Five of Wiggins’ seven rebounds were on the offensive end of the floor, the second time in three games that he’s accomplished that feat. However, what will stand out to fantasy managers is the 17 points, as Wiggins has met or exceeded that number in four straight appearances. Rostered in 56 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-40 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Managers competing in 10-team leagues may want to consider adding Wiggins, especially with Tyler Herro (toe) still out.

Wiggins eclipsed the 20-point barrier for the first time since December 1, scoring 18 points in the second-half as Miami shot 58 percent from the floor (31-of-53) to score 83 points over the final two quarters. The 30-year-old has contributed seventh-round fantasy value this season, averaging 16.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks over 28 games.

Wiggins is good to go after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Celtics. His return will push Kel’el Ware to the bench, but the second-year center should be rostered whether he starts or not.

Wiggins did not play in Friday’s loss to the Celtics, leading to Kel’el Ware moving into the starting lineup. Ware should remain in the starting lineup if Wiggins can’t go on Sunday, and that raises the second-year center’s fantasy ceiling considerably.

Wiggins will miss the second night of this back-to-back for Miami due to lower back pain. Simone Fontecchio should replace him in the starting lineup, with Jaime Jaquez Jr. set to take on an even larger role.

Wiggins popped up on the injury report Friday afternoon with lower back pain. The 30-year-old small forward’s availability is legitimately up in the air given his questionable listing. With Tyler Herro (toe) already ruled out, Wiggins is in line for solid usage if he’s cleared to play.

After shooting 4-of-11 from the field in his first game back from a hip injury, Wiggins looked much sharper on Saturday. Shooting nearly 67 percent from the field, he recorded his first 30-point game of the season, and there was also value to be had in the rebound, assist and steals categories. With Tyler Herro and Norman Powell in the fold, Wiggins’ rest-of-season fantasy value may take a hit. However, he’s still providing top-100 value, so managers in 12-team leagues should look to sell high if possible. The Heat play four games in Week 7, starting with the Clippers on Monday.

Wiggins is back after missing the last three games with a left hip flexor injury. He’ll likely be in the starting lineup, with Kel’el Ware moving to the bench. Ware will get the minutes needed to provide solid fantasy value, so do not even consider dropping him.

Given how things are trending, the Heat should be as close to full strength as they’ve been this season for the final game before Thanksgiving. Wiggins has missed the last three games, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Kel’el Ware. The second-year center will likely be bumped to the bench if Wiggins plays. As for Jović, he’ll provide additional depth off the bench but is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball in that role.

Wiggins has missed the last three games with a left hip flexor injury. If he remains out against the Bucks on Wednesday, Kel’el Ware will continue to start. If Wiggins is back, the Heat could be at full strength for the first time this season with Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, Wiggins and likely Norman Powell (groin) in the starting lineup.

Wiggins is set to miss his third consecutive game with a left hip flexor injury. The 30-year-old forward’s absence will likely lead to another start for Kel’el Ware, who has already started 13 games this season. Ware should be rostered in most formats at this point.

Wiggins missed Friday’s game against the Bulls with Kel’el Ware moving into the starting lineup. The 30-year-old small forward is dealing with a left hip flexor injury. Wiggins’ absence is likely more good news for fantasy managers that have Ware, who should continue to start.

It’s been reported that Wiggins’ injury won’t linger, so there’s a chance he’s back on Sunday against the 76ers. With Tyler Herro (ankle) also not returning until Monday, that should mean continued high usage for Jaime Jaques Jr. and extra minutes for Simone Fontecchio and maybe Pelle Larsson as well.

One game after securing a game-winning dunk, Wiggins logged another efficient scoring performance in the rematch against the Cavaliers. He had similar shooting efficiency and production from the three-point line in both games, but lacked the free-throw volume this time around. The veteran wing had one of his better rebounding performances of the season on Wednesday while also notching a season-high in assists along the way. Overall, he finished with solid numbers from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Based on his Yahoo! ADP of 11o, Wiggins was expected to provide late-round value in 12-team leagues this season. He’s been better than that so far, sitting within the top-75 in nine-cat formats. He made the game’s biggest play in Monday’s overtime thriller, slamming home an alley-oop pass from Nikola Jović as time expired to give Miami the win. The Heat not having Tyler Herro or Bam Adebayo gives Wiggins more room to work out of necessity, and he’s answered the call more often than not so far.

For the first time this season, Wiggins has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. A top-50 player over the last week, the Heat forward has been a seventh-round player in nine-cat formats this season. His short-term value will be impacted by the availability of Norman Powell and Jaime Jaquez Jr., who both suffered sprained ankles during Friday’s victory. Add Bam Adebayo’s foot injury, and this is a good time to have Wiggins on your fantasy roster.

