While Burks has been a consistent member of the Heat rotation, Jovic has not appeared in a game since fracturing his hand just after the All-Star. Whether or not Nikola will be available for Miami’s play-in tournament matchup with the Bulls is unknown, but the Heat have no such concerns with Burks. The Heat are locked into the 10-seed regardless of Sunday’s result, so players like Keshad Johnson and Josh Christopher should play plenty.

Miami already knows its seed and opponent for next week’s play-in tournament, so there isn’t anything at stake for Sunday’s regular-season finale. Wiggins and Larsson will rest up for next week’s matchup with the Bulls, as will multiple Heat rotation players. Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are absent from the injury report, so they should log extended minutes on Sunday.

The Heat are locked into the 10-seed in the East, regardless of Sunday’s outcome. Herro and Adebayo will sit out the regular season finale to avoid a little wear-and-tear ahead of their play-in tournament matchup with Chicago. While Kel’el Ware is available, his playing time could be limited since there isn’t anything on the line. Keshad Johnson and Josh Christopher are two players who are likely to log extended minutes after not being in the rotation for most of the season.

Adebayo’s line would’ve been reasonable had he played at least 35 minutes Friday against the Pelicans, but it was all the more impressive because he only played 22 minutes as the Heat won by 49. The 27-year-old center still managed a double-double and hit four three-pointers. While he got off to a slow start this season, Adebayo has finished the year strong for fantasy managers that stuck with the Heat big man.

Ware played just 26 minutes as the Heat blew out the Pelicans by 49 points. The 20-year-old center still managed to put up a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Ware is just scratching the surface of his potential in his first season in the NBA. He’s been a top-100 player in fantasy since the All-Star break and remains a growth stock that we’re interested in buying in future seasons.

Herro had 22 points on just 10 shots in 22 minutes against the Pelicans Friday. The 25-year-old point guard was +46 as the Heat won by 49 points. Herro was probable with a thigh injury, but would’ve played more minutes had the game been closer. The Heat take on the Wizards in the season finale Sunday, where a similar situation could arise as the game is only meaningful to the Heat.

Porter Jr. continues to be a revelation in the season’s final two weeks. The 24-year-old point guard came off the bench Friday, but played 31 minutes, more than every starter not named Giannis Antetokounmpo. While Porter Jr. has certainly benefited from the absence of Damian Lillard, he’s also been a top-50 fantasy player over the last two weeks. He’s made the most of his opportunity and that shouldn’t go unnoticed.

Portis has been awesome in three games since returning from a suspension for taking a banned substance. The 30-year-old power forward had his second double-double in his last three games. Portis played 33 off the bench and will be a key player for the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs.

The Bucks only needed one more win to secure the fifth spot in the Eastern Conference playoff standings and they got it on Friday. Antetokounmpo was probable with a shoulder injury, but played 38 minutes and had a triple-double against the Pistons Friday. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him rest in the Bucks’ season finale against the Pistons Sunday.

The good news for Miami is that Herro is back after missing Saturday’s loss to the Bucks due to an injury. His return means Duncan Robinson heads to the bench, where his fantasy value takes a noticeable hit. However, the Heat will be without Ban Adebayo, so Highsmith moves into the starting five. While starting gives him a shot at fantasy relevance, Haywood’s inconsistent production makes him difficult to rely on.

Herro is back in the Heat lineup after missing Saturday’s loss to the Bucks. His return means Duncan Robinson will head to the bench, which limits the three-point shooter’s fantasy value. Burks has been a fixture in the starting lineup since March 25, and that’s unlikely to change on Monday.

Adebayo’s absence has a more significant impact on the Heat rotation and fantasy basketball, as Wiggins has not played since March 27. Bam not playing may result in Kyle Anderson moving into the starting lineup, while starter Kel’el Ware’s playing time should increase. As for Wiggins, Pelle Larsson will continue to fill the void he’s left in the starting five. Larsson is worth a look in extremely deep leagues that remain active.

Lopez has scored at least 17 points in four straight games, one of his most productive stretches of the season. In addition to his 20 points, the veteran center finished Sunday’s victory with a double-double and four blocked shots. Before Sunday, Lopez last recorded four or more blocks in a game on March 13. He’s provided third-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks and will have added value for Week 23, especially if Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) misses more time.

