The Heat are without Andrew Wiggins and Jaime Jaquez Jr.; both are out with ankle injuries. Burks moves into the starting lineup to face the team he’s played for on two occasions. The promotion gives him a shot at achieving fantasy relevance, but Burks is not a must-add player in this spot.

Wiggins and Jaquez will miss Sunday’s game with ankle injuries, meaning the Heat will be without the top two players on their depth chart at the position. Duncan Robinson may be the replacement in the starting lineup, and he can provide points and three-pointers in that role. Kyle Anderson is another option at Erik Spoelstra’s disposal. Wiggins has now missed back-to-back games with the ankle injury.

Trent hasn’t been consistently productive since the Bucks lost Bobby Portis to a 25-game suspension, but he does have added importance. Saturday night, he recorded his first 20-point game since February 12 (21 vs. Minnesota), the Bucks’ final game before the All-Star break. Rostered in 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Trent hasn’t been a top 200 player in eight- or nine-cat formats. However, with the Bucks playing two back-to-backs during Week 18, he may be worth the streaming risk in extremely deep leagues.

Lillard has only been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, and field goal percentage has been a factor. He’s shooting just 40.3 percent from the field, four-plus points lower than his mark for the season (44.7). Lillard has been hit-or-miss since the break, alternating solid (or better) shooting nights with clunkers against the Clippers (February 20) and Rockets (February 25). However, the upcoming schedule may be more concerning for fantasy managers, as Milwaukee’s Week 18 consists of two back-to-backs.

Antetokounmpo was again limited to 32 minutes, but that was all he needed to have a devastating effect on both ends of the floor. The Bucks’ superstar forward recorded excellent percentages and finished one rebound and one assist from a triple-double. Since the All-Star break, Giannis has provided top-30 value in eight-cat formats, two rounds better than his production for the season. Of course, it helps when a 58.9 percent foul shooter makes 69.4 percent of his attempts, as Antetokounmpo has since the break.

Trent was a late addition to the injury report, with the Bucks listing him as questionable following pregame shootaround. He’s officially available to play and can provide deep-league value as the Bucks continue to play without the suspended Bobby Portis.

Initially probable for Saturday’s game, Antetokounmpo and Lillard have officially been upgraded to available. They’ll take on their usual responsibilities as starters, while Giannis may once again be limited to 32 minutes as he continues to work his way back from a strained calf.

Trent Jr. popping up as questionable merely hours before game-time is never a good sign. It’s unclear what illness the 26-year-old shooting guard is battling, but his questionable listing gives him a legitimate chance of missing Saturday’s game against the Mavericks. Trent Jr. only has deep league fantasy appeal when available playing with the Bucks’ second unit.

Jaquez Jr. sprained his ankle on a drive to the basket in Friday’s game against the Pacers. His doubtful listing makes it seem like his ankle hasn’t responded well enough so far and he’s likely to miss Sunday’s game against the Knicks. With Andrew Wiggins also doubtful with an ankle injury, Duncan Robinson is likely to move into the starting lineup and he would have streaming value.

Wiggins missed Friday’s game against the Pacers and seems poised to be out again Sunday against the Knicks. Jaime Jaquez Jr. injured his ankle making a spot start for Wiggins Friday. With Jaquez Jr. also doubtful for Sunday, Duncan Robinson could move into the starting lineup and would be worth streaming.

Adebayo played through a calf injury for the second straight game Friday. The 27-year-old center was just three rebounds and three assists shy of a triple-double. Adebayo has provided fifth-round fantasy value on the season.

Robinson stepped up with Andrew Wiggins out Friday. The 30-year-old shooting guard came off the bench and was highly efficient as he made 8-of-10 shots from the field including four 3-pointers. Robinson isn’t an every week fantasy starter, but he’s a good bet to provide points and threes when the Heat are missing a key player or two.

Herro has scored at least 24 points in four of his last five games. The 25-year-old point guard wasn’t exactly efficient, but got there on volume as he took 25 shot attempts Friday. Herro has excelled with Jimmy Butler away from the team all season long and has only taken that up a notch since the trade deadline. He’s been a top-25 player in fantasy since Butler was traded to the Warriors.

Jaquez suffered what appeared to be a rather severe sprain of his right ankle on a drive to the basket during Friday’s game. The good news is that the X-rays were negative, but the second-year wing is done for the night. Alec Burks may be in line for more rotation minutes if Jaquez misses time, but the veteran guard offers limited fantasy upside. Also, Andrew Wiggins’ absence pushed Jaquez into the starting lineup for Friday’s game, so he would be first in line moving forward.

The Heat are without Andrew Wiggins for Friday’s game, as he will not play due to a sprained right ankle. Jaquez, who has provided minimal fantasy value this season, will move into the starting lineup. The promotion gives him a chance to achieve fantasy relevance, but Duncan Robinson may be a safer bet despite coming off the bench.

Wiggins will miss Friday’s game with a right ankle sprain. The 30-year-old small forward is likely to be replaced in the starting lineup by either Duncan Robinson or Jaime Jaquez Jr. Both Robinson and Jaquez Jr. are worthy of streaming consideration Friday.