After an inefficient 15-point effort against the Lakers on Sunday, Wiggins rebounded with a solid offensive showing against the Clippers. He shot over 50 percent from the field and recorded a complete stat line in the 120-119 victory. However, the production was limited outside of points and three-pointers. The good news for fantasy managers is that Wiggins’ output has been respectable outside of free-throw percentage, as he’s making just 57.9 percent of his attempts. Remove that category from the equation, and Wggins is a top-100 player.

Wiggins’ two-game streak of scoring at least 20 points came to an end against the Lakers, as the former first-overall pick struggled with his shooting on Sunday, especially from beyond the arc. In addition to his struggles from the field, he was unable to get others involved, as seen by his low assist total. The end result was an unspectacular fantasy performance that likely underwhelmed, considering the scoring and overall offensive opportunities that presented themselves with Norman Powell (groin) and Tyler Herro (foot) out of the lineup.

Through the season’s first four games, Wiggins could not fully take advantage of Tyler Herro’s absence from the Heat lineup. While he was shooting 50 percent from the field, that was on a career-low 11 attempts per game. On Thursday, Wiggins took a season-high 18 shots and made over half his attempts. Of course, Miami has also been without Norman Powell for the last two games, and Wiggins has totaled 33 shot attempts. His opportunities will likely decrease once Powell and Herro return, but the Heat need Wiggins to be consistently aggressive until that time comes.

While Wiggins is shooting 50 percent from the field thus far, his fantasy value has languished due to a low free-throw percentage and limited production outside of points and rebounds. Those weren’t issues on Tuesday, as he recorded his first 20-point game of the season along with four defensive contributions. Wiggins’ role isn’t a problem for fantasy managers, as he will be in the starting lineup. However, the inconsistent production is, and that explains why he’s available in more than half of Yahoo! leagues.

Miami’s starters struggled on Monday, with many returning to action after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Magic. Wiggins has not looked his best during the preseason, but the starting role and potential make him worth selecting in standard league drafts. The hope is that having a full offseason in Miami after being traded midseason will result in a more comfortable Wiggins. And he’ll need to be that kind of player to start, as the Heat are unlikely to have Tyler Herro (ankle) after he underwent surgery just before training camp.

Wiggins started off this game poorly and entered halftime without any points. He was better after the break, but the damage was already done at that point. This was a poor series for Wiggins to close out a strange year for him. He started off the season with Golden State but was sent to Miami as part of the Jimmy Butler deal. Wiggins is under contract for two more seasons, and unless he is used to match salaries, he will likely remain with the Heat, unless he chooses to opt out after next season.

After scoring 20 points in Wednesday’s play-in win over the Bulls, Wiggins added 20 more on Friday and also approached triple-double territory. He may not have been the star that the Heat were hoping to bring back in exchange for Jimmy Butler, but he fits in well with this team and will help them be dangerous in the first round of the playoffs against the Cavaliers. That series will begin on Sunday.

Wiggins was impactful on both ends of the floor, supplementing Tyler Herro’s 38-point effort with 20 of his own while recording a complete stat line. Since joining the Heat, Wiggins shot nearly 46 percent from the field on 14.8 attempts per game, averaging 19.0 points. While those numbers are solid, the Heat will need more from him to extend their season. Miami visits Atlanta on Friday, with the winner advancing to face one-seed Cleveland in the first round of the playoffs.

Miami already knows its seed and opponent for next week’s play-in tournament, so there isn’t anything at stake for Sunday’s regular-season finale. Wiggins and Larsson will rest up for next week’s matchup with the Bulls, as will multiple Heat rotation players. Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are absent from the injury report, so they should log extended minutes on Sunday.

Wiggins has missed Miami’s last four games with a hamstring injury, and he said it has been a lingering issue. He did not have a specific date for a return, so Wiggins may not be of much service to fantasy managers whose leagues are active through Week 23. Miami plays four games, starting with the 76ers on Monday, and Pelle Larsson should remain in the starting lineup until Wiggins is cleared. Larsson finished Saturday’s loss with three points (1-of-8 FGs), four rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in 39 minutes.

Wiggins’ continued absence has opened up a spot in the starting lineup, while Love’s has not significantly impacted fantasy basketball. Pelle Larsson has replaced Wiggins in the starting lineup, and the rookie is worth streaming in deep leagues. Haywood Highsmith’s playing time has increased off the bench, but Larsson is the player who deep-league managers should be targeting.

While Love’s continued absence does not significantly impact fantasy basketball or the Heat rotation, that is not true for Wiggins. His absence has resulted in more playing time for Pelle Larsson, who has started Miami’s last three games, and Haywood Highsmith. Larsson is the superior streaming option for managers seeking more offensive value.
