Miami Heat point guard Terry Rozier (knee) will not play against Brooklyn on Monday. He was initially expected to feature in the contest, as the team gave Rozier a probable designation on the injury report, but knee inflammation will keep Rozier sidelined. Miami also won't have Jimmy Butler (illness), so Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo will be expected to carry the offense, with Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. also chipping in. Additionally, Dru Smith also becomes an interesting fantasy target with Rozier out. He's already had a handful of strong performances lately, going for 10-plus points in four of the last five games.
According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Miami Heat forwardJimmy Butler(illness) will miss Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to a stomach illness. This illness also took him out of the Heat's last game on Saturday. With the 35-year-old sidelined, the starting five should stay the same as Saturday. Dru SmithandDuncan Robinsoncould be decent options in deeper fantasy leagues. Smith scored 14 points and four rebounds, while Robinson added 10 points, four rebounds, and three assists against the Magic.
Miami Heat forward Kevin Love (personal) has been listed for personal reasons on the injury report but is considered available for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was unable to play in their last game against the Orlando Magic, so he'll likely slot back into his reserve role where he averages 11.3 minutes per game. He's not recommended as a streaming option, and he will probably take some minutes away from rookie Kel'el Ware.
Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (ankle) appeared on the injury report Monday but is considered available for the matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He's still dealing with a left ankle sprain but is good to go after playing on Saturday. He finished with four points, one rebound, and one steal while shooting 0-for-3 from the floor and 4-for-4 from the free-throw line across 19 minutes. He'll likely remain in the starting five, but isn't recommended as a streaming option in standard leagues.
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to an illness. This illness took him out of their last game on Saturday, so it could cause a two-game absence if he doesn't feel well enough leading up to tip-off. If Butler is unable to play again, the starting five will likely look the same as Saturday which means Dru Smith and Duncan Robinson could be solid streaming options in deeper leagues. Smith finished with 14 points, four rebounds, and four steals while Robinson registered 10 points, four rebounds, three assists, and two threes against the Magic.
