Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell scores 16 points with six assists
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 5:18 PM
Davion Mitchell provided a boost off the bench on Thursday with 16 points (6-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, six assists, one steal and four three-pointers against the Hawks.
Analysis: Mitchell got off to a hot start with the Heat but was eventually pushed to a bench role. However, he has started to thrive as a reserve. He has scored in double figures in six consecutive games and played at least 30 minutes in all of them, which is a large workload for a player coming off the bench. He also has dished out at least six dimes in each game during Miami's current three-game win streak. The former top ten pick has found new life with the Heat after never finding his footing in Sacramento or Toronto. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo posts 12/10/4/3 line vs. Atlanta
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 5:13 PM
Bam Adebayo recorded a double-double on Thursday with 12 points (4-of-9 FGs), 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals and one three-pointer against the Hawks.
Analysis: After lighting up Golden State for 27 points, Adebayo was quieter on the offense end against Atlanta, which has been the case for him for most of the season. However, he was able to record a double-double after going eight straight games without one, and he was able to contribute some dimes and swipes to make up for the lack of scoring. Miami is clicking at the right time, and they may be able to ride this momentum into some victories in the Play-In Tournament, especially if Bam continues to do a little bit of everything for them. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro drops 36 points in win over Hawks
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 4:38 PM
Tyler Herro led the Heat with 36 points (13-of-17 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and four three-pointers in a 122-112 win over the Hawks on Thursday.
Analysis: Since having a poor night against Houston last week, Herro has been on fire. He ended up having his highest-scoring performance since he scored 40 points in February, but he was far more efficient on Thursday night. He missed just four shots and made at least 70 percent of his shot attempts for a second consecutive game. Herro has had the best season of his career, and this was just another monster performance for him. He'll look to stay hot in Philadelphia to close out the week on Saturday. |

Alec Burks Alec Burks (back) available vs. Atlanta Thursday
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 11:47 AM
Ira Winderman
Alec Burks (back) is available to play against the Hawks on Thursday.
Analysis: Burks got the starting nod on Tuesday and will likely remain in that role once again with Duncan Robinson (back) still sidelined. Burks logged 24 minutes in that game and contributed 17 points with five three-pointers. He has some streaming appeal if he remains in the starting group. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson (back) out Thursday vs. Hawks
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 11:46 AM
Ira Winderman
Duncan Robinson (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Robinson also missed Tuesday's game against the Warriors with lower back pain. Alec Burks, who is available despite also dealing with a back issue, figures to start in Robinson's place as he did in the previous game. Burks is merely an option in deeper formats. |
|
Kevin Love Kevin Love (personal) out Thursday vs. Atlanta
Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 6:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kevin Love (personal) is out for Thursday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Absent from Miami's initial injury report, Love has been ruled out for personal reasons. Hopefully, this situation will not keep him away from the team for an extended period. Regarding fantasy basketball, Love's absence will have minimal impact since he has not been in the rotation recently. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks questionable vs. ATL
Wed, Mar 26, 2025, 9:46 AM
NBA Injury Report
Duncan Robinson (back) and Alec Burks (back) have been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Burks started for Robinson when he missed Miami's latest win over Golden State and has a good chance to do so again if the sharpshooter is ruled out in a second straight contest. Jaime Jaquez Jr. could benefit if both wings are ruled out. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo scores game-high 27 in win over Dubs
Tue, Mar 25, 2025, 4:13 PM
Bam Adebayo finished with 27 points, eight rebounds, an assist, a steal, a block and two three-pointers across 34 minutes as the Heat downed the Warriors 112-86 on Tuesday.
Analysis: Adebayo got off to a hot start in this one, scoring nearly half of his points in the first quarter as Miami got out to an early lead. Bam led all scorers in this one while shooting an efficient 9-of-18 from the floor and even chipping in a couple of buckets from beyond the arc. Next up is a tilt with Atlanta on Thursday, a team he's averaged 17/8/2/1 against in three matchups this season. |

Alec Burks MIA starting Herro, Burks, Wiggins, Ware, Adebayo
Tue, Mar 25, 2025, 1:05 PM
Miami Heat
Tyler Herro, Alec Burks, Andrew Wiggins, Kel'el Ware and Bam Adebayo will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: The Heat are without Duncan Robinson (back) for Tuesday's game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Burks will fill the void, but he is a risky deep-league streaming option on most nights. Managers in dire need of three-pointers can roll the dice, but it may be best to seek options from other teams. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovic (hand) cleared for on-court work
Tue, Mar 25, 2025, 11:50 AM
Ira Winderman
Nikola Jovic (hand) has been cleared to resume on-court activities.
Analysis: Jovic is progressing in his recovery from a fractured second metacarpal in his right hand, and the Heat announced on Tuesday that he's been cleared to resume on-court activities. However, he still lacks a timeline for a return to game action. As a result, fantasy managers should not count on him to provide value before their seasons conclude. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson (back) downgraded to out Tuesday
Tue, Mar 25, 2025, 11:48 AM
Ira Winderman
Duncan Robinson (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Robinson will not be available for Tuesday's game due to lower back pain. While his absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as he offers limited value outside of points and three-pointers, it will open up a spot in the Heat rotation. Haywood Highsmith, who logged 36 minutes on Sunday, should once again figure prominently in the lineup, while Jaime Jaquez Jr. should see his playing time increase out of necessity. Neither player has offered consistent fantasy value this season. |

