With Khris Middleton (ankle) sidelined for the first leg of Washington’s back-to-back, Carrington will make a return to the starting lineup. The Wizards will play in Detroit on Tuesday, so Carrington will likely be pushed back to the bench for that game, though he has been productive as a starter.

Highsmith will once again be available to play. He will continue to occupy his typical significant role off the bench, though he hasn’t contributed much in the box score. However, he has been efficient recently, which has helped him provide top-125 value in nine-cat leagues over the last two weeks.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Robinson is available and will provide depth off the bench. While he has been a consistent member of the Heat rotation, Robinson offers limited upside in fantasy basketball. Unless there’s a need for three-pointers, he is not a must-roster player in most leagues.

Burks will miss a third-straight game due to lower back pain. Burks started three games in a row prior to this stint on the sidelines, but with Tyler Herro healthy, that won’t continue when he returns. Duncan Robinson, Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will continue to dominate the reserve minutes on the perimeter.

No surprise here as Herro was initially listed as probable with an illness. Fantasy managers can insert the 25-year-old point guard into lineups as usual Monday. Herro has been a top-30 fantasy player since the All-Star break.

Middleton and Smart are out for injury management reasons, so the Wizards’ young players will again be the priority. Bub Carrington will likely move into the starting lineup, while there should be bench minutes available to Jaylen Nowell and Erik Stevenson. There’s no need to stream Nowell or Stevenson in this spot, but Carrington is worth adding.

Holmes has missed two of the Wizards’ last three games, while Jones has not made his debut for the team after being acquired from the Kings at the February trade deadline. Holmes’ absence means Tristan Vukcevic will play rotation minutes as Alexandre Sarr’s backup. He is not a must-stream player in that spot.

Ware scored his seven points on seven shot attempts, so there wasn’t much to write home about on offense. He shined, however, on the defensive end with a team-high rebound total and four stocks. Production like this is absolutely sustainable for the rookie moving forward.

Wiggins was hot in four contests before his five-game absence, and he picked up right where he left off against Chicago. Wiggins tied Bam Adebayo for team lead in the scoring department, and he shot an efficient 9-of-17 from the floor and 3-of-5 from beyond the arc.

Sarr tied his career-high in rebounds while finishing with his seventh double-double of his rookie campaign. Toronto was steamrolled in the paint, as Bilal Coulibaly (18 points, 10 rebounds) and Richaun Holmes (10 points, 11 rebounds) posted double-doubles of their own. Sarr’s 5-of-16 shooting performance left much to be desired on offense, but fantasy managers will certainly take the boards.

Wiggins will return following a five-game absence, and he should immediately re-join the starting five. In four games prior to his injury, Wiggins averaged 20.8 points, five rebounds, three assists and 1.3 steals.

Poole will return to the court following a three-game absence, which will likely send Bub Carrington back to the bench. Across his last five outings, Poole averaged 25.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists, and he’ll look to pick back up where he left off. Holmes should assume his role as Alex Sarr’s primary backup after one game on the sideline. Even off the bench, Holmes still carries some streaming value in deeper leagues.

Wiggins and Burks both sat against the Timberwolves on Friday. Pelle Larsson stepped in as a starter for Wiggins and will likely do so again if he’s ruled out for another contest to kick off the weekend. A host of wings could help absorb Burks’ minutes.

Adebayo had a chance to win Friday’s game, but his three-point attempt was well off the mark as time expired. However, fantasy managers will be pleased with the Heat center’s final stat line, as he extended his double-double streak to three games. Since the All-Star break, Adebayo has provided top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, which is well ahead of his production for the season. Between the injuries and Jimmy Butler no longer being a team member, the Heat need this version of Adebayo to show up nightly.

With Alec Burks unavailable, Larsson made his first start since January 23 and second of the season on Friday. Unfortunately, the rookie wing did not provide much value, ultimately ceding playing time to reserves Duncan Robinson (15/4/1/2 with four three-pointers) and Haywood Highsmith (9/5/4/1 with one three-pointer). While worthy of a look in deep leagues due to the spot start, Larsson didn’t do enough to merit being added ahead of Saturday’s game against the Bulls.

Herro returned to the Heat lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Cavaliers with an illness, playing 39 minutes and recording a complete stat line. Since the All-Star break, the Heat guard has been a top-30 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While Friday’s performance wasn’t the cleanest regarding Herro’s percentage from the field, Saturday’s matchup with the Bulls sets up to be a good one for him.

The Heat are without Alec Burks for Friday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Larsson will fill the void and is worth a look in deep leagues because the Heat are shorthanded on the wings. The other change is Herro, whose return from an illness pushes the ineffective Terry Rozier to the bench.

Both Wiggins and Herro sat out Wednesday, and Miami turned to Davion Mitchell, Alex Burks, Duncan Robinson and Terry Rozier to pick up the slack. That squad held its own and could have played Cleveland to overtime if not been for an errant out-of-bounds on Robinson before a would-be game-tying three. That same group would be in line for extended run on Friday if Wiggins or Herro are out again.

With Burks joining Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr. as questionable for Friday’s game, the Heat’s rotation will be dependent on the status of quite a few players.

If Burks joins the rest of them on the sidelines, Duncan Robinson could move into the starting lineup.

This will be a third-straight absence for Ware, which will likely lead to a third-straight start for Kevin Love. However, Love has only averaged 14 minutes per game across Miami’s last two games.

With Tyler Herro (illness) unavailable, the Heat needed an elite performance from Adebayo to win in Cleveland. Bam did his part, recording a season-high point total and his fourth 30-point double-double of the season. While hovering outside the top 50 this season, Adebayo has increased his production since the All-Star break. Per Basketball Monster, he has been a top-25 player in nine-cat formats since the break and is ranked 26th in eight-cat. Wednesday’s Adebayo is the version the Heat will need as the regular season approaches its conclusion, and that would also benefit fantasy managers.

Mitchell returned to the lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over the Wizards with a quad injury, starting alongside Terry Rozier due to Tyler Herro (illness) being unavailable. “Off-Night” didn’t provide much scoring, but the assists should be helpful to category league managers. As for Rozier, he shot 3-of-14 from the field and finished with 12 points, one rebound, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer. If Herro can return for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves, he’ll likely start alongside Mitchell, with Rozier headed to the bench.

Carrington has started the last few games with Jordan Poole out with an elbow injury. While the move into the starting lineup certainly raises the 19-year-old point guard’s ceiling, he hasn’t quite reached it yet.

He can be counted on for assists when given increased opportunity, but his scoring leaves much to be desired.

George’s shooting struggles remain, but that isn’t something that dynasty managers should worry about. He will figure that out eventually. It’s everything else that he has done this season that makes him an exciting prospect, and this game was no exception. George set a new career-high for assists and was able to maintain his recent uptick in defensive production. George should be considered a high-upside option during “silly season”, and he has shown plenty of flashes in his first year in the league that should make him an enticing rookie to dynasty managers.
