Miami Heat DFS Notes

Jimmy Butler (right knee inflammation) intends to play in Monday's game against the Celtics, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. Butler, who is officially listed as questionable for Game 4, sat out the second half of Saturday's Game 3 victory due to his inflamed knee. According to the report, Butler has experienced issues with his right knee throughout the course of this season. If he is either limited or cannot play on Monday, Victor Oladipo would be in line for a significant increase in playing time.

Boston Celtics DFS Notes

Jayson Tatum (right cervical nerve impingement) is probable for Monday's game against the Heat. Tatum suffered what appeared to be a stinger during the second half of Game 3, but he was able to return to the game. Tatum being listed as probable for Game 4 is obviously great news as far as the Celtics are concerned. If he suffers a setback of some sort, that would put even more responsibility on the shoulders of Jaylen Brown.
