Agbaji exited Friday’s game after playing just one minute because of this ankle injury, and it will keep him out once again. Both Ja’Kobe Walter and Jamal Shead played 20+ minutes off the bench with Agbaji sidelined for most of the game, and that should continue on Sunday.

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.

Quickley has had at least 20 points in five of his last eight games. The 25-year-old point guard has a varied skill set and can put up numbers in all offensive categories. No longer on a minutes restriction, Quickley can be a valuable fantasy asset heading into the fantasy playoffs, though availability has been a concern over the course of his career.

Barnes returned from a one-game absence due to a hip injury and had an excellent game. The 23-year-old small forward filled up the stat sheet, contributing in every category. Barnes was just two rebounds and four assists shy of a triple-double. He’s been a top-40 fantasy player on the season, which is lower than his preseason ADP of 19, but still solid.

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.

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.

Poeltl returned to the Raptors lineup after missing seven games with a hip pointer, and his minutes were restricted. The injury may have factored in Myles Turner punishing the Raptors from beyond the arc, as he made all five attempts on the night. The Raptors play twice more during Week 17 without a back-to-back, so availability may not be an issue for Poeltl. However, with the team six games out of the last play-in spot, there may be little motivation to increase the seven-footer’s minutes.

With Scottie Barnes ruled out, Agbaji made his first start since February 11 on Wednesday. While the final stat line wasn’t all that impressive, this was his first double-digit scoring effort since the Raptors’ final game before the All-Star break. Agbaji is among the players to watch in Toronto as the season winds down, as his playing time will likely increase if the front office decides to pull the plug. There’s no need to roster Agbaji, but adding him to deep-league watchlists is fine.
