Avery Bradley Won't Suit Up Against Celtics

Miami Heat guard Avery Bradley (rest) will not suit up for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. The veteran guard is sidelined due to health and safety protocols. Although, Bradley did play 19 minutes during Saturday's game. It's unclear how long Bradley is going to be sidelined. However, he wasn't much of a fantasy option […]

Goran Dragic Questionable Against Celtics

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics This is the second game of a back-to-back set, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Dragic sitting out. He dropped 21 points in 20 minutes on Saturday, so his absence would be significant. Kendrick Nunn stands to […]

Meyers Leonard Could Be Sidelined On Sunday

Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. He suffered a left shoulder strain during Saturday's game, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Leonard sit out here. Kelly Olynyk (groin) and Precious Achiuwa are ahead of Leonard on the depth chart anyway. Leonard can remain […]

Kelly Olynyk Might Sit Out Sunday

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. Olynyk has been dealing with a groin contusion, but was able to play 32 minutes on Saturday. Possibly, the Heat decide to rest him here out of caution. Precious Achiuwa and Maurice Harkless stand to gain the most […]

The Celtics, much like the 76ers on Saturday, will be shorthanded against the Miami Heat due to the league's health and safety protocols relating to COVID-19. While […]

Jimmy Butler Misses Triple-Double By One Dime

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler played pretty much perfect basketball on Saturday, recording 26 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, two steals, one block, and zero turnovers in a 128-124 win over the Wizards. He shot 10-for-18 from the field and 6-for-6 at the line. Butler has had some tough offensive outings so far, and […]

Tyler Herro Has Career-High 31 Points Saturday Night

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro ended a slump in style on Saturday, finishing a 128-124 win over Washington with a career-high 31 points on 12-for-20 shooting. He added nine rebounds and two assists with three turnovers. Herro had managed only 15 total points in the previous two games, so it was a big bounce-back performance. […]

Kelly Olynyk (PF/C, MIA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kelly Olynyk has carved out enough of a role in the Miami Heat frontcourt to be playing a career-high 25.2 minutes per game, and while Maurice Harkless could eat into those minutes upon his return, Olynyk has likely established his presence in the […]