Adebayo played through a calf injury Wednesday against Atlanta and is set to do it again Friday against the Pacers. The 27-year-old center had 20 points and nine rebounds in 35 minutes against the Hawks in his last game. Adebayo appears set to go once again without restrictions.

Saturday’s game will be the third Connaughton has missed with a strained left calf. His continued absence does not impact fantasy basketball, especially with Gary Trent Jr., AJ Green and Kevin Porter Jr. available to play.

Antetokounmpo and Lillard have been managing their calf and hamstring injuries recently and have not been forced to miss time. That should be the case on Saturday, especially with both being considered probable to play.

To make room for Nance’s roster spot, Milwaukee waived Liam Robbins. Nance was on a two-way deal with the 76ers earlier in the season but was waived a few weeks prior to this. He’ll likely spend most of his time in the G-League.

Lopez finished behind only Giannis Antetokounmpo for the team lead in scoring and field-goal attempts. He made only seven of his 16 shots, but he got to the line with ease and cashed seven of eight from the charity stripe. Lopez finishes February with a scoring average just north of 15 points per game. He’ll look to carry that momentum into Saturday’s tilt with Dallas’ skeleton crew frontcourt.

Antetokounmpo logged 32 minutes for the third-straight game, and this was easily his best performance since returning from the All-Star break. Though he continues to nurse a calf injury, Antetokounmpo is clearly getting back to game speed, as evidenced by his dominant showing against Nikola Jokic and company. The Bucks’ next game is Saturday against a depleted Mavericks frontcourt, and Giannis could be in line for another huge showing.
MIL • Forward • #34

As expected, Giannis will be good to go. Antetokounmpo has been on a minutes restriction, but that has been bumped up to allow him to play 32 minutes in each of Milwaukee’s last two games. Even if he is slightly limited, it won’t prevent him from turning in his usual dominant numbers.

Wiggins played through a jaw injury on Wednesday, but now he is on the injury because of a right ankle sprain. If he is forced to miss this matchup, Duncan Robinson, who scored 24 points on Wednesday, will have a good chance of replacing Wiggins in the starting lineup. Jaime Jaquez Jr. will be another candidate for more minutes.

Adebayo played through this calf injury against Atlanta on Wednesday, but there is a chance that it keeps him sidelined on Friday. Kel’el Ware will likely see a boost in usage and minutes if that happens, while Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love will be among the candidates to replace Adebayo in the starting unit. Anderson started in Bam’s most recent absence.

While Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo did what was expected of them in Miami’s 131-109 victory, the Heat also received solid production from Robinson and Davion Mitchell (20 points, six assists, two steals, and five three-pointers). Robinson shooting 6-of-13 from three isn’t stunning, but the six assists were the most he’s had in a game since January 17 (seven vs. Denver). However, this performance doesn’t change much for Robinson’s fantasy outlook, as he has been ranked well outside the top 150 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Unless you need a three-point specialist who can provide added assist value every so often, there’s no need to add Robinson after Wednesday’s effort.

Initially questionable for Wednesday’s game with a calf injury, Adebayo played 35 minutes and was largely effective in Miami’s win over the Hawks. And he had help, as Kel’el Ware added 12 points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and two three-pointers in 29 minutes. While the lineup change made on January 21 hasn’t boosted Adebayo’s fantasy value significantly, he’s managed to maintain fifth-round value in eight-cat formats.

Mitchell was sensational on Wednesday, as he was impactful on both ends of the floor. “Off Night” harassing Trae Young into a subpar performance is unsurprising, but that can’t be said for his offensive output. Mitchell matched his season-high with 20 points and his career-high with five three-pointers. Rostered in four percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top 100 player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Even with Wednesday’s performance, Mitchell certainly isn’t a must-add player, but that may change if he can tighten his grip on a place in the starting lineup.

After the Hawks (Dyson Daniels) limited him to 11 points on Wednesday, Herro was far better in Wednesday’s rematch. He’s scored 24 or more points in four of his last five outings, including two 40-point games. Miami solving the Jimmy Butler situation appears to have boosted Herro, who has been a top-25 player in eight-cat formats since the trade deadline. The Heat finish Week 17 with home games against the Pacers and Knicks.

Initially a game-time decision, Adebayo is available for Wednesday’s game and will start. He’s joined in the lineup by Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins and Kel’el Ware, as expected.

Antetokounmpo has not missed a game since returning from a strained calf, but his minutes have been restricted. The limit was increased to 32 minutes ahead of Milwaukee’s last two contests, so Giannis is closing in on being allowed to play starters’ minutes.

Connaughton has missed Milwaukee’s last two games with a strained calf, and Thursday’s absence will push the unfortunate streak to three. His absence will not impact fantasy basketball, as the veteran wing has been on the back end of the Bucks’ rotation when healthy.

Wiggins and Ware were initially probable for Wednesday’s game, so the status upgrades were expected. They’ll take on their usual places within the Heat starting lineup and should be slotted into fantasy lineups.
