Miami Heat

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Richardson has yet to play this season as he continues to deal with multiple injuries. The Heat are calling him day-to-day, but it remains to be seen when Richardson will get on the court again. In the meantime, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Duncan Robinson should see more minutes in the rotation. Richardson is not worth a look in fantasy formats when healthy.

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (personal) will not be in the lineup against the Knicks on Wednesday. Love is dealing with personal issues at the moment and hasn't seen any action so far this season. Thomas Bryant has solidified his spot as the backup center during Love's absence, although he doesn't provide a lot for fantasy managers. Bryant has recorded 5.7 points per game with 2.0 rebounds in 13.7 minutes. Haywood Highsmith is also in a position to play a more prominent role in the rotation, but his production has been very underwhelming.

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (personal) won't play in Monday's contest versus Detroit. The veteran averaged 8.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 34.4% shooting last season. However, he has yet to make his 2024-25 debut due to personal reasons. While Love isn't an everyday fantasy starter for most, his absence may open the door for more minutes for Haywood Highsmith and Thomas Bryant, although neither has done enough to find a spot in any fantasy lineup.
