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.

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.

Sarr’s fantasy value has not been great recently, with the rookie ranking as a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. He’s been even worse in nine-cat, as the 2.8 turnovers per game have been problematic. Sarr committed four turnovers on Sunday, limiting his fantasy value in nine-cat formats. He and the Wizards play four games during Week 23, and the rookie should certainly be rostered in active leagues.

Carrington had a rough night from beyond the arc, making just one of his eight attempts. Those struggles negatively impacted his overall field-goal percentage, but the rookie did record six assists without committing a turnover. While Jordan Poole (15/2/5 with two three-pointers) continues to start, Carrington’s place in the lineup is secure, and he’s playing heavy 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.
