Tyler Herro Earns Questionable Tag For Friday’s Contest

Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro (back) has been bumped down to questionable for Friday's game against the Suns as he battles back spasms. Herro has not missed action since Nov. 21, which makes the Heat backcourt rotation in a potential absence unclear; with that said, Victor Oladipo and Gabe Vincent would stand to see […]

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (quad) will "try to play" Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Martin is listed as questionable but was more of a true game-time decision.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 12: Immanuel Quickley, Rui Hachimura, Alec Burks

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (rest) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 30-year-old sat out on Friday for rest purposes, but is expected to return to the rotation on Saturday. The return of Oladipo will mean less playing time for Max Strus and Haywood Highsmith. Between the two, Strus […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/31/22): NBA DFS Lineups

It's New Year's Eve, and I can't think of a better day to make some money with daily fantasy basketball contests. The matchups are reasonably evenly spread in terms of their fantasy appeal tonight. Still, there is a clear tier break in the implied totals after the Nets-Hornets, Pelicans-Grizzlies, Mavericks-Spurs, and Pistons-Timberwolves matchups. The Nets, […]

Caleb Martin, Victor Oladipo Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Miami Heat small forward Caleb Martin (quad) and point/shooting guard Victor Oladipo (rest) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Gabe Vincent Active Wednesday

The Miami Heat have listed Jimmy Butler (ankle), Bam Adebayo (shoulder) and Gabe Vincent (knee) as active Wednesday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Butler and Adebayo will resume their normal roles as […]

Kyle Lowry A Late Scratch Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been ruled out against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. Lowry was a late addition to the injury report as something personal has come up causing him to be ruled out just over an hour before tip off.

Gabe Vincent Questionable On Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is considered questionable for Wednesday's home game against the Lakers.

Nikola Jovic To Start On Monday

Miami Heat center Nikola Jovic will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Heat are extremely thin at the center spot with both Bam Adebayo and Dewayne Dedmon sidelined due to injury. The rookie center has ranked outside the top-300 in 9-cat formats this season. Orlando Robinson should also […]

Bam Adebayo Ruled Out For Monday
