Goran Dragic Doesn't Practice on Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (foot) did not practice on Thursday. He's currently dealing with a foot/toe issue, but it's unclear how he suffered the injury. The Heat don't play until Saturday, so maybe Dragic will be fine by then. Tyler Johnson would likely draw the start if Dragic is forced out of action. Fantasy […]

Hassan Whiteside Doesn't Practice on Thursday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (head) did not practice on Thursday. Whiteside is dealing with a migraine, but the Heat are off until Saturday. Hopefully some rest is all that Whiteside needs. Kelly Olynyk and Bam Adebayo would see increased playing time and usage if Whiteside is forced to the sideline. Olynyk has more fantasy […]

Josh Richardson Cools Off Against Hornets

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson did not continue his hot shooting Tuesday night against the Charlotte Hornets.

Dragic was coming off back-to-back games of at least 20 points, […]

Miami Heat forward/center Kelly Olynyk was much improved Tuesday night against the Charlotte Hornets. Olynyk was coming off a three-point, 1-for-7 shooting game Monday and finished with 14 points on 4-for-6 shooting Tuesday.

Wayne Ellington, Derrick Jones Will Play Saturday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) and forward Derrick Jones (foot) are both available for Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Ellington will make his season debut, but Rodney McGruder has been playing well, so it'll be interesting to see how the minutes are distributed. Jones has been playing power forward this season, so […]

James Johnson Ruled Out on Saturday

Miami Heat forward James Johnson (groin) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Johnson has been practicing this week, but has not been cleared to play yet.
