Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) is expected to miss Tuesday's Game 3 contest against the Denver Nuggets. Waiters has missed each of the last five games due to a left groin injury. He is currently listed as doubtful for this game, so it's unlikely that he suits up here. His absence won't mean a whole lot for the Lakers rotation. Alex Caruso and Rajon Rondo could see a few extra minutes coming their way.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's Game 3 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. He has played a total of eight minutes in this series, so losing Waiters won't hurt too much. Rajon Rondo looked fantastic last game and would probably take most of his minutes anyway. Rondo could be a sneaky DFS option for Tuesday's slate.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) only played for three minutes during Sunday's Game 2 matchup due to injury. He pulled his left groin and was unable to return to the contest. Sadly, groin injuries have a tendency to linger, so it's unclear if Waiters will be able to suit up for Game 3. Alex Caruso and Rajon Rondo would see more playing time if Waiters is unable to play. Rondo played very well on Sunday, so he could be worth a look as a DFS option with extended minutes.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (head) was unable to play in Saturday's victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. He was considered a game-time decision, but did not suit up at all. Waiters was reportedly dealing with a migraine, so it doesn't sound like something that will sideline him for too long. J.R. Smith saw a few extra minutes without Waiters in the rotation. His absence doesn't have much of a factor in the rotation.
Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters and forward James Johnson have been traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Solomon Hill, Jae Crowder, and Andre Iguodala. Memphis will also get guard Justise Winslow (back) in the deal, but he's only played 11 games this season. This is a fairly big trade in terms of players traded, but doesn't have much relevance in terms of fantasy production. Iguodala, Winslow, and Crowder could have some deep league value, but it depends on their roles in the rotation.
The Miami Heat have activated shooting guard Dion Waiters for Tuesdays contest versus the Toronto Raptors following a team-imposed suspension that has kept Waiters off the court thus far in 2019-20. While Waiters figured to see a significant role in the rotation coming into the year, where he currently lies in the pecking order remains to be seen, especially as rookies Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro have starred over the first month for Miami. Even if Waiters does check in, owners shouldn't expect fantasy relevant contributions immediately out of the gate.
Miami Heat guard/forward Dion Waiters is going to be available for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. Jimmy Butler (foot) and Justise Winslow (back) are both listed as questionable for this one. It's unclear if the Heat have any plans to work Waiters into their rotation, but it's hard to imagine him carrying much fantasy value. Waiters might have decent streaming appeal if both Butler and Winslow are out, but we'll see what happens.
Miami Heat shooting guard Dion Waiters went 6-for-12 from behind the three-point line during Fridays loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 22 points. The performance was strikingly one-dimensional, with Waiters failing to log a positive statistic aside from the made triples. He has knocked down multiple threes in nine consecutive outings, having averaged 19.3 points per game in that span. With Miami still fighting for a playoff spot over their final three contests, Waiters figures to continue seeing a prime offensive role.
Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He played 42 minutes on Wednesday, but had an MRI on his left knee afterwards. It came back negative, so Waiters is good to go for this one. He's been hot lately, so fantasy owners may want to use Waiters on Friday.
Dion Waiters Fires Up Career-High 16 Three-Point Tries
Miami Heat shooting guard Dion Waiters was not bashful during Saturdays win over the New York Knicks, logging a season-high 28 points on 11-for-23 shooting overall, including 6-for-16 from behind the three-point line, setting a new career high in attempts. Waiters has been percolating over the past four games, having averaged nearly 12 three-point attempts per contest. It appears that hell be the Heats go-to scorer over the final six games of the regular season and potentially into the playoffs, as he finds his groove in his return from an ankle ailment. Hell face a tough test Monday in the Boston Celtics, who are allowing the fewest opponent fantasy points per game this season.
