Ware popped up on the injury report with a hip injury, but was ultimately ruled in against the Cavaliers on Monday. With Bam Adebayo (toe) set to miss another game, Ware is an excellent streaming option despite the difficult matchup with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.

Reaves is back in the lineup after a three-game absence due to a groin injury. His return means Jake LaRavia heads back to the bench, where his fantasy value takes a slight hit. However, LaRavia is worth holding onto until LeBron James returns, especially in deep leagues. The other four starters are unchanged.

Ware popped up on the injury report with a right hip flexor strain. While that all sounds concerning, the Heat are listing him as probable for Monday’s game against the Cavaliers. With Bam Adebayo (toe) already ruled out, Ware is a worthwhile streaming option if he plays.

Thiero, the 36th overall pick in June’s draft, has been dealing with a left knee issue since last season while playing at Arkansas. He’s making positive progress in his recovery and could make his NBA debut at some point during the Lakers’ ongoing five-game road trip. After Monday, the Lakers play games against Oklahoma City, New Orleans and Milwaukee before returning home.

James has not appeared in a game this season, but he’s taking steps toward changing that soon. Cleared for contact activity last week, the 40-year-old forward will practice with the Lakers’ G League affiliate in South Bay on Monday. Until LeBron is cleared to return, the Lakers will lean on Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves to lead the way offensively.

Considered probable following the pregame shootaround on Monday afternoon, Reaves is officially available to play after a three-game absence. His return will most likely push Jake LaRavia to the bench. LaRavia is worth holding onto since LeBron James remains out of the lineup.

Reaves has been sidelined for the Lakers’ last three games, so it’s unclear if he’ll face a minutes restriction in his return to action. Jake LaRavia is the player who will be most impacted by Reaves’ availability, but the former has played far too well to see his minutes plummet. LaRavia is worth a hold until his numbers fall off.

Reaves is managing a mild strain of his right groin and has missed the last three games. His status impacts Jake LaRavia the most, as he’ll remain in the starting lineup until Reaves is available to play. Fantasy managers who are streaming LaRavia should hold onto him until it’s clear that Reaves can play.

Jović nearly recorded a triple-double off the bench against a Portland team that entered the night ranked ninth in defensive rating. He connected on three of seven attempts from beyond the arc and shot 63 percent from the field overall. The 22-year-old hasn’t exactly been a consistent fantasy contributor this season, but performances like this offer glimpses of his all-around upside as he continues to develop. An increase in three-point volume would go a long way toward unlocking his long-term scoring ceiling.

Jaquez, who entered the night questionable with an ankle injury, served as Miami’s offensive catalyst, dishing out seven assists and delivering several clutch buckets — including a go-ahead layup with just over two minutes left. The 24-year-old guard has done a little bit of everything for the Heat while Tyler Herro remains sidelined following offseason ankle surgery, averaging 17 points, seven rebounds, and five assists in 30 minutes per game — all career highs.

Vanderbilt hasn’t been much of a producer in the box score this season, but he was able to have a productive night off the bench in this game. He had his first double-double of the season and set a new season-high for rebounds. It was an excellent performance for him, but this isn’t going to happen often. He averaged 8.5 points, 10 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals in his two starts in October, and the only time he’ll be worth considering as a streamer is when he’s starting.

In what was a bad loss for the Lakers, LaRavia, who remained a starter in place of Austin Reaves (groin), was able to have a solid night. LaRavia has been productive as a starter this season, and he’ll continue to play a large role for Los Angeles for the rest of the year. Prior to the game, head coach JJ Redick said that Reaves is expected to be back on this five-game road trip, with this game in Atlanta kicking that off. If Reaves remains out in Charlotte on Monday, LaRavia should get another start, but his time in that role is likely running out.

While Dončić was still the leading scorer for the Lakers, he wasn’t able to provide his usual dose of buckets. He set a new season-low for scoring in the ugly loss. This is a game to forget for fantasy managers; Dončić won’t be this bad often, and he should be able to respond in Charlotte on Monday to kick off a four-game week.

Reaves doesn’t have much pain, and the expectation is that he’ll return during this five-game road trip. Reaves has already been ruled out against the Hawks on Saturday, so his next chance to play will be in Charlotte on Monday. Jake LaRavia will continue to start for now.

Jaquez left Friday’s game against the Hornets with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard sprained his ankle with just minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

Adebayo was diagnosed with a big toe sprain earlier this week. While the 28-year-old center is set to miss his second consecutive game, it’s a relief for fantasy managers that he avoided a major injury. Kel’el Ware should continue to start in place of Adebayo until he returns.

Jaquez has gotten off to an excellent start this season, providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. Unfortunately, fantasy managers will have to account for the possibility that he doesn’t play in Saturday’s game against Portland after spraining his left ankle with just over a minute remaining in Friday’s victory. If Jaquez sits, that would free up additional minutes for fellow reserve Nikola Jović, who finished with 10 points, four rebounds, three assists, three steals and one blocked shot in 19 minutes.

