MIA • Center-Forward • #13

Bam didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but fantasy managers should be encouraged by him getting up 19 shots. Tyler Herro’s return to the rotation has not negatively affected Adebayo’s opportunities, as he has remained aggressive on the offensive end. The seven shot attempts in Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies were the fewest in a game for Bam since early November. As long as he remains assertive on offense, Adebayo managers should not have too much to worry about.

While his streak of games with at least 20 points ended at three, Adebayo shot the ball well from the field and produced a solid overall stat line. If there’s a concern, it’s what the Heat rotation will look like now that Tyler Herro has returned from a rib injury. Bam still got up 14 shots on the night, one shy of the team high. Hopefully, Adebayo will remain an offensive focal point for the Heat once Herro can take on starters’ minutes.

While his season-long value has not met the expectations of most fantasy managers, Adebayo goes into the All-Star break on a high note. He scored at least 20 points in 11 of his last 13 games, recording eight double-doubles. During this run, Adebayo was a third-round player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The Heat complete their Week 17 with two games after the All-Star break, starting with the Hawks on February 20.

Adebayo didn’t have an efficient night shooting the ball, but he was able to record a 20-point double-double for the seventh time in 2026. His five-game streak with at least one steal came to a close, and this was also his eighth straight game without a block. Despite being one of the best defenders in the league, Adebayo hasn’t contributed as much on that end for fantasy managers this season. Miami’s final game before the All-Star break will be in New Orleans on Wednesday.

With the Heat rolling to a 132-101 victory, Adebayo only needed to play 28 minutes on Sunday. After going on a run of eight consecutive games with at least 20 points, he entered Sunday having totaled 32 on 9-of-29 shooting in the last two. When you need to get right, it never hurts to run into one of the worst teams in the NBA. Adebayo and the Heat play four games in Week 17, starting with the Jazz on Monday.

Adebayo is good to go after being listed as probable initially. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting center, with Kel’el Ware remaining with the reserves.

Adebayo is dealing with tightness in his right hip, but the probable tag suggests that he’ll be available on Sunday. If not, the Heat would likely turn to Kel’el Ware to fill the void. While he has been inconsistent this season, Ware would be worth slotting into lineups if allowed to start.

After an eight-game stretch in which he averaged 23.4 points per game, Adebayo has cooled off some in Miami’s last two games. He’s scored 16 points in back-to-back games, shooting 9-of-29 from the field. While he has still been a top-50 player over the past three weeks, the last two games have been a bit of a letdown, given what fantasy managers saw from Bam during that eight-game run.

One night removed from losing to the Bulls, Adebayo and the Heat impressively returned the favor. The Heat captain only played 22 minutes in the 132-91 victory, but that was enough time for him to provide fantasy managers with a solid stat line. Adebayo and the Heat play three games in Week 16, starting with the Hawks on Tuesday. The question for Miami is how active they’ll be at the trade deadline, especially with Tyler Herro (ribs) still sidelined.

Adebayo shook off an ice-cold stretch to put together an impressive 15-point fourth quarter where he knocked down 6-of-10 shots from the floor, sparking the Heat to a massive comeback effort that came up just short. The 28-year-old big man has delivered his usual blend of scoring and rebounding for fantasy purposes, averaging 18.1 points and 9.8 boards through 42 games. The Heat have a three-game week on tap including matchups against the Hawks, Celtics and Wizards.

Adebayo has been on a roll since the Heat’s January 13 win over the Suns. A 20-point scorer in nine of his last ten outings, the 6-foot-9 center has provided top-20 per-game value in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks, according to Basketball Monster. This is the version of Adebayo that many fantasy managers hoped to get at the beginning of the season. The Heat end Week 15 with a home back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday against the Bulls.

Adebayo logged a fairly balanced performance in Wednesday’s loss. He recorded at least 20 points for the fifth straight game, while also securing double-digit rebounds for the third time during that stretch. Adebayo’s passing was also exceptional against the Magic, leading to a new season-high in assists. Add in his four three-pointers, and you get one of his most well-rounded performances in quite some time. He’ll have a chance to extend his streak of 20-point games to six when the Heat face the Bulls on Thursday.

Adebayo scored at least 22 points in each of the final four games of Miami’s five-game west coast swing, picking up the slack to help account for the absences of Tyler Herro and Kel’el Ware. Over the past two weeks, the Heat captain has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats. After a slow start to the season, Adebayo is providing the value that fantasy managers hoped to get from him immediately. The Heat play four games in Week 15, but they won’t play their first until Wednesday.

Miami’s January 19 loss to the Warriors may have been the low point for Adebayo, who shot 1-of-13 from the field that night. He’s scored at least 25 points in each of the three games since, posting a double-double in each of the last two. Over the past two weeks, Adebayo has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats, even with that poor showing against the Warriors. Miami ends its Week 14 slate on Sunday in Phoenix.

Adebayo has been awesome on offense recently, outside of the game against the Warriors last Saturday. Over his last six games, he has scored at least 20 points in five of those and is averaging 23.7 points, 8.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 steals and three triples per game. He set a new season high for scoring in this one and will look to stay hot against Utah on Saturday.

Adebayo stepped up for the Heat Tuesday in a game where the team was without Tyler Herro (ribs) and Kel’el Ware (hamstring). The 28-year-old center led the team with 25 points against the Kings. Adebayo has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Heat have two more games this week, including road matchups with the Trail Blazers and the Jazz.

Adebayo was a difference-maker in a back-and-forth tilt that came down to the wire, knocking down a couple clutch shots in the closing moments of the fourth quarter. He also drained a pair of free throws inside the final minute to slash Miami’s deficit to a single point before teammate Andrew Wiggins nailed the go-ahead jumper. The 28-year-old big man has been on a roll of late, topping 20 points in three straight games after failing to accomplish the feat in his previous 11 contests. The Heat are on the road for a jam-packed five-game week that features showdowns against the Warriors, Kings, Trail Blazers, Jazz and Suns.

Adebayo’s 29 points were a game-high. The 28-year-old center was incredibly efficient, taking only 15 attempts from the field, going 3-of-4 from the foul line and 4-of-6 from behind the three-point line. It was his first game with at least 20 points since December 15, nearly a full month ago. Adebayo will look to have another good game Thursday against the Celtics.

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.

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 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.
