Miami Heat forward Kevin Love (heel) has been given a questionable status for their matchup with the Utah Jazz on Saturday night. The veteran big man is dealing with a heel issue and wasn't able to play in their last game on Thursday. Love hasn't been seeing enough time to garner fantasy interest across most leagues. This year has been his lowest mark for minutes per game at 17.5 and he's been averaging just 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. So, if he's unable to suit up, it shouldn't affect that many players' minutes in this game. Caleb Martin and Jaime Jaquez Jr. could both be solid streaming options if need be though.
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) has officially been tagged as questionable for their Saturday game against the Utah Jazz. The star combo guard has missed the team's last three games in a row while he deals with medial tendinitis in his right foot. Herro has already missed 20 games so far this year, so he won't be eligible for regular season awards, but the Heat are still fighting to avoid a play-in game to get into the playoffs. They currently sit at the eighth seed in the East, so they'll likely have him play as long as his foot isn't too bothersome. If he misses another game, however, Duncan Robinson would most likely remain in the starting five but would make a risky streaming option.
Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson will remain in the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It was initially reported that Delon Wright would move into the starting five on Thursday. The team has decided to make a last second change and will start Robinson instead. Wright figures to absorb the primary backup guard minutes behind Robinson. However, he won't be a great streaming option with Robinson ahead of him during Thursday's contest. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups ahead of tip-off.
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (knee) has been ruled out for a third consecutive contest. He was initially considered questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Nuggets, but the team has now officially ruled him out. Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson are the main beneficiaries of Herro's absence, while Delon Wright will also get extra opportunities. However, with Denver playing at a snail's pace, managers shouldn't expect big fantasy lines from the game.
Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) won't be available for Thursday's matchup against Denver. This will mark his sixth straight absence. He was ruled out for several weeks with a dislocated shoulder on Feb. 12. It's a pretty tricky injury to overcome, and there haven't been any updates on Richardson's progression. His next opportunity to play comes on Saturday versus Utah, but fantasy managers certainly shouldn't bet on him returning.
