Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo records double-double in OT win
Fri, Feb 21, 2025, 5:41 PM
Bam Adebayo recorded a double-double on Friday with 19 points (8-of-13 FGs), 12 rebounds and one assist against the Raptors.
Analysis: After missing Miami's final game before the All-Star break with a knee contusion, Adebayo was back in the lineup on Friday. He scored six of the Heat's 13 points in overtime to help end their four-game losing streak. Overall, it has been a subpar season for Adebayo, but he has played well over their last few games. He didn't provide much outside of his double-double in this game, but he'll look to provide a more well-rounded stat line in Milwaukee on Sunday to close out the week. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins scores 25 points in win Friday
Fri, Feb 21, 2025, 4:58 PM
Andrew Wiggins lit up the Raptors with 25 points (9-of-19 FGs), eight rebounds, one assist, two steals and two three-pointers on Friday.
Analysis: Wiggins' first two games with Miami didn't go well, but in his first game after the All-Star break, Wiggins was excellent. He came up big late in the game by hitting three free throws to force overtime, and then he scored four of Miami's 13 points in overtime to help put the game away. Wiggins was enjoying a bounce back season prior to being traded from Golden State, and if he can continue to produce like he did in this game, there's no reason to think that can't continue. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro posts 28/3/7 line with four triples
Fri, Feb 21, 2025, 4:49 PM
Tyler Herro led the Heat with 28 points (10-of-18 FGs), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and four three-pointers in a 120-111 overtime win over the Raptors on Friday.
Analysis: Less than a week after winning the Starry Three-Point Contest, Herro added four more triples in his first game after the All-Star break. That was enough for the Heat to end their four-game losing streak that they entered the break with. Herro has had the best season of his career, which led to him making his first All-Star Game. With Jimmy Butler now in Golden State, Herro will continue to be the clear top option on offense for the Heat. He has been a top 40 option in nine-cat leagues this season, and that should continue. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovic (illness) available Friday vs. TOR
Fri, Feb 21, 2025, 1:20 PM
Ira Winderman
Nikola Jovic (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Added to the Heat injury report Friday afternoon with a stomach illness, Jovic has been cleared to play. The additions of Andrew Wiggins and Kyle Anderson have lowered his fantasy ceiling considerably, but Jovic is worth holding onto in deep leagues. Pelle Larsson, who may have played more minutes if Jovic had been ruled out, may not be in the rotation. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (shoulder) available vs. Toronto
Fri, Feb 21, 2025, 12:32 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tyler Herro (shoulder) is available to play against the Raptors on Friday.
Analysis: Herro will be good to go after initially being given the probable tag for Miami's first game after the All-Star break. The Starry Three-Point Content champion and first time All-Star will look to pick up where he left off before the break and continue to provide elite fantasy value. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovic (illness) questionable Friday vs. TOR
Fri, Feb 21, 2025, 4:33 AM
Nikola Jovic (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Jovic popped up on the injury report with an illness Friday morning, potentially putting him on the wrong side of questionable. The 21-year-old small forward has delivered solid fantasy production over the last month. If Jovic were to miss Friday's game, Pelle Larsson would see more minutes off the bench and be a streaming option in deep leagues. |

Kevin Love Kevin Love (personal) out Friday vs. Raptors
Thu, Feb 20, 2025, 9:52 AM
Kevin Love (personal) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Love fell out of the Heat's rotation over the last two months, making only three appearances in 2025 so far. While the 36-year-old power forward is ruled out Friday, he doesn't have much fantasy value regardless of his availability. |
|
Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (shoulder) probable Friday vs. Raptors
Thu, Feb 20, 2025, 9:52 AM
Tyler Herro (shoulder) is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Herro's shoulder injury is new, but given his probable status the 25-year-old point guard seems likely to play Friday against Toronto. Fantasy managers should prepare for Herro to be available and insert him into lineups as usual. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro wins Starry Three-Point Contest
Sat, Feb 15, 2025, 3:36 PM
Tyler Herro won Saturday's Starry Three-Point Contest, scoring 24 points in the final round.
Analysis: After hanging onto the final qualifying spot out of the first round, Herro scored 24 in the finals to beat Warriors guard Buddy Hield. The first-time All-Star is the fifth Heat player to win the three-point contest, joining Glen Rice, Jason Kapono, Daequan Cook, and James Jones. Herro's fantasy production this season has been excellent, as he entered the All-Star break as a fourth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. With Jimmy Butler no longer in the picture, the Heat need Herro's scoring even more, which is a positive for fantasy managers who have him rostered. |

