4 weeks agoMiami Heat forward/center
Bam Adebayo (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The star big man has suffered a right calf contusion and could be out of the lineup for just the third time in 2024-25. Miami has figured out how to utilize Adebayo and
Kel'el Ware (ankle) together, but Ware's fantasy value is likely to rise further if Adebayo is unable to play on Wednesday. The Heat have listed Ware as probable for the game.
Kevin Love (personal) is also expected to take on a greater role. He has rejoined the team after addressing a personal matter.

1 month agoEddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports that Miami Heat forward/center
Bam Adebayo (knee) won't play against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. Adebayo appeared on the injury report earlier due to a left knee bruise, but he's since been downgraded to unavailable. Thursday's contest will be the first the 27-year-old has missed in a month. With the big man out,
Nikola Jovic,
Kyle Anderson, and
Haywood Highsmith would be set up for more work, while
Kel'el Ware would have more space to dominate against a banged-up Dallas frontcourt.

2 months agoMiami Heat center
Bam Adebayo (back) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Adebayo took a hard fall during Saturday's contest and as a result he sat out of Monday's game. Luckily, Adebayo is back in the mix after missing only one game due to a lower back contusion. His return to the court means less playing time for both
Kevin Love and
Kel'el Ware. Neither player is an ideal streaming option with Adebayo likely getting his full workload on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should feel safe getting Adebayo back in their lineups here.

2 months agoMiami Heat center
Bam Adebayo (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers. The 27-year-old missed his first game of the season on Monday versus the Clippers. As a result,
Kevin Love got the start. However, it was
Kel'el Ware (probable) who took advantage, with the rookie finishing the night with 19 points, 13 rebounds, one steal, and one block while draining all three attempts from downtown. If Adebayo misses another game, Ware will see plenty of attention from DFS managers, assuming he's cleared to suit up. But if Ware is also ruled out, the Heat may go small, meaning Love and
Nikola Jovic may split time at the five.
