This one could be popular today. Jimmy Butler is a guy who can turn up a notch in games that matter more. This NBA Finals rematch against Denver should be one of those games where we should see him a little more dialed in that regular and I expect high usage and for the ball to be in his hands.
Miami Heat vs. Denver Nuggets Prediction
Denver may not be a perfect matchup but he has a history of hitting this soft line against them and this game should be relatively close. Butler has hit this in his last four games averaging 8.5 assists a night, flying over the measly five that we need. Despite Terry Rozier returning, Butler had nine assists last game with 16 potential assists, if he sees similar volume his passes just need to be converted 31% of the time.
Tyler Herro is currently questionable and him sitting out would help us, but I like this either way. Butler has been vocal in the past about coasting through the regular season and only coming alive in marquee matchups, I’m sure he wants revenge from last years playoffs. Five assists is nothing, get the ball in your best players hands and let him be a playmaker. Let's roll!
