Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) will sit out for the 19th consecutive game as he ramps up his work at practice to eventually return from medial tendinitis in his right foot. Herro's last game played was on February 23 and he's now missed 38 games this year. The Heat are still in contention for the sixth seed as they hover just half of a game back from the Indiana Pacers and one and a half games ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers. Herro was seen taking shots at practice last week and his return doesn't seem too far away. Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic will remain in the starting lineup while Herro is sidelined.

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (back) is listed as probable for Tuesday's battle against the New York Knicks. The sharpshooter missed five games due to Left Facet Syndrome before returning on Sunday versus the Washington Wizards. Unfortunately, he struggled in that one, scoring six points while draining just two of his seven tries from downtown. With that said, Robinson logged 28 minutes, and with a game under his belt to shake off the rust caused by the five-game absence, he has an excellent chance to bounce back for DFS managers on Tuesday evening.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's clash with the New York Knicks. Despite dealing with a left knee contusion, Rozier is expected to play in a battle between the Association's two slowest-paced offenses in terms of possessions per game after dropping 27 points with five threes and four steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's road win over the Washington Wizards. The 30-year-old combo guard is starting to get more comfortable in Miami digs, averaging 18.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.7 three-pointers over his past nine games. Although Rozier should not be benched in season-long leagues with Tyler Herro (foot) still unavailable for the fantasy finals, the Knicks are holding opposing point guards to the fewest DraftKings points per game in 2023-24.

Miami Heat guard/forward Duncan Robinson (back) has been cleared to return to action on Sunday against Washington. The 29-year-old sharpshooter will be back on the court after missing five games. Robinson has carried a heavy burden for Miami in recent months and could get a big workload again on Sunday, with Tyler Herro (foot), Caleb Martin (ankle), and Josh Richardson (shoulder) out of the lineup. It's a very favorable matchup against a team that allows a league-high 123.0 points per game.

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (heel) will end a month-long absence on Friday against the Trail Blazers. The Heat big man injured his right heel in a game against Portland on Feb. 27 and has been out for 14 contests. Love's return is set to push Thomas Bryant out of the rotation, with Nikola Jovic and Haywood Highsmith also in danger of losing minutes. The former All-Star has averaged 9.0 points and 6.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes during his 16th NBA campaign.