As with Gary Trent Jr., the absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) meant Porter would move into the starting lineup on Sunday. He had an excellent night in New Orleans, shooting just below 50 percent from the field while not committing a turnover. Porter has not been the safest streaming option with Damian Lillard out of the lineup, but he did boast a higher ceiling. He’ll be worth a look in active leagues for Week 23, as the Bucks play four games.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) out, Trent moved into the Bucks’ starting lineup on Sunday. The move gave him a welcomed boost, and Sunday was an excellent night to stream the guard. Not only were Trent’s 29 points a season-high, but this was also his first game with at least 20 since March 20. Damian Lillard’s absence has raised Trent’s ceiling, but he’s even better when Giannis is also out, since it has meant he’ll be in the starting lineup.

Connaughton has been downgraded to out for Sunday’s game, meaning the Bucks will have one less option off the bench. While his absence could result in Andre Jackson Jr. playing rotation minutes, there is little to gain from rostering the second-year wing out of UConn.

Antetokounmpo is unavailable for Sunday’s game after putting forth an outstanding effort in Saturday’s win over the Heat.

Wiggins has missed Miami’s last four games with a hamstring injury, and he said it has been a lingering issue. He did not have a specific date for a return, so Wiggins may not be of much service to fantasy managers whose leagues are active through Week 23. Miami plays four games, starting with the 76ers on Monday, and Pelle Larsson should remain in the starting lineup until Wiggins is cleared. Larsson finished Saturday’s loss with three points (1-of-8 FGs), four rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in 39 minutes.

Mitchell was one of two Heat players to notch a season-high point total on Saturday, with Alec Burks being the other. “Off Night” has provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks, a welcome turn of events for a player who has not been much of a fantasy asset during his NBA career. With the Heat playing in one of the two games on Monday’s schedule, Mitchell is worth a dice roll in leagues that will be active.

Despite starting Miami’s last seven games, Burks has not been on the radar of most fantasy leagues, and with good reason. He’s been far too inconsistent, so he remains rostered in just one percent of Yahoo! leagues. Saturday’s performance was Burks’s best this season, as he recorded a season-high point total and hit six three-pointers. For managers whose leagues run through Week 23, Miami’s four-game week may offer some intrigue, especially since they’re active on Monday. However, Burks boasts an extremely low floor, especially if Tyler Herro can play.

While he could not lead the Heat to a win on a night when Tyler Herro was unavailable, Adebayo recorded an excellent stat line for those who have him rostered. The 30-point double-double was his first since March 5 and fifth of the season. Over the past two weeks, Adebayo has provided top-40 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. While he did not get off to the best start this season, Bam’s “finishing kick” has been excellent for those who have him rostered.

The Heat were without Tyler Herro for Saturday’s game, leading to Robinson moving into the starting lineup. The good news for the Heat is that he played 31 minutes without any issues, as Robinson has been dealing with a back injury. From a production standpoint, the points and three-pointers were expected. If Herro remains out for Monday’s game against the 76ers, Robinson will be a worthwhile streamer in active leagues.

Damian Lillard’s absence has not impacted Lopez’s fantasy value much, as he has been a fifth-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Porter stepped up for the Bucks in a big way Saturday night, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. The 12 rebounds were a season-high for the guard, who shot 50 percent from the field and only committed one turnover. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Porter has provided 12th-round value in eight-cat formats since Damian Lillard was ruled out with a blood clot in his calf.

Giannis finished Saturday’s overtime victory with his second triple-double in as many games and the ninth of the season. His fantasy value has increased substantially since Damian Lillard was ruled out with a blood clot in his calf.

For managers whose leagues run through Week 23, the Bucks play four games, starting with the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

He did all that while only turning the ball over twice. But the most astonishing part? His success at the free throw line. He has shot 21-of-23 from the charity stripe over Milwaukee’s last two games, which is a significant improvement over his 61.6 percent free throw shooting this season. Antetokounmpo has stepped up with Damian Lillard sidelined indefinitely, and he has two more games this week to pour in stats for fantasy managers, though he likely won’t continue to shoot 90 percent from the foul line.
