Jimmy Butler III - Likely to play Wednesday Butler (pelvis) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Rockets.
Impact Butler is expected to suit up as the Warriors attempt to close out their first-round series against Houston on Wednesday. The star forward sustained the pelvic contusion after playing only eight minutes in last Wednesday's Game 2 loss and subsequently missed Saturday's Game 3 victory. However, Butler played 40 minutes in Monday's Game 4 win, posting 27 points (7-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-12 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one block.
