Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (back) continues to deal with back spasms and has been ruled out for the team's Monday night contest against the Boston Celtics. He was able to play in their last two games but only registered 13 and nine minutes respectively. With Love out of the rotation, it shouldn't cause that many waves, but Haywood Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez Jr. might see some extra minutes at power forward.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (foot) has officially been deemed available for the team's Monday night matchup against the Boston Celtics. He's dealing with a neuroma in his foot which is a swollen nerve or group of nerves in the ball of the foot. So, it becomes more of a pain tolerance issue as he continues to play on it. Unfortunately, Rozier is averaging some of his lowest numbers since the 2018-19 season which has rendered him useful in deeper leagues, but not much in 12 or fewer team leagues.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) was expected to play on Saturday, according to head coach Steve Kerr, but they needed to let him go through a warm-up first. After his warm-up routine was closely monitored by the team, he was cleared to play against the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. Stephen Curry (knee) was also upgraded from questionable to available, so the only rotational player ruled out remains De'Anthony Melton. Wiggins will likely remain in the starting five and can be started as usual in any fantasy format.

Jovic started the first eight games of the season for the Miami Heat before sliding to a bench role for his next six games. He has missed the Heat's last three games after sustaining an ankle injury last Sunday against the Mavericks. In the three games he has missed, Duncan Robinson has averaged over 30 minutes a game while producing 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists. Haywood Highsmith has also played extra minutes in the last two games, producing solid counting stats. Kevin Love had eight points, two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 13 minutes in his return. Love was listed as available to play Sunday as well and can be a punt play along with Highsmith in DFS contests.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) is questionable heading into Saturday's contest versus the Phoenix Suns. The veteran is playing much better than he did last season, averaging 17.4 points and shooting a career-high 41.0% from behind the arc. With Stephen Curry (knees) in danger of missing Saturday's meeting, Wiggins could see more scoring opportunities, assuming he can play. If not, Buddy Hield, Brandin Podziemski, and Jonathan Kuminga (illness) may spend more time on the floor, even more so if Curry remains sidelined.
