Miami Heat DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) is suffering from back spasms and has been listed as questionable for Monday's contest with the Philadelphia 76ers. The dynamic big man has only missed two games this year, so he has a better chance to play than most when they get a questionable tag. The Heat are also only three games back from the seventh seed, which would make the play-in tournament a lot easier than the tenth seed. If Adebayo is sidelined, Kel'el Ware should be a very popular streaming option and DFS play. The rookie has put together a solid season, and when he receives between 30 to 39 minutes, he averages 15.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (thigh) won't play on Saturday versus the Bucks. Herro recently had 35 points and nine rebounds in Thursday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately, he will miss Saturday's contest because of a thigh contusion. Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is also out, so Kel'el Ware, Bam Adebayo, Duncan Robinson, and Davion Mitchell are the favorites to lead the way offensively.

Anthony Chiang of the Miami Heraldreports that Miami Heat guardDavion Mitchell (illness) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. Mitchell is a late addition to the injury report due to a stomach ailment that will keep him off the floor for tonight's contest. The 26-year-old has played at least 30 minutes in eight of Miami's last nine contests. With Andrew Wiggins(hamstring) andDuncan Robinson(back)also out of action, Terry Rozier could see an uptick in minutes.

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Miami Heat guard/forward,Alec Burks (back), is available to suit up against the Washington Wizards on Monday. Burks will play despite dealing with a lingering back issue. The 33-year-old guard has been averaging 20.0 minutes, 16 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.7 assists per contest in the last three games. This evening, he could see extra scoring opportunities with Davion Mitchell (illness) potentially sidelined with a stomach ailment.
