Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic (ankle) appeared on the injury report Monday but is considered available for the matchup with the Brooklyn Nets. He's still dealing with a left ankle sprain but is good to go after playing on Saturday. He finished with four points, one rebound, and one steal while shooting 0-for-3 from the floor and 4-for-4 from the free-throw line across 19 minutes. He'll likely remain in the starting five, but isn't recommended as a streaming option in standard leagues.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) has been listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets due to an illness. This illness took him out of their last game on Saturday, so it could cause a two-game absence if he doesn't feel well enough leading up to tip-off. If Butler is unable to play again, the starting five will likely look the same as Saturday which means Dru Smith and Duncan Robinson could be solid streaming options in deeper leagues. Smith finished with 14 points, four rebounds, and four steals while Robinson registered 10 points, four rebounds, three assists, and two threes against the Magic.

Due to an illness, Miami Heat forwardJimmy Butler(illness) will not suit up against the Orlando Magic on Saturday. Butler played on Friday against OKC but only seven minutes due to a stomach bug. Saturday's contest will be the sixth game he's missed this season. Tyler Herro, who had 28 points on Friday, should be a lock across all fantasy formats in his absence.Duncan RobinsonandJaime Jaquez Jr. will likely also see more scoring opportunities with Butler out.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (illness) is doubtful for Saturday's encounter with the Orlando Magic. The veteran lasted only seven minutes in Friday's loss to OKC, exiting the contest with the stomach bug. He has already missed five games during the 2024-25 campaign. However, if Butler is sidelined again on Saturday, Tyler Herro, who had 28 points on Friday, would be a lock for all fantasy lineups, with Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez Jr. both in line for additional scoring opportunities, making them both, risky, high-upside streaming options for managers.

Toronto Raptors guard Davion Mitchell (shoulder) will not be available for Thursday's meeting with Brooklyn. The defensive specialist was a late addition to the injury report with a shoulder problem and has been officially ruled out ahead of tip-off. With Toronto battling injuries throughout the campaign, Mitchell has been a significant part of the rotation, averaging 6.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 26.8 minutes. Mitchell's absence will likely boost Jamal Shead's playing time on Thursday. He's coming off a good performance, as Shead recorded 10 points, four rebounds, six assists, and one steal in Monday's 122-121 loss to Chicago.
