The Heat are without Andrew Wiggins (leg) for Monday’s game, and his absence has prompted two changes to the starting lineup. Jaquez will fill the void left by Wiggins, while Highsmith replaces Kel’el Ware. Jaquez is worth streaming in deep leagues out of necessity, while managers who have Ware rostered should hold onto him.

Wiggins only played 22 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Grizzlies, and a lower left leg contusion will keep him out of Monday’s game in New York. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Pelle Larsson are two players who should see additional minutes, with the former being more likely to move into the starting lineup.

Bridges has produced at a high level for Charlotte recently, but they’ll give him the night off against Atlanta. Marcus Garrett, Nick Smith Jr. and Wendell Moore Jr. are all candidates to fill out the open spot in the starting lineup.

Ball has been dealing with a sore right wrist but has been active for the Hornets’ last four games. The probable tag suggests he will be able to play against the Hawks. If LaMelo cannot play, Nick Smith Jr. and Seth Curry may pick up additional minutes. Garrett’s availability does not impact fantasy basketball.

Ball, who was seven years old when the Hornets last beat the Clippers on the road, struggled with his shot on Sunday. While he had a good night in the Hornets’ win over San Antonio on Friday, LaMelo has made 33.3 percent of his attempts from the field since the All-Star break. On Sunday, the point total and assist production wasn’t good enough to compensate for the poor shooting. Ball will look to bounce back when the Hornets host Atlanta on Tuesday.

Due to the nature of Sunday’s game, which the Hornets lost by a 123-88 final score, Williams only played 25 minutes. However, that did not prevent him from providing excellent value for those who have him rostered. Williams has played 29 minutes or less in his last five appearances but has provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats during this stretch. That’s a positive for fantasy managers, as Williams may not log starters’ minutes for the rest of the season. Nothing has been made official, but this is the time of year when lottery-bound teams look to improve their draft odds. The Hornets play four games during Week 20, starting with the Hawks on Tuesday.

Wiggins’ leg injury is a new thing, and he is coming off two consecutive games with at least 20 points. If he this injury forces him to miss Monday’s game, Jaime Jaquez Jr. is the likely candidate to replace him in the starting unit.

After scoring 15 points on 5-of-14 shooting in his prior two outings, Adebayo was more productive in Memphis. Unfortunately for him, that wasn’t enough to end Miami’s losing streak, which is now seven games. The good news for fantasy managers is that Adebayo’s fantasy value has skyrocketed since the All-Star break, as he has been a top 30 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Miami begins a four-game Week 20 with a game against the Knicks on Monday.

Ware returned to the Heat starting lineup on Saturday and was among the few bright spots in their 125-91 defeat. The rookie’s double-double was his eighth of the season and first since February 23. Whether or not Ware can build on Saturday’s effort will depend on his place within the rotation. Being allowed to start raises the rookie’s fantasy ceiling considerably. Jaime Jaquez Jr., who Ware replaced in the starting lineup, finished with 13 points, five rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes.

Ware returns to the starting lineup in the only change for the Heat, replacing Jaime Jaquez Jr. While the rookie’s production has tailed off since the All-Star break, he’s worth slotting into fantasy lineups when allowed to start. Jaquez isn’t worth holding onto in most leagues when coming off the bench.

Green has played at least 25 minutes in all seven games the Hornets have played in March, but the 24-year-old small forward has had more than three points in just two of those games. Green was on point with his 3-point shot Friday as he knocked down six shots from behind the arc. It was an impressive shooting display, but Green doesn’t warrant being rostered in fantasy leagues until he makes these occasional good games a more regular event.

Bridges has scored at least 20 points in seven straight games and shot at least 50 percent from the field in each of his last three games. The 26-year-old small forward was just three rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double against the Spurs. Bridges has been a top-10 fantasy value over the last two weeks with his uptick in scoring. Fantasy managers have to hope the Hornets allow him to continue playing through the fantasy playoffs as they did last season.

Ball’s 15 assists were a season-high. The 23-year-old point guard had recorded at least 10 assists in a game just once in his last 10 games entering play Friday. He was the focal point of the offense as they scored 145 points against the Spurs. Ball dropped 27 points on 13 shots including seven made 3-pointers. He had four turnovers again and has had at least four turnovers in five of seven games so far in March. While his turnovers are a headache for fantasy managers in nine-category leagues, the potential for a late-season shutdown given his previous ankle issues is also a concern.

