Jared Butler led the 76ers with 25 points (9-of-18 FGs), four rebounds, seven assists, two steals and four three-pointers in a 124-110 loss to the Hawks on Friday.
This was one of Butler’s best performances of the season, and it ended up being his highest-scoring game as a 76er. He scored 26 points in January when he was with the Wizards, which actually came against the 76ers. Butler has been an excellent fantasy option during the final few weeks of the last few seasons, but he hasn’t been able to find a situation where he can play a significant role early on. That is unlikely to change with Philadelphia next season, but he should play a ton in the season finale against Chicago on Sunday.
Jared Butler recorded 16 points (7-of-15 FGs), one rebound, eight assists, one steal and one three-pointer in 32 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Timberwolves.
Jared Butler amassed 19 points (7-of-12 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and four three-pointers in 29 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Heat.
Jared Butler started on Monday and contributed 19 points (8-of-16 FGs), two rebounds, two assists, three steals and three three-pointers against the Pelicans.
After coming off the bench on Sunday, Butler returned to the starting unit on the second night of a back-to-back. His last few games had been subpar, but he had one of his best scoring nights of the season on Monday. Unfortunately, it was paired with an uncharacteristically low assist night for him, though he made up for it with a new season-high for steals. Butler should continue to play a large role for the tanking 76ers for the rest of the season.
