Jimmy Butler will play against Atlanta Hawks tonight

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Jimmy Butler is set to play for the Golden State Warriors tonight against the Atlanta Hawks. His return comes at an important time, as star player Stephen Curry is out with a pelvis injury. Fans can watch the game at 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV, FDSSE, or NBCS-BA, and it will also be available for streaming on Fubo. Butler’s availability is a big boost for the Warriors. Initially, there were doubts about his status, but the team confirmed he is ready to go. His performance will be crucial for the team, especially with Curry sidelined. Another player, Gary Payton II, is also questionable with a knee issue. This season, Butler has been playing well. He averages 17.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.8 assists over the last 20 games. His contributions on both offense and defense will be key for the Warriors, who have one of the best defensive records in the league. On the other side, the Hawks are dealing with injuries too. Trae Young is listed as probable with an Achilles issue. Young, who leads the team with 24.1 points per game, could play, but the Hawks will miss other important players like Clint Capela and Jalen Johnson, who are out for the season. As the game approaches, all eyes will be on Butler and the Warriors as they aim to secure a necessary win to boost their playoff chances.
