MIA • Center-Forward • #13

Saturday night was rough for Adebayo and the Heat, who never led against the Pacers. While effective as a rebounder, the Heat captain didn’t offer much value otherwise. This season hasn’t been what many fantasy managers hoped it would be for Bam, as he’s ranked outside the top-50 in per-game value. Adebayo and the Heat will look to redeem themselves on Sunday against the Thunder.

Adebayo is once again on the Heat injury report with a sore lower back, but the good news is that he’s considered probable for Sunday night. He should take on his usual responsibilities as part of the Heat starting lineup.

Adebayo is still managing soreness in his lower back, but it isn’t expected to keep him out of the lineup. He should occupy his typical workload after contributing 15 points and 14 rebounds in his last game.

While the Heat only grabbed six more rebounds than the Pistons, their starting frontcourt combined to corral 11 offensive rebounds. Adebayo and Kel’El Ware (5/13/0/2/2) were responsible for three offensive rebounds apiece, while Andrew Wiggins grabbed five. Bam’s double-double was his second in as many games after missing two games with a back injury. The Heat head home for their final two games of Week 11, a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back.

Back in the Heat lineup after a two-game absence with a back injury, Adebayo was under a minutes restriction on Monday. Between that and Miami taking control of the action with a 47-point third quarter, he only played 21 minutes. The good news for fantasy managers was that Adebayo still recorded a double-double with four assists. The Heat play three games in the final four days of Week 11, so don’t be surprised if Bam gets an injury management night at some point.

Adebayo is back after missing the last two games with a back injury. As a result of his return, Pelle Larsson will come off the bench, which lowers his fantasy ceiling. Ware continuing to start is good news for those who have him rostered, but his usage may take a hit with Adebayo in the lineup.

Adebayo will start after a two-game absence due to a back injury. Pelle Larsson will likely return to the bench with Adebayo back in the fold. Kel’el Ware will likely continue to start, though his usage takes a minor hit with Bam returning.

Adebayo is expected to be back following a two-game absence. Pelle Larsson has started the last two games in his stead but will likely return to the bench with Adebayo back in the lineup. Kel’el Ware should continue to start, but he may take a production hit.

Adebayo is set to miss another game with lower back tightness. Kel’el Ware will continue to see a bump in usage while Pelle Larsson started and had 21 points in Friday’s win over the Hawks.

Adebayo was initially doubtful for Friday’s game, so the downgrade in status was expected. Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are potential replacements, with the latter offering a slightly higher ceiling, especially in category leagues.

Adebayo has been downgraded after initially being listed as questionable for this game. Kel’el Ware has been starting recently and will see a bump in minutes and production with Adebayo unavailable. Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are candidates to fill the open starting spot, though Jaquez should play a large role regardless.

Adebayo is dealing with lower back tightness, casting some doubt on his availability for Friday’s game. If he can’t go, Kel’el Ware would be the lone post player on the floor. The second-year center has flourished recently, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

There’s an old expression about symbolically burying the game film instead of re-watching it. That might be applicable in this scenario for the Heat after they shot just 40 percent from the floor, including 8-of-30 from three-point range, and committed 17 turnovers in an ugly loss where they scored just 91 points. Adebayo collected double-digit rebounds for the fourth time in his last five games but was held to just nine points.

Adebayo, who notched his tenth double-double of the season on Monday, has increased his scoring output recently. He’s scored at least 19 points in five of his last six outings, including four games with at least 20. Unfortunately, Adebayo has also shot 68.2 percent from the foul line during this stretch, which has negatively impacted his fantasy value. Remove the subpar foul shooting, and Bam has been a top-40 player over the past two weeks.

Adebayo has taken major strides as a shooter this season, but that hasn’t been the case over Miami’s last two games. After being held to nine points in Saturday’s loss to the Kings, Adebayo failed to hit a three-pointer for the second straight game. The only other time he didn’t hit a triple this season was against Denver; he exited that game after playing just eight minutes. Adebayo is having an excellent year, but he’ll need to get back on track to help Miami snap this four-game losing streak.

