Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bam Adebayo had 19 points (8-of-20 FGs), 10 rebounds, five assists and three 3-pointers against the Mavericks on Sunday.

Bam scored just five points on eight shots in Jimmy Butler’s return game on Monday, but ended up taking 20 shots in the overtime game Sunday. His usage shouldn’t take a significant hit with Butler back in the lineup. Bam’s fantasy value will remain steady as he’s added range to his offensive game in recent years. He knocked down 3-of-6 attempts from behind the 3-point line Sunday. Miami has four games in Week 6, starting with the Bucks on Tuesday.
Tyler Herro

MIA Point Guard #14

Tyler Herro had 18 points (8-of-25 FGs), 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one 3-pointer against the Mavericks on Sunday.

Herro’s usage hasn’t been impacted by Jimmy Butler’s return, though that’s also because Terry Rozier has missed both games since Butler returned. Herro had a double-double with 11 rebounds, but only managed 18 points on 25 shots. He made only 1-of-10 attempts from behind the 3-point line. Herro was -1 in 42 minutes in the overtime win. Miami has four games in Week 6, starting with the Bucks on Tuesday.
Jimmy Butler

MIA Small Forward #22

Jimmy Butler had 33 points (11-of-17 FGs), nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks in the Heat’s 123-118 overtime victory over the Mavericks on Sunday.

Butler’s dunk with four second left in the fourth quarter tied the game and the Heat were able to force overtime. It was a vintage Jimmy Buckets performance. Butler had 33 points on 17 shots, didn’t attempt a 3-pointer and made 11-of-16 free throws. He’s now had two games with at least 30 points since returning after a four-game absence due to an ankle injury. Miami has four games in Week 6, starting on Tuesday with the Bucks.
Haywood Highsmith

MIA Power Forward #24

Haywood Highsmith (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

Highsmith fell ill during Sunday’s game. He played 19 minutes and went scoreless with five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two blocked shots. His absence resulted in more minutes for Pelle Larsson, who scored 14 points in the first three quarters. The second-round pick could be in for more rotation minutes if Highsmith misses time.
Terry Rozier

MIA Shooting Guard #2

Terry Rozier (right foot discomfort) has been downgraded to out for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

Rozier was initially listed as probable for this game, so his absence is a surprising one. Duncan Robinson started in his place in their last game, with Dru Smith playing a large role off the bench. Robinson may be in line for another start, but with Smith sidelined for this one, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Alec Burks and Josh Richardson may have to take on some playmaking responsibility.
Jimmy Butler

MIA Small Forward #22

Jimmy Butler (illness) will play against Dallas on Sunday, per NBA insider Chris Haynes.

Butler missed practice on Saturday, but reports indicate that he’ll play against Dallas, even though he is still questionable on the injury report. He likely won’t officially be cleared until closer to tipoff, but managers should expect him to suit up. That means that players like Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Alec Burks won’t be in line for extra minutes.
Terry Rozier

MIA Shooting Guard #2

Terry Rozier (right foot discomfort) is listed as probable for Sunday’s game against Dallas.

Duncan Robinson got the start in their last game, but he should return to a bench role with Rozier back. Jimmy Butler is questionable with an illness, so Rozier may have to take on a larger offensive load in this game.
Jaime Jaquez Jr.

MIA Small Forward #11

Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Mavericks.

Jaquez Jr. missed their last game on Monday, but after almost a full week to recover, he’ll be back in the lineup against Dallas. Jimmy Butler (illness) is questionable for this game, so Jaquez Jr. may take on a larger workload in this game.
Jimmy Butler

MIA Small Forward #22

Jimmy Butler (illness) and Dru Smith (right knee bone bruise) missed practice on Saturday.

Smith played 25 minutes off the bench in their last game, so if both Butler and Smith both can’t suit up, there will be plenty of minutes to go around. Depending on the status of Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr., Alec Burks and Josh Richardson could play large roles in this game.
Tyler Herro

MIA Point Guard #14

Tyler Herro logged 32 minutes in Monday’s win over Philadelphia, accounting for 18 points (6-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, and two 3-pointers.

Ranked just outside the top 25 in 9-cat formats for the season, Herro has been a top 20 player over the last two weeks. Jimmy Butler’s return on Monday was countered by Terry Rozier (foot) sitting, and Herro shouldn’t have much difficulty sustaining his production if Scary Terry misses more time. However, Rozier may return as soon as Miami’s next game, as the Heat don’t play again until Sunday.
