Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (neck) did not go through shootaround, and he said he'll be a game-time decision for Tuesday's tilt versus the Atlanta Hawks. Rozier's absence from the morning session means he's on the wrong side of the questionable designation with neck spasms. If the 30-year-old combo guard is ultimately downgraded to out, head coach Erik Spoelstra could turn to Tyler Herro to fill the void in Miami's starting backcourt at the point. Prior to when Rozier joined the team on Jan. 24, Herro averaged 22.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.2 steals, and 3.2 three-pointers as the Heat's primary ball handler across his first 24 games of the year. Herro is going to be a strong DFS play whether Rozier is available or not, as the Hawks are allowing the second-most threes (3.4) to opposing point guards this season.
Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (neck) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Atlanta Hawks. After being a late addition to the injury report before starting in Sunday's narrow road loss to the Indiana Pacers, Rozier remains a question mark due to neck spasms. Should the 30-year-old combo guard be unable to suit up for the Heat, Tyler Herro (foot), who's available on Tuesday, figures to be the most likely choice to reclaim his spot in Miami's starting backcourt at point guard. Before Rozier joined the Heat on Jan. 24, Herro averaged 22.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.2 steals, and 3.2 three-pointers over his first 24 outings of the season. Herro is already a strong fantasy play against Atlanta, who rank 28th in the NBA in points allowed per game (120.3).
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hand) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Dealing with a sprained left hand, Adebayo is expected to play in a soft matchup against a Hawks team that ranks 27th in opponent field-goal percentage (49.3%) in 2023-24. In seven games versus Atlanta since 2022-23, the 26-year-old All-Star big man is banking 23.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.2 steals per contest. Assuming he's active on Tuesday's massive 14-game slate, Adebayo will be an appetizing DFS option at center.
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) will return to action on Friday against Houston. After missing 20 games with a foot problem, Herro received a questionable tag entering Friday, and Miami has now upgraded him to available. Herro could be limited following his long absence, but he's among the Heat's main offensive weapons and should still feature prominently in the game. Herro's return means fewer shots for Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson. The latter will likely have to give up a few minutes of playing time as well.
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) hasn't played since February 23 due to a foot injury but has received a questionable tag for their game against the Houston Rockets on Friday. According to Shams Charania, he has a chance to return but there isn't a firm decision on his status just yet. He did travel with the team while they left for a three-game road trip against Houston, Indiana, and Atlanta. If he's unable to return on Friday, his chances are higher to come back against the Pacers on Sunday. Whenever he returns, that would take away from Duncan Robinson's minutes.
