Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler seems to be impressed with Tyler Herro's play through the early stages of this season. So much so, in fact, that Butler has named Tuesdays in his honor.

Butler sent out a tweet on Tuesday afternoon, noting the English origin of the name “Tyler.” He ended his caption with a catchy hashtag: #TylerTuesdays. Whether or not this moniker was a play on LeBron James' “Taco Tuesday” is not clear:

The Heat selected Herro with the 13th overall pick in this year's draft. Early returns have been good, as the former Kentucky Wildcat is playing well in his rookie campaign.

In his 22 appearances with the Heat thus far, Herro has racked up averages of 14.5 points on 44.8 percent shooting from the field (39.2 percent from beyond the arc), 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and just under one steal (0.8) in 29.0 minutes per outing.

Butler, who joined the Heat this offseason, is enjoying a fine season as well. In fact, he's currently averaging career highs in assists and rebounds — all while posting 20.6 points per game.

The Heat (17-6) are off to a great start to this season. They've won five of their last six outings, including Sunday's 110-105 overtime victory over the Chicago Bulls. With the win, Miami moved to 10-0 at home.

Miami will be back in action on Tuesday night, when they'll serve as hosts to the Atlanta Hawks. Tip-off inside AmericanAirlines Arena is set for 8:00 p.m. ET.
