The Miami Heat are once again without All-Star forward Jimmy Butler.  Butler, who missed four games last month with an ankle problem, will sit out Monday’s show

Butler hurt his knee while converting a layup as he was fouled with 1:27 left in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 119-116 loss to the Toronto Raptors at Scotiabank Arena. Butler remained in the game to take and make the free throw, completing the three-point play to cut the Heat’s deficit to three.

It will be a battle of shorthanded teams on Monday night at TD Garden as the Heat visit the Celtics on the tail end of a back-to-back. Miami comes to town coming off a loss against the Raptors Sunday night,
