Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (foot) hasn't played since February 23 due to a foot injury but has received a questionable tag for their game against the Houston Rockets on Friday. According to Shams Charania, he has a chance to return but there isn't a firm decision on his status just yet. He did travel with the team while they left for a three-game road trip against Houston, Indiana, and Atlanta. If he's unable to return on Friday, his chances are higher to come back against the Pacers on Sunday. Whenever he returns, that would take away from Duncan Robinson's minutes.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) will play against Philadelphia on Thursday. He missed the morning shootaround for personal reasons, but unfortunately for the 76ers, Butler will be ready to play. The Heat star will look to take his team another step closer to sealing a playoff berth. Miami has won four straight games with Butler in the lineup, although his personal numbers have been underwhelming. Butler has averaged 14.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 6.0 assists, with minimal defensive stats during the winning stretch.

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) did not participate in shootaround, but he's likely to play in Thursday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Even though Butler missed the session for personal reasons, he's expected to rejoin the Heat in time for Thursday's contest. Following a 30-point effort on March 20, the 34-year-old All-Star is averaging just 14.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 0.6 threes on 27.3% shooting from downtown over his past five games for the Heat. If available, Butler will still be a set-and-forget fantasy play against his former Sixers team.
