Dru Smith

MIA Shooting Guard #12

Dru Smith provided a boost off the bench with eight points (3-of-6 FGs), four rebounds, one assist, two steals and two 3-pointers against Boston on Monday.

After a solid first half, Smith ended up starting the third quarter in place of Duncan Robinson. This was likely just a one-time change to give the team a much-needed jolt, and it helped them start the second half on a 7-0 run. However, it didn’t help them get a win. Smith was one of the bright spots, but he still didn’t have a great night in fantasy hoops. This was also his first time in the rotation in a couple weeks, though he played well in that game too. Even if he earned minutes with his performance in this game, he isn’t a player to add off the waiver wire.
Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Bam Adebayo struggled again on Monday and finished with 15 points (6-of-18 FGs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one 3-pointer against the Celtics.

Once again, Adebayo really struggled on the offensive end of the floor. He made a few shots in the fourth quarter to make his percentages a little better, but he still shot worse than 40% for the fourth straight game. However, he shot 4-of-8 after halftime, which is something to build on. He doesn’t have an easy matchup coming up, with Anthony Davis and the Lakers coming to town on Wednesday. Still, if they want to get back in the win column, they’ll need to get more out of Bam on offense.
Jaime Jaquez Jr.

MIA Small Forward #11

Jaime Jaquez Jr. got the start on Monday and contributed 19 points (5-of-14 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals in a 108-89 loss to Boston.

With Jimmy Butler sidelined, Jaquez got his first start of the season, and he took advantage of the opportunity. He set a new season-high for points and recorded his first double-double of the year, though he didn’t have a good night shooting the ball. The team shot 34.9% from the floor and 20.6% from beyond the arc, so Jaquez was just one of many that struggled to hit shots for Miami in this game. Butler’s absence isn’t expected to be a long-term thing, but if he remains out against the Lakers on Wednesday, or for one leg of their back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, Jaquez should get more starts.
Jaime Jaquez Jr.

MIA Small Forward #11

The Heat will start Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Haywood Highsmith and Bam Adebayo against Boston on Monday.

With Jimmy Butler sidelined with a knee injury, Jaquez will get his first start of the season. He hasn’t been impactful in fantasy hoops this season, but this is a great opportunity for him to have a solid night.
Kel'el Ware

MIA Center #7

Kel’el Ware (right foot tendinitis) has been downgraded to out for Monday’s game against the Celtics.

This will be a third straight absence for Ware, who hasn’t played a large role during his rookie season. With Kevin Love also sidelined, Thomas Bryant will likely fill out the backup center minutes in this game.
Jimmy Butler

MIA Small Forward #22

Jimmy Butler (right knee soreness) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Celtics.

Butler’s absence means Jaime Jaquez and Haywood Highsmith should see increased run against a depleted Celtics squad. Butler’s next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Lakers.
Jimmy Butler

MIA Small Forward #22

Jimmy Butler (right knee) finished with 17 points (6-of-9 FGs), five rebounds, three assists and one steal against Toronto on Sunday.

Though no official report was made, Butler appeared to tweak his knee late in the game and was held on the bench for the final 24 seconds of this game. Pelle Larsson replaced Butler on the defensive possession, though Terry Rozier took his place for the ensuing offensive possession. Rozier will likely start in his place on Monday, assuming Butler is forced to sit out the second night of the back-to-back. However, there will be extra minutes for Larsson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. as well.
Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Bam Adebayo posted a solid line on Sunday with 13 points (5-of-13 FGs), 20 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one triple and five turnovers against the Raptors.

Adebayo continues to stuff the stat sheet, but his shooting percentage has been an issue all year, especially over his last few games. This was his third straight game making less than 40% of his shot attempts, though he has contribute a lot of value in other categories. Ha grabbed a season-high 20 rebounds in this one after recording a triple-double in their last game and a rebound-assist double-double the game before that. His value in 9-cat leagues isn’t terrible, but it is a bit different from previous seasons, which may be frustrating for managers in category leagues.
Tyler Herro

MIA Point Guard #14

Tyler Herro led the Heat with 31 points (9-of-16 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and six 3-pointers in a 119-116 loss to Toronto on Sunday.

Herro did his best to keep the Heat around in this game, but he didn’t get much help on the offensive end. Still, he was able to pour in the buckets and triples. He had 18 points and four 3-pointers in the first half and extended his 20-point streak to three games. Herro is averaging career-highs in points, assists and 3-pointers while also shooting the best field goal percentage of his career, which has allowed him to contribute third round value this year. They’ll head to Boston to start a four-game week on Monday, which is the second night of a back-to-back for both teams.
Kel'el Ware

MIA Center #7

Kel’El Ware (right foot tendinitis) is out for Sunday’s game against the Raptors.

Added to the Heat injury report earlier in the afternoon, Ware has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s game. With Kevin Love available, the rookie’s absence will not significantly impact the Heat rotation or fantasy basketball.
