Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hand) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Dealing with a sprained left hand, Adebayo is expected to play in a soft matchup against a Hawks team that ranks 27th in opponent field-goal percentage (49.3%) in 2023-24. In seven games versus Atlanta since 2022-23, the 26-year-old All-Star big man is banking 23.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.2 steals per contest. Assuming he's active on Tuesday's massive 14-game slate, Adebayo will be an appetizing DFS option at center.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus Utah. He didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Fortunately, Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will return after missing the last six games, which should help lessen the blow caused by Wiggins' absence, even more so with Stephen Curry (rest) getting the night off. Guys like Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski could also surpass their DFS expectations.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) will come out of the lineup on Friday versus Dallas. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. Wiggins was limited to 23 minutes on Thursday against Houston due to a sore left ankle. Golden State completes a back-to-back, so it makes sense to give Wiggins a bit of rest. Jonathan Kuminga (knee) appears to be trending toward playing on Friday and should pick up most of Wiggins' minutes. The team also hopes to have Gary Payton II (ankle) available, and his presence would also help Golden State to cope with Wiggins' absence.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) will return to action on Friday against Houston. After missing 20 games with a foot problem, Herro received a questionable tag entering Friday, and Miami has now upgraded him to available. Herro could be limited following his long absence, but he's among the Heat's main offensive weapons and should still feature prominently in the game. Herro's return means fewer shots for Terry Rozier and Duncan Robinson. The latter will likely have to give up a few minutes of playing time as well.

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (ankle) received a questionable tag on Friday while he deals with ankle soreness. The veteran wing hasn't enjoyed the same success this year as he has in recent seasons, but he still gets enough playing time to warrant spot starts in various league formats and even some DFS lineups. If he has to miss a game and Jonathan Kuminga (knee) also doesn't play, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Brandin Podziemski, and Moses Moody will all receive big minutes. Even if Kuminga does play while Wiggins is sidelined, all three should still see plenty of opportunities.
