime, but Miami was ultimately outlasted in the extra period. The star forward's heroics likely didn't go unnoticed from fantasy managers, who have continued to ride the wave of Butler avoiding the injuries that have nagged him in seasons past. The 33-year-old has appeared in 20 straight games for Miami, averaging 24.3 points, 5.9 boards, 5.2 assists and 1.5 steals during that stretch while shooting a magnificent 54.9 percent from the field and 85 percent from the free-throw line.

Butler ended with 33 points (12-16 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 35 minutes during Friday's 119-115 win over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Butler was efficient from the field and active on both ends of the court en route to posting another full stat line, but that's something fantasy managers regularly expect from the star forward. Butler has surpassed the 25-point mark in four of his last five appearances and is averaging a robust 25.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game while shooting an excellent -- and probably unsustainable -- 61.3 percent from the field and 60 percent from deep in six March contests.

Butler closed Wednesday's 104-100 loss to Cleveland with 28 points (8-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 12-15 FT), five rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 35 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

As per usual, Butler produced a good chunk of his offense at the free-throw line and was efficient from the field while generally eschewing three-point attempts. For fantasy managers that are punting three-pointers and blocks, Butler has produced at a top-five level on a per-game basis this season. His overall value is similarly high, as Butler has proven more durable than anticipated this season, especially since the beginning of December. He's appeared in 39 of the Heat's past 45 contests.

Butler played 33 minutes and supplied 26 points (8-14 FG, 10-12 FT), nine rebounds and nine assists in Monday's 130-128 win over the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Though his stat line was lacking in its usual production in the steals category, Butler once again came through with excellent numbers in the three major fantasy categories and recorded his points on his usual efficient shooting from the field and free-throw line. Thanks largely to eschewing three-point shots -- his 1.6 attempts per game are his fewest since 2012-23 -- Butler has been able to bring his true shooting percentage up to a career-best 63 percent mark this season.

Butler (knee) has been cleared to play Saturday against the Hawks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Butler will play through some right knee soreness, making it 16 straight appearances for the veteran. During this stretch, he's averaged 23.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.7 steals in 31.6 minutes.

Butler is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta with right knee soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Butler is at risk of sitting out Saturday's closing end of a back-to-back set after having not missed a game since Jan. 24. He has appeared in both legs of four of the Heat's nine back-to-back sets so far this season. If he were to miss, Caleb Martin and Max Strus would be in line for larger workloads.

Butler amassed 33 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 18-20 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 122-120 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Butler came into Friday with a questionable tag due to right knee soreness, so that is something to monitor with the Heat playing again Saturday against the Hawks. Butler hasn't missed any action since Jan. 24 and could potentially be due for a maintenance day in the near future.
