Miami Heat

New York Knicks guard/forward Alec Burks (shoulder) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus Toronto. There was initially hope of him returning when the team listed him as questionable for the game, but Burks has now been downgraded to out. Burks' absence leaves the Knicks without a good scoring option off the bench. He's averaged around 15 minutes a night in the Big Apple, and Bojan Bogdanovic will have a chance to get some extra action off the Knicks bench without Burks.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) missed shootaround on Tuesday morning, but he's probable to play versus the Golden State Warriors. Dealing with a non-COVID illness, Butler is still expected to play in a good spot against a Warriors defense giving up the ninth-most DraftKings points to opposing small forwards. Across 13 appearances since the All-Star Break, the 34-year-old two-way superstar is pouring in 21.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.7 swipes, and 0.9 three-pointers per contest. With Tyler Herro (foot) still on the shelf, Butler will continue absorbing additional usage and playmaking responsibilities and remains a set-and-forget fantasy option across all formats.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) will miss a 15th consecutive game on Tuesday versus the Warriors. Miami's young star has missed a month of action with a right foot injury and doesn't have a clear return date, but Herro is expected to undergo a re-evaluation soon. With Duncan Robinson also out, Patty Mills has landed a job as a starter in the Heat backcourt, averaging 8.0 points, 2.7 assists, and 1.3 steals in the role. He hasn't done a lot but could be more productive on Tuesday in a pace-up spot for Miami.

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) is nearing a return and has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Warriors. The veteran has missed 13 games on the bounce with a right heel injury, last appearing for Miami on Feb. 27. Love will likely push Thomas Bryant near the end of the bench again, and Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith might also lose a few minutes. The five-time All-Star doesn't play a lot these days, but Love has been effective when on the court, averaging 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 17.5 minutes.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) will play on Sunday against the Cavaliers. He wasn't available when these two clubs met on Wednesday because of back spasms. However, the 26-year-old returned after a one-game absence on Friday versus the New Orleans Pelicans, finishing with a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double with two blocks. With Duncan Robinson (back) and Tyler Herro (foot) still out, Adebayo should get a few extra looks at the basket. Unfortunately, Evan Mobley (ankle) could be back from a nine-game layoff, so his presence might lower Adebayo's fantasy ceiling.
