  • Heat's Bam Adebayo: Logs five steals

    Adebayo produced 12 points (5-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists, one block and five steals over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to the Suns.

    Adebayo struggled offensively, making fewer than 25 percent of his attempts from the field en route to his fifth game with 12 or fewer points this season. He made up for the offensive inefficiencies on the defensive end, compiling his fifth career five-steal game. Through seven games, Adebayo is averaging 14.9 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.4 blocks across 32.4 minutes.

  • Heat's Tyler Herro: Catches fire against Suns

    Herro contributed 28 points (9-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and six assists in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to Phoenix.

    On a night when the other four Heat starters shot 14-for-46 (30.4 percent) from the field, Herro needed to step up offensively. He did just that, collecting a team-high 28 points while tying for the team lead in assists. Herro's off to a strong start in 2024-25, averaging 22.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists across 31.2 minutes on 50/46/82 shooting splits.

  • Heat's Haywood Highsmith: Sees increased playing time

    Highsmith contributed 19 points (7-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to the Suns.

    Highsmith played two and eight minutes in his last two appearances, respectively, but emerged as a key contributor in Wednesday's loss. He replaced Nikola Jovic in the Heat starting lineup coming out of halftime and set a season high in points. Jovic finished the game with just five minutes played, but it doesn't appear he sustained an injury during the contest. If that's the case, Wednesday's contest could be the start of Highsmith's push for a more secure role. The 27-year-old has appeared in five of seven games for Miami after averaging 20.7 minutes per game in the regular season during 2023-24.

  • Heat's Terry Rozier: Endures off-night as shooter

    Rozier amassed seven points (2-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to the Suns.

    Rozier couldn't get the lid off the basket, but he was able to contribute in other facets. He tied for the second-most rebounds on the team and was one of three Heat players to accrue at least five assists. Additionally, Rozier finished with a team-high plus-11 plus-minus. Through seven games, Rozier is averaging 14.7 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists across 32.1 minutes.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Plays five minutes

    Jovic recorded four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in five minutes during Wednesday's 115-112 loss to the Suns.

    Jovic was part of the starting unit Wednesday, a status he's held in all seven appearances this season. However, he logged a season low in minutes and didn't retake the floor after being subbed out with 6:44 left in the first quarter. While it isn't abnormal for Jovic to handle fewer minutes than a typical starter -- he averaged just 21.5 minutes per game before the loss to Phoenix -- Wednesday's game marked a new low for the third-year forward. His unstable role makes him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats, and his minutes should be watched closely by fantasy managers moving forward.

  • Heat's Thomas Bryant: Season-low two points in loss

    Bryant chipped in two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and five rebounds across 12 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to the Kings.

    Bryant scored a season-low two points while tying his lowest mark in playing time Monday. The 27-year-old has served as the primary backup to Bam Adebayo with Kevin Love (conditioning) working his way back to game action. However, Bryant should not be considered a viable fantasy option as he will likely have to compete for minutes with Love and Haywood Highsmith in the frontcourt.

  • Heat's Tyler Herro: Strong production in narrow loss

    Herro amassed 27 points (9-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to the Kings.

    This was Herro's second-highest point total of the season and the third time he's surpassed 20 points through six games. Despite the inconsistent production, Herro is averaging 21.8 points per game, which would be a career-high mark.

  • Heat's Nikola Jovic: Season-low 12 minutes

    Jovic amassed four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound in 12 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to Sacramento.

    Jovic continues to start but was limited to a season-low 12 minutes during Monday's one-point loss. After scoring in double figures in three of his first four appearances this season, Jovic has totaled seven points over his last two outings.

  • Heat's Kevin Love: Won't return Wednesday

    Love (conditioning) will not play Wednesday against the Suns.

    Love has yet to appear in a game this season and recently returned from a personal absence. It remains to be seen if he'll be available Friday versus Denver.

  • Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Won't play Wednesday

    Jaquez (illness) will not play Wednesday against the Suns.

    Jaquez is dealing with a stomach illness and will miss his second straight contest. His next chance to play will be Friday against the Nuggets. Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks, Josh Richardson and Pelle Larsson are candidates to see increased run in the meantime.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Scores season-high 27 points

    Butler had 27 points (9-19 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 8-11 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to Sacramento.

    Butler has endured a rough start to the season from a scoring perspective, but he bounced back admirably Monday and delivered a solid stat line. The veteran forward seems to be shaking off some of the early-season rust and has now scored over 20 points in three of his last five appearances.

  • Heat's Pelle Larsson: Best game of season thus far

    Larsson posted 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to the Kings.

    With Kevin Love (conditioning) and Jaime Jaquez (illness) sidelined, Larsson made the most of his opportunity and posted a career-best scoring mark, and this was also the first time he logged more than 20 minutes off the bench. Larsson won't assume a starting role anytime soon, but he might be productive in deeper formats if he hovers around the 20-minute mark consistently.

  • Heat's Bam Adebayo: Fills stat sheet Monday

    Adebayo logged 16 points (7-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, four blocks and three steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 111-110 loss to Sacramento.

    The Heat came up short Monday in a thrilling contest, but Adebayo made his presence felt on both ends of the court with a dominant effort -- he recorded at least three tallies in each of the five major categories while shooting at an efficient clip from the floor. Adebayo has endured a relatively slow start as a scoring weapon, as he's surpassed the 15-point mark in just two of his six contests, but the star big man will continue to deliver value in other areas. Given his history, the 27-year-old should eventually figure things out on the offensive end.

  • Heat's Kevin Love: Late scratch

    Love has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings due to return to competition conditioning.

    Love was initially left off the injury report, suggesting he was clear to make his season debut, but it appears the veteran will need a few days to regain his conditioning after being away from the team for an extended period. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Phoenix.

  • Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Downgraded to out

    Jaquez (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Jaquez was a late addition to the injury report due to a stomach illness and will ultimately miss his first game of the season. He's averaged 25.2 minutes per game off the bench over his first five appearances. In Jaquez's absence, Kevin Love, who's cleared to make his season debut after missing time due to personal reasons, could enter the rotation, or Jaquez's missing minutes could be dished out to a few players, including Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks, Josh Richardson and rookie Pelle Larsson.

  • Heat's Jaime Jaquez: Questionable for Monday

    Jaquez is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings with a stomach illness.

    Jaquez was a very late addition to Miami's injury report which isn't a good sign. If he's unable to give it a go Monday, the Heat could turn to Duncan Robinson, Alec Burks and Josh Richardson to pick up the slack.

  • Heat's Duncan Robinson: Available to play

    Robinson (personal) is available for Monday's game against the Kings.

    Robinson missed Miami's game Saturday versus the Wizards due to personal reasons, but he's expected to be back in the rotation Monday night. Through four appearances, he's averaging 5.3 points and 1.0 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game.