Duncan Robinson Duncan Robinson (back) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Mar 24, 2025, 10:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Duncan Robinson (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Robinson is dealing with lower back pain, hence his inclusion on the Heat injury report. This season, he has primarily been a specialist, providing value for managers needing points and three-pointers. If Robinson cannot play on Tuesday, Haywood Highsmith will pick up additional minutes after logging 36 off the bench on Sunday. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro finishes victory with 29 points
Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 2:52 PM
Tyler Herro recorded 29 points (11-of-19 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, three steals and two three-pointers in 40 minutes in Sunday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Sandwiched around his poor nine-point effort in Friday's loss to the Rockets are two 29-point nights for Herro. Over the past two weeks, the Heat guard has been a top 75 player in eight-cat formats. A decrease in scoring has been the issue, with Herro's average over the past two weeks being nearly three points less than his mark for the season. He'll look to build on Sunday's performance when Jimmy Butler and the Warriors visit Miami on Tuesday. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins shines vs. Charlotte, scores 42
Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 2:51 PM
Andrew Wiggins shot 16-of-21 from the field and 4-of-7 from the foul line in Sunday's 122-105 win over the Hornets, finishing with 42 points, three rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and six three-pointers in 35 minutes.
Analysis: Wiggins had his best game since being traded to the Heat, taking advantage of an overmatched opponent on Sunday. He only missed five shots from the field, and the season-high 42 points were part of a complete stat line. And the timing for Wiggins' big night is excellent, as the Heat will host the Warriors on Tuesday. That is the first of three games Miami will play during Week 21, with no back-to-backs. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro available Sunday vs. CHA
Sun, Mar 23, 2025, 10:17 AM
Anthony Chiang
Bam Adebayo (knee) and Tyler Herro (hip) are available for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Adebayo and Herro are available after initially being questionable for Sunday's game. Look for the Heat stars to take on their usual responsibilities as the top two options on the offensive end of the floor. |
|
Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (hip) questionable Sunday vs. CHA
Sat, Mar 22, 2025, 12:45 PM
Miami Heat
Tyler Herro (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Herro is a late addition to the Heat injury report for Sunday's game, joining Bam Adebayo (knee) as questionable. He last missed a game on March 5, and Alec Burks replaced him in the starting lineup. While Burks may not be the most appealing streaming option, being allowed to start would give him a shot at achieving deep-league fantasy relevance. |
|
Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (knee) questionable Sunday vs. CHA
Sat, Mar 22, 2025, 10:25 AM
Miami Heat
Bam Adebayo (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: A sprained left knee is why Adebayo is on the Heat injury report, having suffered the injury during Friday's loss to the Rockets. If Bam cannot play against the Hornets, the Heat will rely even more on rookie Kel'el Ware, while Kevin Love will likely pick up additional minutes. Haywood Highsmith would also be in line for more playing time, but neither he nor Love offers much fantasy value. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins has 30 points, two threes in loss
Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 4:51 PM
Andrew Wiggins had 30 points (10-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers against the Rockets on Friday.
Analysis: Wiggins returned from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury and looked great. The 30-year-old had the highest single scoring quarter of his career with 20 points. Still, it wasn't enough to fend off defeat as the Heat dropped its 10th game in a row. Wiggins has taken on more of a scoring role since being traded to the Heat, where he's provided 12th-round fantasy value on a per game basis. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (ankle) available Friday vs. HOU
Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 12:17 PM
Danielle Lerner
Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: No surprise here as Wiggins was upgraded to probable Friday afternoon. The 30-year-old small forward is returning from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury. Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely return to the bench to make room for Wiggins in the starting lineup, though Haywood Highsmith is likely to give up more minutes. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (ankle) upgraded to probable
Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 6:43 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (ankle) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Friday's matchup with Houston.
Analysis: Wiggins is expected to return after a two-game absence, and he should handle his normal workload as a member of the starting five. Haywood Highsmith has seen a bump in playing time over the last two, with Kel'el Ware and Jaime Jaquez Jr. logging some extra minutes as well. Highsmith's playing time will be most negatively impacted by Wiggins' return. |
