For six seasons now, Jimmy Butler has been one of the top stars for the Miami Heat. He has helped the Heat to two NBA Finals appearances during his tenure with the team. This season, the goal of winning the title hasn't changed as he declared during this year's media day that he's going to take things more seriously now.

Looking at his performances so far, Butler has been a bit inconsistent. During Miami's opening game against the Orlando Magic, he only scored three points in 26 minutes of play. He then made a comeback performance in the next game by nearly putting up a triple-double with 26 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists against the Charlotte Hornets.

Butler had another 20-point outing in their third game, this time against the Detroit Pistons. He registered 23 points, seven assists, four rebounds, and four steals. However, come their next two games, his scoring output dropped to below 20 points. He scored 15 points against the New York Knicks, then 18 points against the Washington Wizards.

With inconsistent performances in his season so far, it remains to be seen what version of Jimmy Butler fans are getting against the Sacramento Kings on Monday.
