Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (illness) will miss a second straight game while battling a stomach bug that has been circulating in the Heat's locker room. Rozier also missed Wednesday night's loss in Oklahoma City, allowing Davion Mitchell to start alongside Tyler Herro in the backcourt. Mitchell had 14 points, three assists, a steal, and a rebound in his 35 minutes, and he'll likely get plenty of work again on Thursday. Duncan Robinson (illness) will return from his one-game absence, but Mitchell's playing time should be relatively secure since Andrew Wiggins (illness) will join Rozier on the sidelines.

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson missed Wednesday night's loss to Oklahoma City with a stomach bug that is going around the Miami locker room, but he is listed as probable to play on Thursday night when Miami finishes its back-to-back set against the Mavs. With Andrew Wiggins (illness) out and Bam Adebayo (knee) questionable, Robinson could even get more usage than normal if he is up for it. He could also start in Wiggins' place, and in his last 11 games as a starter, he averaged 12.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.8 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes per game. He has some streaming appeal if you need three-pointers headed into the All-Star break.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) has been ruled out of Thursday's game in Dallas against the Mavericks. Wiggins has played two games for Miami since joining the team in the Jimmy Butler trade. He had 13 points, four rebounds, and three assists in Wednesday's loss to Oklahoma City, but he won't be able to play on the second night of the team's back-to-back games as they stop in Dallas. With Wiggins out, Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely pick up much more work while Haywood Highsmith and Pelle Larsson could see increased minutes and usage as well.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (knee) could be forced to miss Miami's final game before the All-Star break since he was listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas. Adebayo has been putting up big numbers with at least 18 points in eight straight games and six double-doubles in his last nine. He had 27 points and 15 boards in 35 minutes against the Thunder on Wednesday, but now he's dealing with a left knee contusion that could sideline him for the second game of the back-to-back. If he's unable to give it a go, Nikola Jovic, Kyle Anderson, and Haywood Highsmith would be set up for more work while Kel'el Ware would have more space to dominate against a banged-up Dallas frontcourt.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (illness) will return after a one-game absence on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. A stomach bug seems to be circulating in the Heat locker room, and Herro was affected by it a few days ago, missing Monday's loss to the Boston Celtics. With Herro back, Davion Mitchell will likely return to a bench role, though he may still get plenty of minutes on the court since Duncan Robinson (illness) and Terry Rozier (illness) will not be active against the Thunder.
