Add. Pat Spencer produces more when Jimmy Butler is out of the lineup, and this is not a small sample.
Butler is out with a long-term issue described as carrying a nine-to-12-month recovery window, with a possible return date of 2026-12-01, though that target is soft.
Across 44 games without Butler, Spencer has averaged 19.35 FPG on 21.9 minutes, compared to 10.35 FPG on 11.3 minutes with him active. Forty-four games is a real sample, not a hot streak.
He's also trending up lately: 19.2 FPG over his last 10 games, up 2.9 FPG, with minutes climbing to 22.8 per game over that stretch versus 18.3 for the season. His usage over his last five games sits at 26.7%, up from 18.2% for the season.
On a season level he sits at 16.3 FPG, ranked 288th, and is rostered in just 1.97% of leagues, so he should be sitting on the wire in nearly every format.
For props, points and assists are the markets to watch given the minutes and usage bump; his defensive stats haven't moved.
