Lawrence Butler Returns to the Lineup Wednesday

Butler missed the last three games with a hamstring injury

Butler, a 6-foot-7 forward, is averaging 12.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game this season. He is expected to start at power forward for the Knicks against the Miami Heat on Wednesday night.

The Knicks have gone 1-2 without Butler in the lineup

The Knicks are hoping that Butler's return will help them snap a two-game losing streak. They are currently 10-12 on the season and in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

Butler is a key player for the Knicks

Butler is one of the Knicks' most versatile players. He can score inside and out, and he is a good rebounder and defender. His return should give the Knicks a boost on both ends of the court.
