Warriors' Jimmy Butler: Ready to go vs. Denver

Butler (forearm) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Similar to Stephen Curry (pelvis), Butler was also deemed a game-time call, but he'll suit up and should deliver his characteristic toughness and two-way play, traits that have had a huge impact for Golden State. Butler is averaging 17.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game over his last 10 appearances while helping to carry the Warriors to a 7-3 record in that span.
