Jimmy Butler finished Friday's loss to the Timberwolves with 16 points (6-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal.Butler had a relatively quiet outing on Friday, despite leading the Warriors in rebounds and tying for the most assists. He made only 2-of-4 shots in the second half and registered just one point in the fourth quarter. The veteran forward's scoring has slowed down in December compared to the previous two months. He'll be in solid shape from a fantasy basketball perspective if he can regain his form as a scorer.
Stephen Curry, Pat Spencer, Buddy Hield, Jimmy Butler III and Quinten Post will start Friday's game against the Timberwolves.Curry is back after missing five games with a left quad contusion/strain, and his inclusion is the lone change to the starting lineup. He replaces rookie Will Richard, with Spencer remaining in the starting five due to his current hot streak. Richard will still get rotation minutes, but the move to the bench lowers his fantasy ceiling.
