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.

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.

This was Chicago’s first game without Josh Giddey (ankle), and it’s unclear exactly how many more games he’ll miss. It will likely be a multi-game absence, which provides Huerter with some value as a streaming option. This was his second start as a Bull, and he is now averaging 20.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 4.5 three-pointers as a starter for Chicago. Huerter is rostered in just 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Chicago only has one more game left this week, but they have a four-game week after that.

Jones remained in the starting lineup with Lonzo Ball (wrist) sidelined for a sixth-straight game. Jones has started Chicago’s last five and averaged 14 points, 5.6 rebounds, six assists and 1.2 steals per game, which has him ranked in the top-75 in nine-cat leagues during that stretch. With Josh Giddey (ankle) also sidelined, Jones should continue to be Chicago’s top playmaking option in Houston on Saturday to close out the week. The Bulls will play four games next week, which gives Jones some extra streaming appeal.

White has been on quite the impressive run recently. Chicago has won five consecutive games, and White has averaged 30 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, one steal and 3.2 three-pointers per game while shooting 48.6 percent from the field and and 89.7 percent from the free throw line. Those averages have him providing third-round value during this stretch. Chicago now sit 1.5 games behind Miami for the ninth seed in the East, and if White keeps playing like this, they may be able to move up the standings before the season ends.

Phillips hasn’t contributed much since being drafted with the No. 35 pick in 2023, but everything came together on Thursday. He played a career-high 34 minutes and set new career-highs for points, rebounds and assists. It was an impressive performance from the 21-year-old forward, and it would be surprising if Chicago didn’t further explore his upside over the final month of the season. The production will be inconsistent, but he should have a consistent role moving forward.

Huerter will replace Josh Giddey (ankle) in the starting lineup. Giddey may miss a few games, but an official timeline for him isn’t clear. Vucevic will return to the starting unit in place of Zach Collins, who had been starting while Vucevic was out. Vucevic is expected to be limited to 28-30 minutes, so Collins should still play a significant role for a reserve.

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.

Rozier should be good to go despite a chest illness, but Rozier has had an abysmal season in Miami. He currently ranks outside the top-200 in nine-cat leagues for the first time since the 2016-17 season.

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.

Monday’s game was Williams’s first since February 12, and he was restricted to 24 minutes. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, he finished nowhere near that number. Williams has not provided much fantasy value this season, and when healthy, he hasn’t done enough to earn starters’ minutes consistently. There’s a reason why Williams is only rostered in four percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Appearing in his first game since February 22, Vucevic was used in a reserve role for just the second time in his Bulls career. That didn’t prevent him from recording his 195th double-double as a Bull, moving into third on the franchise’s all-time list behind Artis Gilmore and Scottie Pippen. Zach Collins retained his spot in the starting lineup and played 23 minutes, finishing with seven points, nine rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer. When Vooch returns to the starting lineup remains to be seen. But this may be where he stays in that role until he’s freed from any restrictions.

Seemingly on his way to the best scoring effort of his NBA career, Giddey’s night ended disappointingly during the fourth quarter. He injured his right ankle after landing on the foot of a Pacers defender and did not return from the locker room. What’s concerning is that this is the same ankle Giddey injured during Australia’s final game during the Paris Olympics, which limited him during the preseason. If he has to miss time, Kevin Huerter (13/4/1/3/1 with three three-pointers in 34 minutes) will have added importance, possibly as Giddey’s replacement in the starting lineup.

The tandem of White and Josh Giddey was outstanding on Monday, as they combined to score 58 points. Over the past month, Coby has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. That production is two rounds better than what he’s done this season, and the Bulls may need a little more from White in the short term. Giddey injured his right ankle during the fourth quarter, and the Bulls have also been without Lonzo Ball and Ayo Dosunmu. With Dosunmu out for the season and Ball not having a timeline for return, look for White’s usage to increase if Giddey misses time.

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. Following a five-game absence with an ankle injury, he has been solid in two games since returning.

Miami still has three more games this week, with a matchup against the Clippers on Wednesday up next.