Adebayo was one of three Heat players to score at least 20 points on Wednesday, and he’s met or exceeded that number in consecutive games for the first time since late October. Since returning from a toe injury that sidelined him for six games, the Heat center/forward has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. When Miami is whole, which they weren’t on Wednesday (Norman Powell was out), Bam’s ceiling as a scorer may be lower. However, he’s still capable of providing excellent value given his overall skill set.

Adebayo did a little bit of everything in this game. He matched his season high for rebounds and set a new career high for three-pointers in the blowout win over the Clippers. This was his highest scoring output since October, but he has been a consistent source of offense for Miami. Adebayo has been a big reason for Miami’s success this season, and he’ll look to keep that going in Dallas on Wednesday.

Adebayo has recorded double-doubles in two straight and three of his last four games. With Tyler Herro now in the mix, increased rebounding may be what keeps Bam’s fantasy value where managers hoped it would be before the season began. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-75 player in nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with his Yahoo! ADP (32), and it could be difficult for Adebayo to reach those heights. He’ll look to prove otherwise, starting with Monday’s game against the Clippers.

Adebayo scored at least 17 points for the fifth straight game on Wednesday. He needed only 29 minutes of game action to record double-digit rebounds, which led him to his sixth double-double of the season. The veteran center has produced solid numbers in his return from a toe injury and continues to be one of the Heat’s most relied-upon players. As long as he’s healthy, he’ll remain a productive fantasy basketball player who is a nightly double-double threat.

Adebayo finished Monday’s game as one of four Heat players to score in double figures — despite not shooting well from beyond the arc, he utilized the free-throw line to find his scoring production. The veteran forward’s shooting has been inconsistent since returning from injury on November 19th, but he has consistently hovered around 20 points on a nightly basis. His rebounding has also been uneven as Kel’el Ware has dominated the glass recently. Adebayo should start to round back into for the further removed he is from the toe injury

Adebayo has scored at least 18 points in all three games he’s played since returning from a toe injury, and he recorded his first post-injury double-double on Sunday. Over the past week, he’s been ranked just outside the top-25 in nine-cat formats. Adebayo’s season-long value has not aligned with his Yahoo! ADP (32), but he isn’t far away. The Heat play three games during Week 6, starting with the Mavericks on Monday.

Adebayo returned from a two-week absence with a toe injury against the Warriors on Wednesday and had 20 points in 29 minutes. The 28-year-old center had 18 points in 29 minutes in the Heat’s route of the Bulls on Friday. Adebayo is showing no ill effects in the two games since returning from his injury. The Heat will be back in action against the 76ers on Sunday.

Adebayo missed two weeks and six games with a toe injury before returning to the Heat’s lineup on Wednesday. The 28-year-old center played 29 minutes and had a great game with 20 points and a complete stat line. Adebayo’s return pushed Kal’el Ware to the bench, though he still played 19 minutes as well.

The Heat have only made one change to their starting lineup, but it’s a big one. Adebayo is back after a six-game absence, and his return pushes Kel’el Ware to the bench. Ware will still play plenty, but he has a slightly lower fantasy ceiling when used in a reserve role.

After six games on the shelf, Adebayo will play on Wednesday. His return impacts Kel’el Ware the most, as the second-year center will likely return to the bench. Managers who have Ware on their rosters must hold onto him, as he’ll have solid value whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Adebayo has missed six straight games, but he has a chance to return for Wednesday’s tilt with Golden State. Kel’el Ware has started six straight in Adebayo’s place, averaging 12.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 blocked shots in that span. Ware’s fantasy value will take a hit when Adebayo returns, though the former is still worth rostering in standard leagues. Ware is averaging just north of 24 minutes per game, and he has standalone value thanks to his scoring, rebounding and defensive contributions.

No surprise here as Adebayo has missed the last five games with a toe injury. The fact that he traveled with the team on a recent road trip and practiced with them on Sunday is encouraging, though it’s still unclear when he might be ready to return to the court. Kel’El Ware will continue to start in Adebayo’s place.

This will be the fifth missed game in a row for Adebayo, who is dealing with a sprained toe. He was seen without a boot earlier in the week, so it seems like his return is close, but it won’t be in New York on Friday. Kel’el Ware will get another start in his place, but he could have a tough night if Mitchell Robinson suits up for New York. If Robinson is out with his own injury management, then Ware should have a strong showing against Karl Anthony Towns in the paint.
