Jimmy Butler has been ruled out for the second game in consecutive nights against the Milwaukee Bucks. Butler is battling an ankle injury he picked up last Friday against the Pelicans. With Butler out of the lineup, Milwaukee didn’t exactly go easy on Miami as they pounded the reigning Eastern Conference Champions, 144-97.
Moe Harkless got the start in place of Butler, but he finished with just 4 minutes of playing time on the court.
Early money seems to be siding with Miami as the market expects the Heat to respond after their 47-point shellacking on their home court.
