Jimmy Butler scored 27 points on 9-of-16 shooting (1-of-1 from deep, 8-of-8 from the line) with 12 rebounds and five assists in Tuesday’s blowout win over the Blazers.

Butler can be a stud if Rajon Rondo continues to fade out of a prominent role because Dwyane Wade is more than willing to let Butler carry a big time load.  Taj Gibson kept up with the useful production on a 12 & 11 night with two blocks, Wade scored 19 points with a full stat line, and Robin Lopez is humming along after 13 points, 11 boards and one block in the win.
