Miami Heat

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) will play on Thursday versus Milwaukee. The 25-year-old is averaging 24.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 40.7% shooting from behind the arc, all the highest marks of his career. Even better, he has appeared in 41 games, missing his first game of the 2024-25 campaign on Tuesday against the Trail Blazers. With Jimmy Butler (suspension) out again, Herro could see an uptick in scoring. The same can be said for Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic, Bam Adebayo, and Kel'el Ware.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (groin) has been listed as probable for Thursday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team expects to get its top scorer back in the lineup after Herro missed his first game of the season on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Terry Rozier had a quiet nine-point, three-assist outing as Herro's replacement in the starting unit on Tuesday. Herro makes a timely return, as Miami is once again going to be without Jimmy Butler (suspension) and will need as much firepower as possible against Giannis Antetokounmpo and his crew. This season's first clash against the Bucks did not go according to plan for Herro, who settled for 18 points on 4-for-15 shooting in a 106-103 loss on Nov. 26.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler will sit out the rest of the week. Sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Wednesday that Miami plans to suspend Butler for two more games for missing the team's flight to Milwaukee. Miami faces the Bucks on Thursday and visits the Nets on Saturday. Butler only recently returned from a seven-game team suspension for "multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team." Nikola Jovic went on a bit of a tear with Butler out of the lineup. Jaime Jaquez Jr.'s fantasy stock also receives a boost due to his absence.
