Duncan Robinson Out Of Action Against Warriors

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (back) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Robinson will miss the game due to lower back pain. The 30-year-old had started five of the six games ahead of Tuesday. While Robinson is on the shelf, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Davion Mitchell, and Alec Burks are the candidates who could see expanded roles this evening. Among the three players, Mitchell has delivered the most consistent fantasy output.

Duncan Robinson Uncertain To Play Tuesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (back) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report for Tuesday's matchup against the Golden State Warriors. He may be forced to exit the lineup due to lower back pain. Robinson has started in five of the past six games, and the Heat will certainly feel his absence if the three-point specialist needs to take time off. Jaime Jaquez Jr., Davion Mitchell, and Alec Burks are the candidates to step in for Robinson in the starting unit. Among the three players, Mitchell has delivered the most consistent fantasy output.

Andrew Wiggins Available On Friday

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) has been cleared to play ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Wiggins has been cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. Wiggins is back in action after missing the last two games due to an ankle issue. He should move back into the starting five and have his regular role in the rotation. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Haywood Highsmith will likely see reduced roles with Wiggins back in the mix.

Andrew Wiggins Listed As Probable On Friday

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) appeared on the injury report for Friday's matchup with the Houston Rockets but is considered probable despite the ankle impingement. Wiggins' tenure in Miami has been bumpy so far as he's appeared in 10 of a possible 19 games and has averaged 18.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks per contest with shooting splits of .422/.309/.755. His value is undeniable when he is on the court though, especially for fantasy managers in the playoffs of category leagues. With his return, Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely take the biggest fantasy hit as he moves back to the bench.

Alec Burks Returns To Heat Lineup

Miami Heat guard/forward Alec Burks (back) will return to work on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. He has been cleared to return from a seven-game absence. Before injuring his back, Burks had started in three consecutive games. On Wednesday, he will come off the bench, which will limit Burks' fantasy value. As a reserve, Burks has contributed only 5.9 points per game in 16.7 minutes this season. Tyler Herro, Duncan, Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Bam Adebayo, and Kel'el Ware will start Wednesday's contest for the Heat.

Kel'el Ware Starting On Wednesday

Miami Heat center Kel'el Ware will start in Wednesday's meeting with the Pistons. With Jalen Duren coming to town and Andrew Wiggins (leg) ruled out, head coach Erik Spoelstra will roll with Ware underneath the basket, with Bam Adebayo moving over to the four spot. The rookie has averaged 10.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 22 starts this season, giving him a higher ceiling for fantasy managers. With Ware in the starting lineup, Haywood Highsmith, who had two points versus the Knicks on Monday, will head back to the bench.

Andrew Wiggins Out Wednesday Versus Pistons

According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (lower leg) will be out of action for Wednesday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. He has been dealing with a lower left leg contusion, and it will be the second game in a row he's missed. Jaime Jaquez Jr. could see a busy night with the veteran Wiggins sidelined after he finished with six points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes in a 116-95 loss to the Knicks on Monday.

Andrew Wiggins May Miss Another Game Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Detroit Pistons. He has been left nursing a lower left leg contusion and may sit out a second consecutive game. Jaime Jaquez Jr. has a chance to remain in the starting lineup if Wiggins doesn't return on Wednesday. He has averaged 12.4 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.9 steals in a starting role this season. Haywood Highsmith also plays a more important role with Wiggins out, but he rarely contributes significantly in fantasy terms.

Andrew Wiggins Inactive On Monday

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (lower leg) will miss Monday's game against the New York Knicks. This isn't surprising, as Wiggins was listed as questionable on the initial injury report and didn't participate in Monday's shootaround. With Wiggins absent, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra is forced to switch things up in the first unit again. Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Haywood Highsmith, and Bam Adebayo have been announced as the starters for the contest.

Andrew Wiggins Iffy For Monday's Game

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (lower leg) is considered questionable for Monday's showdown against the New York Knicks. Following a strong stretch of performances, Wiggins settled for eight points in 22 minutes during Saturday's blowout loss to the Memphis Grizzlies and may now be forced to sit out some action due to a left lower leg contusion. Wiggins' exit from the lineup could give Jaime Jaquez Jr. a fresh opportunity to start. In previous outings as a starter this season, Jaquez Jr. has averaged 12.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.9 steals. There is a possibility that Pelle Larsson might also be more involved in the action.

