Andre Iguodala Returns Saturday; Avery Bradley Still Out

Miami Heat small forward Andre Iguodala (neck) has been bumped up to available to play in Saturday's game versus the Kings, but shooting guard Avery Bradley (knee) has been ruled out.

Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro Receive Green Light To Play Saturday

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler and point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (neck) have been given the thumbs up to take the floor for Saturday's game against Sacramento. Butler's return marks his first outing since Jan. 9, having been sidelined for the Heat's last 10 outings as he worked through the league's COVID-19 protocols. Despite it […]

There is a solid eight-game slate on the DraftKings main slate tonight, featuring five games with implied totals over 221 points and a classic LAL/BOS rivalry matchup.

Jimmy Butler Earns Questionable Tag For Saturday

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler has been bumped up to questionable for Saturday's game against Sacramento as he continues to work his way back into game shape after working through the league's health and safety protocols.

Tyler Herro Paces Team With 19 Points

Miami Heat point guard Tyler Herro compiled 19 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, and one steal in 32 minutes during Thursday's loss to the Clippers. Herro returned to the lineup on Thursday after dealing with a neck injury and he played his first contest since January 14. The 21-year-old was sensational, pacing the team in […]

Avery Bradley And Andre Iguodala Ruled Out Thursday

News keeps getting worse for the Miami Heat as guard Avery Bradley (knee) and forward Andre Iguodala (neck) were ruled out Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Heat are already without Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and Goran Dragic (groin) so they will be heavily depleted on the wing. The good news is […]

Tyler Herro Expected To Play Thursday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) will play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Herro has been dealing with neck spasms and will return to the court after a 7-game absence. Herro's return could not come soon enough as the Heat are still missing Jimmy Butler (health and safety protocols) and have lost four straight […]

Duncan Robinson Available Thursday Against Clippers

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (quad) will be available Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Robinson played 36 minutes Wednesday, but popped up on the injury report as questionable with a quad injury. Despite the injury, Robinson should see his normal allocation of minutes against the Clippers who are without Paul George (health and safety […]

Goran Dragic Ruled Out Again Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) will not play Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Dragic missed Wednesday's contest with a groin injury and will remain sidelined in the second leg of a back-to-back. With Dragic (and a ton of other players) out, Kendrick Nunn will likely start and has been a solid scorer in […]

Jimmy Butler Unlikely To Play Versus Clippers

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler doesn't sound like he'll be suiting up for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has been sidelined since early January while following the NBA's health and safety protocols. Butler is expected to be eased back into the rotation whenever he's cleared to play. Until then, Kendrick Nunn is […]

Goran Dragic Questionable For Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (groin) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was held out of Wednesday's loss due to a groin strain. It wouldn't be surprising to see the Heat rest the veteran guard again here. His absence would mean a boost for Kendrick Nunn. He is […]

Tyler Herro Might Return Versus Clippers

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (neck) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has missed each of the last nine games with neck spasms, but might be able to return here. The Heat roster is banged up right now, so they could use Herro for this one. Otherwise, Avery […]

Meyers Leonard Won't Suit Up On Thursday

Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He suffered a left shoulder strain early in the month and hasn't played since then. Leonard wasn't offering much in terms of fantasy value when he was on the court anyway. Precious Achiuwa will continue gaining fantasy […]

Duncan Robinson Could Sit On Thursday

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (quad) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He is dealing with a left quad contusion, but was able to play 36 minutes on Wednesday. Possibly, the team might be cautious and rest him in the second game of the back-to-back set. However, it sounds […]

Additionally, the absence of the […]

Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler All Out Wednesday

The Miami Heat will be severely short-handed with point guard Goran Dragic (groin), guard Tyler Herro (neck) and guard/forward Jimmy Butler out Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. Herro and Butler have missed several games with their ailments, but Dragic's injury is new, and the team might be resting him during the first game of a back-to-back. […]

Tyler Herro, Goran Dragic Questionable To Suit Up Wednesday

Miami Heat point guards Tyler Herro (neck) and Goran Dragic (groin) are listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the Nuggets, while shooting guard Avery Bradley has drawn a questionable tag as well as he works his way through the league's health and safety protocols.
