Kel'el Ware

MIA Center #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kel’El Ware (right foot soreness) is probable for Wednesday’s game against the Lakers.

Ware lands on the injury report after having one of the best games of his rookie season in Monday’s loss to the Clippers. The good news is that he’s probable, so fantasy managers should expect Ware to play. How valuable he is depends on the availability of Bam Adebayo (back). If Bam remains out, Ware will be worth streaming.
Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Bam Adebayo (lower back contusion) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Lakers.

Adebayo was held out of Monday’s loss to the Clippers, with Kevin Love replacing him in the starting lineup. However, Love only played 15 minutes, with Kel’El Ware logging 33 off the bench and playing one of the best games of his rookie season. If Adebayo remains out, fantasy managers should stream Ware.
Jimmy Butler

MIA Small Forward #22

Jimmy Butler is prepared to play for the Heat if he isn’t moved by the time his suspension is lifted.

Butler has one more game left on his suspension, which means that he could return to the lineup for Friday’s matchup with Denver. It’s unclear if that will actually end up happening, but his return would take minutes away from Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jovic, who have both been playing well recently.
Kel'el Ware

MIA Center #7

Kel’el Ware had 19 points (7-of-11 FGs), 13 rebounds, one steal, one block and three 3-pointers against the Clippers on Monday.

Ware came off the bench with Kevin Love starting for the injured Bam Adebayo Monday. Ware still played 32 minutes compared to just 15 minutes for Love. The 20-year-old center was effective with 19 points on 11 shots. Ware had 13 rebounds, a block, a steal and even made three 3-pointers. He’s had games like this before only to fall out of the rotation when the team is fully healthy. Ware is a must-stream option when the situation calls for it and otherwise worth keeping an eye on.
Tyler Herro

MIA Point Guard #14

Tyler Herro had 32 points (9-of-20 FGs), 11 rebounds, seven assists and four 3-pointers against the Clippers on Monday.

Without Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in the lineup, it was no surprise that the Heat leaned on Herro for offense Monday. He had 32 points on 20 shots, though he struggled from the 3-point line going 4-of-13. The 24-year-old continues to benefit from Butler’s continued absence from the lineup as he’s provided third round fantasy value over the last week.
Kevin Love

MIA Power Forward #42

The Heat will start Terry Rozier, Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Haywood Highsmith and Kevin Love against the Clippers on Monday.

Love last saw the floor on December 29th in Houston, which was a game that he started and logged 14 minutes. Starting hasn’t guaranteed Love starting level minutes, so managers should expect Kel’el Ware to still play a significant role.
Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Bam Adebayo (lower back contusion) is out for Monday’s game against the Clippers.

Adebayo fell hard on his back in Saturday’s game against the Trail Blazers. Despite a report that Bam would warm up with the intent to play Monday, he’s been ruled out against the Clippers. Rookie big man Kel’el Ware could end up starting with Adebayo out Monday.
Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Bam Adebayo is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Clippers due to a lower back contusion.

Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports that Adebayo will “warm up with the intent to play,” so fantasy managers should expect him to get the green light here. If he’s sidelined, however, rookie big man Kel’el Ware could replace him in the starting five.
Josh Richardson

MIA Shooting Guard #0

Josh Richardson (right heel inflammation) is doubtful for Monday’s game against the Clippers.

Richardson has been dealing with the heel injury since mid-November and appears unlikely to play on Monday. His status does not impact fantasy basketball.
Bam Adebayo

MIA Center #13

Bam Adebayo finished Saturday’s win over Portland with 13 points (6-of-13 FGs), 11 rebounds, six assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.

Adebayo, a double-digit scorer in eight of his last nine outings, recorded his 20th double-double of the season on Saturday. While this hasn’t necessarily been a bad season for the Heat center, Bam’s production has felt a bit underwhelming thus far. He’s providing 5th-round value in 9-cat formats, two rounds lower than his Yahoo ADP. Adebayo will look to continue his move up the rankings on Monday when Miami visits the Clippers.
