Butler missed the last two games due to a foot issue, but he was able to suit up Wednesday to lead the Heat in scoring. It marked the seventh time this season Butler has scored 30-plus points in a game, with the last instance before Wednesday taking place March 2 against the Jazz.

The star forward is averaging 21.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.6 steals in 35.1 minutes across his previous 10 appearances. However, with Bam Adebayo (back) out, Butler could take on an increased offensive workload.

Butler has missed back-to-back games due to a foot issue and is listed as questionable again.

Butler’s next opportunity to take the court comes Monday, when Miami finishes up its back-to-back set with a matchup with the 76ers. Butler dealt with an extended absence due to a right toe sprain in December and January, but the Heat haven’t provided an inclination that his current right foot bruise is related. Jaime Jaquez is a candidate to start in Butler’s stead and is averaging 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 19 games without Butler this season.

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.

Butler contributed 23 points (9-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday’s 110-108 loss to Washington.
Butler led the Heat in scoring and contributed in 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 consistent since the end of the All-Star break, scoring at least 20 points in all but one of his last eight outings while averaging 23.3 points per game in that stretch.

Butler ended with 26 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-12 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday’s 118-110 win over the Pistons.
Butler has made it a point of emphasis over his last two appearances to get to the charity stripe and has gone 21-for-23 from the free-throw line over that span. Butler has also been getting his team involved lately, registering six or more assists in six of his last seven games. He’s averaged 25.8 points on 54.8 percent shooting, 5.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 2.2 steals over 34.6 minutes per game over his last five contests.
Butler notched 37 points (12-19 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 10-11 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday’s 126-120 victory over the Jazz.
Butler carried the Heat to victory Saturday, scoring a season-high 37 points. He has now tallied at least 20 points in four straight games, a welcome sight for fantasy managers. While the risk of missed games is an ongoing concern, Butler typically increases his production down the stretch. As long as he can stay on the floor, Butler could be a sneaky top-20 asset moving forward.
Butler posted 21 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday’s 103-97 loss to the Nuggets.
Butler’s consistency despite missing games here and there has been remarkable, and the veteran forward has reached the 20-point mark in nine of his last 10 games without sacrificing his contributions in other categories.

Butler missed Miami’s previous game while serving a suspension for his role in the altercation between the Heat and Pelicans last Friday. The star forward didn’t miss a beat in his return Tuesday, complementing an efficient scoring line with strong work as a distributor and defender. Butler’s four steals marked a season high, and he fell one assist shy of his fifth double-double of the campaign.
Butler (suspension) is available for Tuesday’s game against the Trail Blazers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Butler and Nikola Jovic will both suit up after serving one-game suspensions Monday for their involvement in an on-court altercation during Friday’s win over the Pelicans. Terry Rozier (knee) is also cleared to make his return following a multi-game absence, while Tyler Herro (knee) remains out. Butler shouldn’t face any limitations versus Portland.
