Butler had 16 points (4-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 boards, four steals and a block in 48 minutes of an overtime win over the Heat on Sunday.

Analysis:

He struggled with his shot a little, but he played superb defense on LeBron James, limiting him to 17 points on 8-of-23 shooting, while keeping James off the free-throw line completely for the first time in four-plus seasons. Butler is averaging 44.4 minutes per game over his last five, and could be one of the league leaders in minutes over the remainder of the season, making him a must-start in most fantasy formats.
