The Miami Heat finally won their first game of the season when they faced off against the Toronto Raptors. And Jimmy Butler is the one towing the team across the line.
His 24-5-4 was enough to beat the Raptors. In this back-to-back, the Miami Heat will look to add to their momentum and make it two wins in a row. They will need Butler to lead the line.
But will he play the second game against the Raptors?