Terry Rozier Cleared To Play Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (illness) will be active on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has shaken off an illness, with the team upgrading Rozier from probable to available. The veteran guard has a tendency to blow hot and cold, and he finished Monday's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets with only four points on 20 percent shooting. Rozier has produced 7.4 points per game since the All-Star break, making him an unattractive fantasy target.

Alec Burks Sits Out Fourth Consecutive Game

Miami Heat guard/forward Alec Burks (back) will not be available for Wednesday's showdown against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran is dealing with a back strain and has been ruled out for the contest after the team initially listed him as questionable. Before exiting the lineup, Burks played over 20 minutes in four straight appearances. However, this occurred during a period when the Heat were missing several key players, and Burks generally lacks significant fantasy value under normal circumstances.

Alec Burks Out Versus Hornets

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat guard Alec Burks will be sidelined for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The 33-year-old will miss his third straight game due to back soreness. Through 36 games this season, Burks has posted averages of 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 17.7 minutes per contest. Davion Mitchell, Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson will continue to see expanded roles this evening with Burks out of action.

Andrew Wiggins Listed As Probable On Monday

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) returned from a five-game absence on Saturday, and is considered probable to play again on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. The 30-year-old posted 22 points, three rebounds, one assist, and one block across 28 minutes in the five-point loss to the Chicago Bulls. Despite the fact that Wiggins is still trying to find his footing in terms of efficiency with his new team, he's contributed two "stocks" per game along with 18 points, five rebounds, and three assists.

Tyler Herro • SG • Heat

Tyler Herro Tagged As Probable On Monday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (illness) is likely to play on Monday after being listed as probable against the Charlotte Hornets. He's suffering from a head cold, so the team will likely just make sure he feels okay enough to play leading up to tip-off. The first-time All-Star has struggled a bit with his efficiency through February (41.1%) and March (41.9%), but he's been able to contribute a wide array of traditional stats in category leagues. He's dropping 20.3 points, 6.5 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 2.8 threes per game through March.

Andrew Wiggins Returns On Saturday

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is back in action ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Wiggins will make his return to the court after missing the last five games due to a sprained ankle. There is no word on Wiggins being limited, so he figures to play his normal role in the starting five. He's averaging 17.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.3 assists across 35 minutes per game with the Heat. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Wiggins active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Tyler Herro Back On Friday Night

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (illness) will play on Friday versus Minnesota. He missed Wednesday's loss to the Cavs due to a head cold and was questionable heading into this game. But the Heat will welcome him back with open arms, especially with Andrew Wiggins (ankle), Kel'el Ware (knee), and Alec Burks (back) ruled out. Of course, Herro is a must-start, and he may see more scoring opportunities with Miami dealing with injuries across the board.

Alec Burks Out Versus Timberwolves

Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports that Miami Heat guard/forward Alec Burks (back) is unavailable for Friday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Burk will be out of action due to soreness in his back. The 33-year-old finished with five points, five rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes of work in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Davion Mitchell and Duncan Robinson will likely see a boost in minutes on the floor and fantasy value with Burks sidelined this evening.

Andrew Wiggins Unavailable Against Minnesota

Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports that Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is unavailable for Friday's matchup against one of his former teams, the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 30-year-old will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a right ankle sprain. While Wiggins has been out of action, Haywood Highsmith has returned to the rotation, and Kyle Anderson has also seen an expanded role with his new club. Highsmith has averaged 10.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists over the past five games.

Alec Burks Questionable For Friday Due To Back Issue

Miami Heat guard/forward Alec Burks (back) has been listed as questionable for Friday's meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The veteran is on the injury report with lower back pain. Burks' fantasy stock has significantly grown lately, as he has logged three consecutive starts. However, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra may have to rethink his plans again on Friday if he can't use Burks. The good news is that Tyler Herro (illness) and Andrew Wiggins (ankle) have not yet been ruled out for Friday, and Miami would be much stronger if they can return.
