Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol so he will not suit up against the Washington Wizards on Friday. Robinson has only missed one other game due to the concussion, and his next chance to play will be against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. While he's out, Haywood Highsmith, Caleb Martin, and Josh Richardson should all continue to see extra opportunities. In their last game, Highsmith joined the starting five, but Martin and Richardson saw more minutes and opportunities. Those two would likely be better streaming options for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Miami Heat forward Duncan Robinson (concussion) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game versus the Sacramento Kings. The reeling Heat placed Robinson in the concussion protocol on Tuesday after he exited Monday's loss to the Phoenix Suns following four minutes of play. The 29-year-old marksman's next opportunity to return arrives on Friday against the Washington Wizards. More playing time will be available for Jaime Jaquez Jr., Caleb Martin, and Josh Richardson against the Kings on Wednesday.

Miami Heat guard Duncan Robinson (illness) won't return to Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Robinson was only able to play in four minutes of action before being forced to exit due to an illness. The expectation is that this is a minor issue and that Robinson will be able to play on Wednesday. In the meantime, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Josh Richardson, and Caleb Martin should all see expanded roles in the rotation. Between the trio, Jaquez is the best streaming choice if Robinson is forced to miss more time.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier has been cleared to make his team debut on Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The Heat swung a trade for Rozier with the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday to improve their slow-paced, lackluster offense, and the newcomer will be available to play on Wednesday. It's fair to expect Rozier to immediately step into Miami's starting lineup alongside Tyler Herro in the backcourt, but it could take some time for him to get acclimated to his new surroundings. There's some risk in DFS, with Wednesday's tilt sporting the lowest implied point total (213.5) on the slate, but Rozier belongs in all season-long lineups while yielding early-round fantasy numbers on averages of 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, 2.8 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals during 35.5 minutes across 30 games.

The Charlotte Hornets are trading guard Terry Rozier to the Miami Heat for a 2027 first-round pick and Kyle Lowry. After bowing out of the Damian Lillard sweepstakes this past offseason, the Heat resort to a contingency plan of sorts to bolster their offense ahead of February's trade deadline. Rozier's presence will offer a secondary ball handler and shot creator to Miami, who rank in the bottom 10 of the NBA in points per game (110.9) and field-goal percentage (46.4%). The 29-year-old combo guard was putting together an All-Star-caliber season in Charlotte with LaMelo Ball missing so much time this year, producing third-round fantasy value on averages of 23.2 points, 6.6 assists, 2.8 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals in 35.5 minutes over 30 games. Rozier's counting stats are in line to decrease a bit on a contending squad in South Beach, but his career-high 45.9% field-goal shooting is sustainable alongside his star teammates.
