The Thunder won their seventh consecutive game, improving to a Western Conference best 22 5.

Butler, who left Friday's game against the Thunder due to an illness, will not travel with the team to Orlando and his status for Saturday's game for the Magic is uncertain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Jaquez's stat line was nondescript, with his starting the third quarter being more notable. The Heat lost Jimmy Butler (illness) during the first half, and he also sprained his left ankle. If Butler cannot play in Saturday's game against the Magic, Jaquez may be Erik Spoelstra's choice to fill the resulting void in the starting lineup.

Butler played only seven minutes in the first quarter on Friday, not attempting a shot and dishing out two assists. During the second quarter, the Heat announced that he felt ill and would not return. If Butler misses more time, Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will have added importance to the Heat.
