Miami Heat

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (knee) is not ready to play on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans, but he practiced on Thursday without a brace on his sprained right knee. Monday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings marks Rozier's next opportunity to return. Covering his last three games, Duncan Robinson is averaging 19.3 points, 4.7 three-pointers on 60.9% shooting from deep, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals in 30.6 minutes and is worth streaming on Friday.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) will return on Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Butler was unavailable for Miami's last three games to mourn the loss of a family member but is back for Friday's action. A top-10 Pelicans defense presents a difficult draw for Butler, but the two-way superstar is averaging 22.2 points while 57.5% shooting from the field, 6.2 rebounds, 4.8 dimes, 1.8 steals, and 1.3 treys across his past 13 games.

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (shoulder) exited Sunday's meeting with the Boston Celtics and didn't return. Unfortunately, the Heat didn't receive a positive update on his health, with The Athletic's Shams Charania reporting he suffered a dislocated right shoulder. The 30-year-old appeared in 43 games for Miami this season, averaging 9.9 points and shooting 34.7% from deep. While those numbers aren't terrible, they aren't enough to give him fantasy appeal in most formats. At any rate, Richardson will be re-evaluated in a few weeks. But until he's back in the lineup, Duncan Robinson (shoulder, elbow) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. could see more minutes.

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (elbow/shoulder) returned from his concussion last week but has popped up on the injury report again with a left shoulder/elbow sprain. The silver lining is that he was able to play 32 minutes in their last game, so it could be more of a pain tolerance type of issue. Either way, fantasy managers will have to stay tuned until tipoff approaches to get any further updates on his status. If Robinson does suit up, he'll likely get a heavy dose of minutes with Terry Rozier (knee), Jimmy Butler (personal), and Josh Richardson (shoulder) all ruled out. If he can't play though, Haywood Highsmith could be a quality streaming option for a game or two.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (knee) has been ruled out for their Tuesday night game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He left their last game on Sunday due to a knee sprain and wasn't able to return to the court. Now, he'll miss at least one game while he tends to his knee. That means two big pieces in Rozier and Jimmy Butler (personal) won't be available, so Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo are likely to take on the bulk of the scoring load. In terms of streaming options, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Caleb Martin should both see heavy minutes with the starting five while Duncan Robinson (questionable - shoulder/elbow) will get even more opportunities if he's able to play. There hasn't been a firm timetable for Rozier's return just yet, so it is yet to be reported on the severity of the knee sprain.