Herro was coming off a game where he scored 31 points Wednesday against the Clippers as Bam Adebayo failed to reach 10 points. Adebayo had just nine points against the Celtics, but Herro took a backseat on offensive to Andrew Wiggins. The 25-year-old point guard is typically the focal point of the offense, though. Herro still had 19 points and was able to fill up the stat sheet in every category. He’s provided fourth-round fantasy value over the past two weeks.

Wiggins was hardly efficient on offense with 23 points on 21 shots. He led the Heat in both categories, though, as he took the lead on offense for Miami. Wiggins has now had at least 20 points in back-to-back games. The 30-year-old small forward also contributed on the defensive end with four steals. Wiggins has provided 12th-round fantasy value since being acquired by the Heat.

Kel’el Ware, available despite dealing with a knee injury, will come off the bench for the first time since January 19. Davion Mitchell is also moving to the bench, which means the ball will be in Tyler Herro’s hands even more than usual. With their moves into the starting lineup, Robinson and Jaquez will be more valuable in fantasy leagues.

Points and three-pointers are why Robinson remains valuable in some deep leagues, and those who have him rostered were rewarded handsomely on Wednesday. He’s made multiple three-pointers in nine straight appearances, and the five triples are the most for Robinson since February 26. Averaging 3.7 three-pointers per game, the Heat guard/forward has been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats over his last nine.

Wiggins has scored 22 points in two of his last three outings and has five 20-point games since joining the Heat at the February trade deadline. Missing five games with a sprained ankle certainly didn’t help Wiggins acclimate to his new surroundings, which hasn’t been good for those who have him rostered. Since making his Heat debut on February 10, Wiggins has been a 12th-round player in nine-cat formats.

Herro shouldered most of the offensive workload on Wednesday, as Bam Adebayo (6/7/7/5) didn’t crack double figures and only Andrew Wiggins surpassed the 20-point mark. Over the past two weeks, Herro has been a fourth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats, one round worse than his season-long value in both. Given Miami’s lack of high-level scorers, Herro will continue to shoulder the responsibilities of being the team’s top offensive option.

Herro was dealing with an illness entering this game, but that didn’t keep him from extending his streak of 20-point games to three. Herro has enjoyed the best season of his career thus far, but he wasn’t able to do enough on Monday to end Miami’s losing streak, which now sits at four games. Things won’t get easier as the week progresses, with matchups against the Clippers, Celtics and Grizzlies coming up. Still, for fantasy managers, Herro should continue to fill up the stat sheet. He only hit one three-pointer in this game, but that won’t happen often.

It has been a down season overall for Adebayo, but he has been playing incredibly well in recent weeks. This was his fourth-straight game with at least 20 points, and he has averaged 24.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 three-pointers per game over the past two weeks, which has him ranked inside the top ten in nine-cat value during that stretch. Adebayo is clicking at the right time for fantasy managers, and Miami still has three more games this week, with the Clippers up next on Wednesday.

After sitting out the second leg of Charlotte’s back-to-back on Saturday, Ball returned to the lineup against Miami. He fouled out of his last two appearances and had at least four fouls in five straight games, but that wasn’t an issue on Monday. What was an issue was his poor shooting, though that isn’t a new thing for him either. He was extra bad in that regard in this game, but he has shot worse than 40 percent from the floor in seven straight games. He’ll look to get back on track in Atlanta on Wednesday.

After missing Charlotte’s last two games, Williams was back in the starting unit against Miami. He got right back to work and was able to contribute value across the board to help the Hornets win consecutive games for the first time since January. Though availability continues to be an issue for him, Williams has been a fantasy stud when on the floor this season. Of course, a trade being rescinded because of your health is a red flag for dynasty managers.

Bridges has been on quite the tear over Charlotte’s last five games. He has scored at least 25 points in four of their last five, with a 23-point night mixed in. He has scored at least 35 in three of those, with a career-high 46 point night in there as well. During that stretch, he has averaged 33 points, 8.6 rebounds, four assists, one block and 3.2 three-pointers per game while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor and 92.5 percent from the free throw line. This was the first of a four-game week, with all of their games on the road. Bridges will look to keep it going in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Wiggins started Monday’s game off strong, scoring 12 points in the first quarter. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to add much to his scoring total after that.
