Butler says he's good to go

Caron Butler said he's good to go tonight against New Orleans.

"I came in yesterday on the day off and I feel much better,'' he said. "I had a real good workout and I look forward to playing tonight.''

Butler said he was close to playing Friday in Atlanta.

"I definitely tried to, but had a little more stiffness and decided to give it another day or two,'' he said.
