Jimmy Butler
Position: PG/SG
Salary: $16,800 / $11,200
Golden State lost the 2nd half of game one 55 to 57 without Stephen Curry, and we saw Playoff Jimmy Butler step up, playing 21 minutes, shooting the ball 13 times and dishing six assists to zero turnovers. Buddy Hield got scorching hot, and we’ll get to him shortly, but Butler was, as it was expect, the Warrior who saw the biggest usage and offensive creation bump with Curry sidelined. If we extrapolate those numbers to a full game, we see that 26 shots and 12 assists would both be Jimmy’s Playoff highs this season, highlighting his potential. Adding that to the fact that he grabbed 28 boards on the past two games, and Butler is on triple-double watch! Jimmy has proven time and time again that he’s a Playoff superstar, and in a 40+ minute primary creator role his fantasy upside is off the charts.
