Haywood

Highsmith

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wiggins did not play in Monday’s loss to the Knicks, while Burks has been sidelined since March 5. The former’s availability is far more impactful, as Wiggins is one of Miami’s best scorers. Haywood Highsmith or Jaime Jaquez Jr. will be headed to the bench if Wiggins returns on Wednesday, but Erik Spoelstra has made numerous changes to his lineup during the team’s eight-game losing streak. Burks should provide depth off the bench but is not a must-add player.

Highsmith replaced Kel’el Ware in the Heat starting lineup on Monday for matchup reasons, and he did not provide much value beyond the two steals. Meanwhile, Ware played 19 minutes off the bench and finished with 10 points, six rebounds, one steal and one blocked shot. Managers who have Ware rostered should hold onto the rookie, even if Highsmith continues to start. As for Highsmith, there’s no need to add him after his performance on Monday.

The Heat are without Andrew Wiggins (leg) for Monday’s game, and his absence has prompted two changes to the starting lineup. Jaquez will fill the void left by Wiggins, while Highsmith replaces Kel’el Ware. Jaquez is worth streaming in deep leagues out of necessity, while managers who have Ware rostered should hold onto him.

Highsmith will once again be available to play. He will continue to occupy his typical significant role off the bench, though he hasn’t contributed much in the box score. However, he has been efficient recently, which has helped him provide top-125 value in nine-cat leagues over the last two weeks.

Haywood hasn’t done much since being moved to the bench and his absence could give Kyle Anderson a chance to log a few extra minutes. Neither player will impact fantasy basketball significantly, though.

With Alec Burks unavailable, Larsson made his first start since January 23 and second of the season on Friday. Unfortunately, the rookie wing did not provide much value, ultimately ceding playing time to reserves Duncan Robinson (15/4/1/2 with four three-pointers) and Haywood Highsmith (9/5/4/1 with one three-pointer). While worthy of a look in deep leagues due to the spot start, Larsson didn’t do enough to merit being added ahead of Saturday’s game against the Bulls.
