Highsmith has been a solid rotation piece for the Heat in recent seasons and will now head to Brooklyn in what appears to be a cost-cutting move for Miami. Highsmith underwent knee surgery earlier this month and is set to be sidelined until October. If the Nets keep him around, he may not be available for the start of the season.

According to the Heat, Highsmith suffered a torn right meniscus while training in his hometown of Baltimore. With the team’s timeline, the wing may be available in time for the start of the regular season, but that isn’t guaranteed. Highsmith has not been a consistently impactful fantasy asset with the Heat, but he’s been able to earn rotation minutes.

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.

While Highsmith has not significantly impacted fantasy basketball, his playing time has recently increased due to Andrew Wiggins’ hamstring injury. If Highsmith cannot play on Saturday, his playing time will likely be absorbed by Duncan Robinson and Kyle Anderson. While Robinson is more of a points and triples specialist, Anderson can offer decent value to deep-league managers punting points.

Highsmith replaced Kel’el Ware in the Heat starting lineup on Monday for matchup reasons, and he did not provide much value beyond the two steals. Meanwhile, Ware played 19 minutes off the bench and finished with 10 points, six rebounds, one steal and one blocked shot. Managers who have Ware rostered should hold onto the rookie, even if Highsmith continues to start. As for Highsmith, there’s no need to add him after his performance on Monday.

Highsmith will once again be available to play. He will continue to occupy his typical significant role off the bench, though he hasn’t contributed much in the box score. However, he has been efficient recently, which has helped him provide top-125 value in nine-cat leagues over the last two weeks.

Haywood hasn’t done much since being moved to the bench and his absence could give Kyle Anderson a chance to log a few extra minutes. Neither player will impact fantasy basketball significantly, though.
