Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was among four players ejected following a scuffle in a matchup between the Heat and New Orleans on Friday. The scuffle started after Zion Williamson stole the ball from Butler, and Kevin Love grabbed Williamson to avoid giving up an easy basket. Butler was having a spectacular game before being tossed early in the fourth quarter. He racked up 23 points, nine rebounds, six assists, three steals, and one block in 27 minutes. The altercation could result in fines or suspensions. Miami is scheduled to return to action on Monday versus Sacramento.
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) is available ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. That is great news for fantasy managers after Herro was listed as questionable coming into this game. He should be asked to play a bigger role in the rotation with Terry Rozier (knee) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) both sidelined. Herro is looking like a strong DFS option for Friday's slate. Fantasy managers in season-long formats should make sure to get Herro in there.
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) is officially listed as a game-time decision Friday before the team's matchup against the Pelicans. Jimmy Butler (personal) returns for the Heat tonight, likely taking over Herro's spot in the starting lineup from their last game if Herro is out. In the event Herro is sidelined, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Duncan Robinson are primed for increased minutes. Herro has been averaging 21.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in 33.7 minutes per game this season.
Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (shoulder) has been listed on the injury report as available despite his shoulder sprain. The 29-year-old has been a mainstay on the injury report lately, but he has played through any pain as he appeared in the team's last five games which included starting in both games of a back-to-back. Since he's more of a specialist, his fantasy value is truly utilized in deeper leagues. He currently sits inside the top 145 and has been one of the healthier players on the team after missing only five games so far this year. Robinson may get a bit more time in this matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans since Terry Rozier (knee) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) are both out and Tyler Herro (foot) remains questionable.
Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) is questionable ahead of Friday's matchup with the Pelicans. The sharpshooter logged 38 minutes against the 76ers over a week ago, Miami's last game before the All-Star break. However, he's dealing with right foot discomfort, which could be enough to keep him off the floor. With Josh Richardson (shoulder) and Terry Rozier (knee) out, Duncan Robinson (shoulder) could take Herro's spot in the starting lineup. There's also a chance for the newly signed Delon Wright to get involved, although he's a risky fantasy option.
