Gabe Vincent Will Miss Another Game

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) won't play on Tuesday versus the visiting Bulls, marking his eighth consecutive absence.

Caleb Martin Questionable Against The Bulls

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the Bulls.

Kyle Lowry In Danger Of Missing Tuesday's Game

The 36-year-old has missed the team's last two games, resulting in Tyler Herro sliding over to the one spot to combine for 62 points during his absence. That said, if Lowry remains out, Herro is a lock for every fantasy […]

Jimmy Butler Expected To Play Versus Chicago

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected to play on Tuesday against Chicago. The veteran will probably continue to make routine appearances on the injury report moving ahead because of his nagging knee issue, so fantasy managers should take things on a game-by-game basis.

After a hard-fought victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday, Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo won't suit up against the Houston Rockets on Thursday evening.

Jimmy Butler Probable For Thursday's Action

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is on track to return to action Thursday versus Houston, with him listed as probable for the contest. He missed Wednesday's matchup against the Thunder with right knee injury management but should be good to go against the Rockets. Butler could carry a massive workload in the contest, with […]

Kyle Lowry Out On Thursday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (rest) won't be in the lineup Thursday versus the Rockets. The veteran floor general is getting rested as the team finishes off a back-to-back set.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (ankle) could sit out Thursday's matchup against Houston, with the team regarding him as questionable for the game.

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/15/22): NBA DFS Lineups

We have four games for our Thursday slate this week, which is kind of nice. When you look at the injuries and the Heat and Clippers on a back-to-back, it becomes somewhat less enticing. Kawhi will probably sit or at least be limited. I'm going to write this with the assumption that he is out. […]

Jimmy Butler Sitting Against OKC

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus OKC. With Miami playing its first of consecutive outings, the veteran will sit this one out before presumably suiting up on Thursday in Houston. As a result, Caleb Martin may slide over to cover the four spot, while Max Strus (shoulder), who is probable, could […]

Jimmy Butler Out With Knee Injury Wednesday

Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) will rest Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

We're set for a solid seven-game slate Monday night, one that many might consider an ideal size for the purposes of building tournament lineups in particular.

Early-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 9

I thought last week's schedule was solid, but this week, we have probably the most balanced schedule that we have seen this year with no more than 10 games (10 on Wednesday) on any day this week and a really strong middle of the week with five games on Tuesday and four on Thursday. That […]

Victor Oladipo Available Against San Antonio

Miami Heat guard Victor Oladipo (knee) will play on Saturday against San Antonio. The veteran made his 2022-23 debut just a few games ago after missing the start of the season with a knee injury.

Max Strus Listed As Probable For Saturday's Game

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) is probable for Saturday's meeting with the Spurs. The 26-year-old has been dealing with a right shoulder injury recently. However, he's battled through it. Strus has played well this season, averaging a career-high 14.3 points and 3.5 rebounds. While his three-point percentage has taken a turn in the wrong […]