Kyle Anderson Kyle Anderson double-doubles in first Miami start
Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 5:17 PM
Kyle Anderson compiled 15 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots across 27 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Mavericks.
Analysis: There was nothing slow to Slow Mo's game in this one, as he finished third in scoring while leading Miami in rebounds. Anderson had played a total of 10 minutes for the Heat prior to this one, but a number of injuries forced him into action. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect big games out of Anderson on a regular basis, but Thursday's performance was a nice reminder of how productive he can be when given the opportunity. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro drops 40 in loss to Dallas
Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 5:12 PM
Tyler Herro finished Thursday's loss to the Mavericks with 40 points (15-of-30 FG), eight rebounds, three assists, three steals and three triples across 37 minutes.
Analysis: Herro shot a pedestrian 3-of-14 from beyond the arc ??" he's shot over 40 percent on threes in a game just once since January 25 ??" but his monstrous volume and nine free-throw attempts led to his offensive eruption. Herro scored just 29 total points across his last two games combined, but he delivered his second 40-point game of the season and third of his career. He should have the green light to fire away for the rest of the season considering the dearth of scoring options left on Miami's roster. |

Kyle Anderson Anderson, Ware, Jaime, Mitchell, Herro starting
Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 2:09 PM
Miami Heat on Twitter
The Heat will start Kyle Anderson, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Davion Mitchell and Tyler Herro on Thursday against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Miami's starting five will get another makeover Thursday for the final game before the All-Star break. With so many key players sidelined, expect this starting five to play big minutes. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovic (knee) available Thursday
Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 1:37 PM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Jovic (knee) is available for Thursday's matchup with the Mavericks.
Analysis: As expected, Jovic will be good to go against Dallas. Over the last 15 games, he's averaged 31 minutes and should see a healthy amount of playing time once again. |
|
Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson (illness) available vs. Dallas
Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 1:25 PM
Miami Heat
Duncan Robinson (illness) is available to play against the Mavericks on Thursday.
Analysis: Robinson will be available to play after missing Wednesday's game against the Thunder. Davion Mitchell has started the last two games for Miami, but he could return to the bench with Robinson back. If Mitchell continues to start, Alec Burks will lose out on minutes with Robinson back. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (knee) ruled out vs. Dallas Thursday
Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 1:03 PM
Ira Winderman
Bam Adebayo (knee) has been ruled out against the Mavericks on Thursday.
Analysis: Adebayo was originally listed as questionable, but a left knee contusion will keep him sidelined. Kel'el Ware will likely slide over to the starting center spot, which will allow either Nikola Jovic or Haywood Highsmith to enter the starting lineup. Jovic is a much better option in fantasy basketball than Highsmith regardless of who starts. |
|
Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovic (knee) probable vs. Mavericks
Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 8:53 AM
Nikola Jovic (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's Heat-Mavericks game.
Analysis: Jovic is being bothered by a left knee contusion and will likely play through it. He has a chance to start in place of Bam Adebayo, who is battling his own knee injury and is listed as questionable. |
|
Terry Rozier Terry Rozier, Kevin Love out vs. Mavericks
Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 8:34 AM
Terry Rozier (illness) and Kevin Love (personal) have been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Rozier will miss a second straight game with an illness and Love is handling a personal issue. Davion Mitchell will likely be highly involved without Rozier available and Love's absence shouldn't affect fantasy basketball. |
|
Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins, Duncan Robinson out vs. Mavericks
Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 8:31 AM
Andrew Wiggins (illness) and Duncan Robinson (illness) have been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Wiggins and Robinson are under the weather because of a bug that's spreading among Heat players. Jaime Jaquez, Alec Burks, and Haywood Highsmith are wings who could get a boost in exposure against Dallas with the aforementioned wings out. |
|
Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (knee) questionable Thursday vs. DAL
Thu, Feb 13, 2025, 8:26 AM
Bam Adebayo (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Adebayo's status is up in the air because of a left knee contusion. Nikola Jovic could be moved back into the starting lineup if the star big man is ultimately ruled out. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell finishes defeat with 14 points
Wed, Feb 12, 2025, 5:54 PM
Davion Mitchell recorded a stat line of 14 points (6-of-10 FGs), one rebound, three assists, one steal, and two three-pointers in 34 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Mitchell made his second straight start for the Heat with Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson out due to illness. He shot the ball well, making 60 percent of his attempts, but the overall stat line was modest. Mitchell's offered limited defensive production and assists since arriving in Miami, so there hasn't been much to gain from streaming him. However, if Rozier remains out for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, âOff Nightâ will be worth a roll of the dice on a five-game night in the Association. |