Friday’s game was the first for Miami since losing Bam Adebayo to a foot injury during Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets. After coming off the bench in the two previous games, Ware moved into the starting lineup on Friday, and he struggled offensively. The second-year center shot 2-of-7 inside the restricted area, which was a disappointing output. Depending on how long the Heat will be without Adebayo, they’ll need Ware to be consistently productive.

Larsson has started Miami’s last six games, providing inconsistent value on the offensive end of the floor. He’s reached double figures three times, with Friday’s point total being a career-high for the second-year wing. Rostered in one percent of Yahoo! leagues, Larsson has been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats since moving into the starting five. If Norman Powell or Jaime Jaquez Jr. cannot play in Saturday’s game against Portland after suffering sprained ankles during Friday’s victory, Larsson will be worth the risk in deeper leagues.

For the first time this season, Wiggins has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. A top-50 player over the last week, the Heat forward has been a seventh-round player in nine-cat formats this season. His short-term value will be impacted by the availability of Norman Powell and Jaime Jaquez Jr., who both suffered sprained ankles during Friday’s victory. Add Bam Adebayo’s foot injury, and this is a good time to have Wiggins on your fantasy roster.

Powell, who missed three games last week with a groin injury, exited Friday’s game during the second quarter after spraining his right ankle. The good news is that he was back on the court to begin the third quarter and ultimately logged 27 minutes. However, with the Heat hosting the Trail Blazers, there may be some concern surrounding Powell’s availability. Consider him questionable for Miami’s final game of Week 3.

Ware rejoins Miami’s starting lineup in the absence of Bam Adebayo, who suffered a toe injury in Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets. Ware has been in and out of the starting lineup to begin his second NBA season, but given the expected boost in opportunities, he could be on double-double watch on Friday. The Heat will look to get on the right side of .500 as they take on the Hornets.

Adebayo left Wednesday’s game after only eight minutes with what was referred to as a foot injury. He had an MRI today, and the results appear to be great news for the Heat. A big toe sprain could linger, and the Heat are likely to be cautious with their big man this early in the season, but it’s a relief for the team that Adebayo has avoided a major injury. Kel’el Ware figures to pick up big minutes on Friday and would be worth an add in fantasy leagues as long as Adebayo is out.

The 40-year-old and not appeared in a game so far this season as he battles sciatica. Progressing to contact drills is certainly a good sign, and the team says he’ll be reevaluated in approximately 1-2 weeks. Given his age and the desire to have him healthy for the postseason, it seems fair to assume that the team may wait another two weeks for that evaluation and to update his timeline. Luca Doncic and Austin Reaves will continue to carry the load for the Lakers in the meantime.

For the first time this season, Ayton has recorded double-doubles in consecutive games. Faced with the challenging task of defending Victor Wembanyama, the Lakers center held his own and provided his team with needed production in the frontcourt. Thus far, Ayton has been a top-100 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, proving to be slightly more valuable in the former. There remains the question of what his role will look like once LeBron James is available to play, but Ayton is in a good spot right now.

Back in the Lakers’ starting lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over Portland, Dončić finished one rebound shy of a triple-double. And he made some history, becoming the first Laker to accumulate at least 35 points, 10 assists and five steals in a single game (steals did not become an official stat until 1973-74). Luka’s five steals matched his career-high, and he also blocked two shots. Sure, he missed four free throws, but the overall line more than compensated for that.

Adebayo injured his left foot during the first half of Thursday’s game, and while the Heat announced that he was questionable to return, the three-time All-Star never did. Losing Bam for an extended period of time would be massive for the Heat, thrusting Kel’el Ware into the spotlight. He played 27 minutes off the bench in Denver, finishing with 13 points, 13 rebounds, four steals, one block and two three-pointers. Ware is rostered in 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and managers in 10-team leagues may want to get ahead of the rush to add the second-year center.

Powell returned from a groin injury that caused him to miss three games on Monday with 21 points in a win over his former team the Clippers. The 32-year-old shooting guard continues to look like he’s over the injury as he dropped 23 points and four threes on the Nuggets on Wednesday. Powell will have Thursday off before the Heat play a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. Playing in both of those games appears to be the last hurdle for Powell.

After an inefficient 15-point effort against the Lakers on Sunday, Wiggins rebounded with a solid offensive showing against the Clippers. He shot over 50 percent from the field and recorded a complete stat line in the 120-119 victory. However, the production was limited outside of points and three-pointers. The good news for fantasy managers is that Wiggins’ output has been respectable outside of free-throw percentage, as he’s making just 57.9 percent of his attempts. Remove that category from the equation, and Wggins is a top-100 player.

Adebayo recorded his fourth double-double of the season on Monday, helping Miami hold on for a one-point win. And after shooting 36.2 percent from the field in his first three games, the Heat center has been a more efficient scorer. Adebayo has scored 25 points or more in three of his last four and has provided top-15 value in nine-cat formats during this stretch. Getting Tyler Herro back will help with the offensive spacing when that time comes, but Adebayo should be fine regardless of who else is available for the Heat.
