Wiggins wasn’t as lethal offensively as he was in Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies, but he still recorded a line that many category league managers will be pleased with. Over the past month, the Heat forward has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Wiggins is rostered in 56 percent of Yahoo! leagues. While he’s unlikely to be a league-winner, some managers in 10-team leagues will want to consider adding him, especially if lines like the one he recorded on Tuesday can become the norm.

Wiggins was spectacular against the Grizzlies, making all four of his three-point attempts and missing just one shot on the night. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a nice end to Week 17 for the Heat forward. Over the past two weeks, Wiggins has been a top-25 player in nine-cat formats according to Basketball Monster. Having entered the season with an ADP outside the first 100 picks, he has exceeded the expectations of many fantasy managers thus far.

The Heat will already be without a number of key players, and Wiggins’ absence would make the team severely shorthanded. If Wiggins is ultimately ruled out, Simone Fontecchio, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jović will pick up the slack.

This was the second time in his last three games that Wiggins scored exactly 26 points, a number he has only surpassed on two other occasions this season. Wiggins has been solid this season, and his production as of late, poor free throw shooting aside, has been excellent. He was the leading scorer for Miami in this game, though it wasn’t enough to get the win. He’ll look to stay hot in New Orleans on Wednesday.

Back in the Heat lineup after missing Tuesday’s loss to the Hawks, Wiggins’ 26 points were the most he’s scored in a game since dropping 28 in a December 27 win over the Pacers. He has consistently hit double figures, but fantasy managers who have Wiggins rostered are hoping for more nights like Friday, especially with Tyler Herro (ribs) out. He and the Heat end Week 16 on Sunday against the Wizards in what could be a high-scoring affair.

Wiggins is good to go after missing Tuesday’s loss to the Hawks with left hamstring tightness. He’ll occupy his usual place in the Heat starting lineup on Friday, with Simone Fontecchio heading back to the bench.

Wiggins was a late addition to the injury report with left hamstring tightness. The 30-year-old small forward played through the injury Sunday against the Suns, but will miss Tuesday’s tilt with the Hawks. Expect Jaime Jaquez Jr. to see more minutes with Wiggins sidelined.

Wiggins continues to deal with left hamstring tightness, and he’s a late addition to Tuesday’s injury report. He played through the injury on Sunday, but if he’s forced to sit out against Atlanta, Jaime Jaquez Jr. could enjoy an expanded role.

Wiggins is dealing with tightness in his left hamstring, but the probable tag is a good sign regarding his chances of playing in Phoenix. He hasn’t missed a game since November 24. If that changes on Sunday, Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are the most likely options to start if Wiggins can’t play.

While he hasn’t lit up the scoreboard, Wiggins’ consistency has made him a reliable option in category leagues. Over the past two weeks, he’s ranked just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats. Tyler Herro’s absence hasn’t led to a groundswell of scoring opportunities for Wiggins, but that isn’t particularly surprising, given Wiggins’ production throughout the season. The Heat end Week 14 with a game against the Suns on Sunday.

After scoring 18 points in the first half of Monday’s game, Wiggins appeared to be on course for a big night. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Wiggins missed all five of his shot attempts and failed to score after halftime. While Wiggins’ season-long fantasy value has exceeded his Yahoo! ADP (110) by a comfortable margin, consistency can still be an issue on occasion. He’ll look to put together four productive quarters on Tuesday against the Kings.

Wiggins was electric from beyond the arc in this one, knocking down a season-high seven three-pointers, while recording his first 20-point effort since December 27. The 30-year-old veteran has experienced a significant decline in the scoring department this season, averaging just 16 points through 35 games. He got a few additional creation opportunities with top scorer Norman Powell missing this contest with a back issue. The Heat kick off a busy three-game week on Tuesday against the Suns before facing the Celtics and Thunder to close it out.

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.
