Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Miami Heat forward Haywood Highsmith (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Utah. He's in danger of missing a second consecutive contest, although Highsmith wasn't on the injury report for Thursday's meeting with Denver. He was added to the report with a left knee effusion on Friday. Highsmith's absence leaves more minutes available to Nikola Jovic and Caleb Martin (thumb). The latter had the better performance coming off the bench on Thursday and is a much more reliable fantasy option than Jovic, although Martin is also questionable for Saturday's game.

Miami Heat forward Kevin Love (heel) has been given a questionable status for their matchup with the Utah Jazz on Saturday night. The veteran big man is dealing with a heel issue and wasn't able to play in their last game on Thursday. Love hasn't been seeing enough time to garner fantasy interest across most leagues. This year has been his lowest mark for minutes per game at 17.5 and he's been averaging just 9.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game. So, if he's unable to suit up, it shouldn't affect that many players' minutes in this game. Caleb Martin and Jaime Jaquez Jr. could both be solid streaming options if need be though.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) has officially been tagged as questionable for their Saturday game against the Utah Jazz. The star combo guard has missed the team's last three games in a row while he deals with medial tendinitis in his right foot. Herro has already missed 20 games so far this year, so he won't be eligible for regular season awards, but the Heat are still fighting to avoid a play-in game to get into the playoffs. They currently sit at the eighth seed in the East, so they'll likely have him play as long as his foot isn't too bothersome. If he misses another game, however, Duncan Robinson would most likely remain in the starting five but would make a risky streaming option.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (knee) has been listed as doubtful on Friday while he suffers from a left knee sprain. The 30-year-old wasn't able to play in their last game either and it looks like his inactive streak will at least stretch to two games. Anderson's playing time has dwindled this season which has led to his contributions not amounting to that much fantasy relevance. He currently averages 6.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.3 turnovers per game. While he sits out against the Sacramento Kings, fantasy managers can expect Jaden McDaniels to see more opportunities with the starting five while Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker both see over 20 minutes off of the bench.

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson will remain in the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. It was initially reported that Delon Wright would move into the starting five on Thursday. The team has decided to make a last second change and will start Robinson instead. Wright figures to absorb the primary backup guard minutes behind Robinson. However, he won't be a great streaming option with Robinson ahead of him during Thursday's contest. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups ahead of tip-off.
