Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Miami Heat guard Alec Burks (back) has been upgraded from questionable to available ahead of Monday's tip-off against the Philadelphia 76ers. The veteran has been dealing with a back issue but is ready to make his 11th consecutive appearance. Burks was outstanding on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 24 points. However, his offensive role will be much smaller on Monday night as Tyler Herro (thigh) will return to the lineup. For the month, Burks has averaged 12.0 points in 23.3 minutes per game.

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Miami Heat centerBam Adebayo(back) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Adebayo has only missed two games all season, but a back issue will keep him out on Monday. With the big man out of action, 20-year-old center Kel'el Ware could be a DFS option for this evening. The rookie Ware has put together a decent 2024-25 campaign, averaging 9.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 22.0 minutes per contest across 60 games.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) will be out for a sixth consecutive game on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. There was a chance Wiggins would return on Monday when the team initially listed him as questionable on the injury report. However, he has now been ruled out for the contest. Wiggins' next chance to return will be on Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra mentioned that Wiggins is "very close" to returning, so we should see him before the regular season draws to a close. Pelle Larsson has rolled as a starter during Wiggins' absence, with Duncan Robinson and Kyle Anderson receiving more minutes off the bench.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (thigh) will return to action on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Herro's status has been upgraded from questionable to available. He is ready to rejoin the fun after missing Saturday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a thigh contusion. Herro has been on fire for the past couple of weeks and figures to carry a larger offensive role in Monday's game, as Bam Adebayo (back) has been ruled out. The team also remains without Andrew Wiggins (hamstring).

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (thigh) has been listed as questionable ahead of Monday's tip-off against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right thigh contusion. He has played some heavy minutes this season, as he averages more than 37 minutes per game so far in April, including 10 games this season with 40 or more minutes. If he's sidelined for this one, against a tanking team, Pelle Larson and Duncan Robinson should both see added minutes like they did in their overtime loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Larson could be the sneaky DFS play, but presents a lot more risk than Robinson. In that game against the Bucks, Robinson posted 16 points, three assists, and two rebounds.
