Bam

Adebayo

Adebayo has taken major strides as a shooter this season, but that hasn’t been the case over Miami’s last two games. After being held to nine points in Saturday’s loss to the Kings, Adebayo failed to hit a three-pointer for the second straight game. The only other time he didn’t hit a triple this season was against Denver; he exited that game after playing just eight minutes. Adebayo is having an excellent year, but he’ll need to get back on track to help Miami snap this four-game losing streak.

Adebayo was one of three Heat players to score at least 20 points on Wednesday, and he’s met or exceeded that number in consecutive games for the first time since late October. Since returning from a toe injury that sidelined him for six games, the Heat center/forward has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. When Miami is whole, which they weren’t on Wednesday (Norman Powell was out), Bam’s ceiling as a scorer may be lower. However, he’s still capable of providing excellent value given his overall skill set.

Adebayo did a little bit of everything in this game. He matched his season high for rebounds and set a new career high for three-pointers in the blowout win over the Clippers. This was his highest scoring output since October, but he has been a consistent source of offense for Miami. Adebayo has been a big reason for Miami’s success this season, and he’ll look to keep that going in Dallas on Wednesday.

Adebayo has recorded double-doubles in two straight and three of his last four games. With Tyler Herro now in the mix, increased rebounding may be what keeps Bam’s fantasy value where managers hoped it would be before the season began. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-75 player in nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP (32), and it could be difficult for Adebayo to reach those heights. He’ll look to prove otherwise, starting with Monday’s game against the Clippers.

Adebayo scored at least 17 points for the fifth straight game on Wednesday. He needed only 29 minutes of game action to record double-digit rebounds, which led him to his sixth double-double of the season. The veteran center has produced solid numbers in his return from a toe injury and continues to be one of the Heat’s most relied-upon players. As long as he’s healthy, he’ll remain a productive fantasy basketball player who is a nightly double-double threat.

Adebayo finished Monday’s game as one of four Heat players to score in double figures — despite not shooting well from beyond the arc, he utilized the free-throw line to find his scoring production. The veteran forward’s shooting has been inconsistent since returning from injury on November 19th, but he has consistently hovered around 20 points on a nightly basis. His rebounding has also been uneven as Kel’el Ware has dominated the glass recently. Adebayo should start to round back into for the further removed he is from the toe injury

Adebayo has scored at least 18 points in all three games he’s played since returning from a toe injury, and he recorded his first post-injury double-double on Sunday. Over the past week, he’s been ranked just outside the top-25 in nine-cat formats. Adebayo’s season-long value has not aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (32), but he isn’t far away. The Heat play three games during Week 6, starting with the Mavericks on Monday.

Adebayo returned from a two-week absence with a toe injury against the Warriors on Wednesday and had 20 points in 29 minutes. The 28-year-old center had 18 points in 29 minutes in the Heat’s route of the Bulls on Friday. Adebayo is showing no ill effects in the two games since returning from his injury. The Heat will be back in action against the 76ers on Sunday.

Adebayo missed two weeks and six games with a toe injury before returning to the Heat’s lineup on Wednesday. The 28-year-old center played 29 minutes and had a great game with 20 points and a complete stat line. Adebayo’s return pushed Kal’el Ware to the bench, though he still played 19 minutes as well.

The Heat have only made one change to their starting lineup, but it’s a big one. Adebayo is back after a six-game absence, and his return pushes Kel’el Ware to the bench. Ware will still play plenty, but he has a slightly lower fantasy ceiling when used in a reserve role.
