Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro(knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. Herro may sit out due to a left knee contusion. He was on the floor for a significant amount of time on Monday, playing 49 minutes in an overtime loss to Sacramento. If the 24-year-old cannot go, it will be a massive loss for the Heat, with Jimmy Butler (suspension) already missing in action as he continues to serve his suspension. Fantasy managers should expect Terry Rozier,Duncan RobinsonandJaime Jaquez to take on extra minutes.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is listed as probable for Saturday night's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Wiggins is dealing with right hamstring tightness that landed him on the injury report Thursday, though he was able to play through it and scored 15 points against Philadelphia. With Curry already ruled out, Wiggins becomes an intriguing fantasy option. In his last game against Memphis the 29-year-old was able to score 19 points and went four-for-five from three, though the Warriors got blown out by 51 that game. That stat line was put up in just 20 minutes of play. If Golden State is able to keep it close then Wiggins will be a fantastic fantasy option in all formats.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Miami Heat would like to trade forward Jimmy Butler "as soon as possible." The multi-time All-Star is away from the team while serving a seven-game suspension. However, even if he's not moved before his suspension is over, it's likely he has already played his final game in Miami. Butler has already informed the team that he wants to be dealt elsewhere, and as of a few weeks ago, he preferred a trade to Phoenix or Golden State. Yet, there are several challenges in either scenario from a financial aspect. There's also a recent report from The Athletic indicating the Warriors aren't interested, especially since Butler is looking for a max contract moving forward. While there was once a time when Butler was considered an MVP-caliber performer, that's no longer the case, with the 35-year-old averaging 17.6 points, his lowest since the 2013-14 campaign. At any rate, there's a good chance he'll land somewhere before his suspension is over. But fantasy managers should consider any trade offer for Butler, considering his injury issues may follow him to his new team.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler has been suspended seven games by the organization on Friday. The Heat have suspended Butler for multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team. Butler has not been shy about airing out his disappointment with the team and his desire to play elsewhere. This is not the first time that Butler has talked his way out of an organization. The superstar forward has a player option for next season, which he's obviously not going to accept if Miami doesn't trade him. That being said, Butler is expected to be traded this season and possibly has already played his last game with the Heat.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler has requested a trade and took to a post-game press conference to tell media members that he wants to get his joy back while playing basketball. ESPN's Shams Charania was the first one to report that Butler wanted out, but he cemented the report after his comments saying he probably couldn't get his joy back in Miami. He's in the final year of his contract and teams have been told that he will decline his option to become a free agent this summer. A report on Christmas Day said that his top destinations are the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets, and Dallas Mavericks.
