Philadelphia 76ers forward Justin Edwards (ribs) has been given a questionable tag for their Monday night matchup with the Miami Heat due to a rib contusion. The rookie has been a popular addition in fantasy basketball leagues and DFS lineups down the stretch as he's received more and more playing time. In fact, for the month of March, he averaged 14.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game. With that being said, Lonnie Walker IV and Jalen Hood-Schifino would be the top streaming options if Edwards can't suit up. Against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Walker posted 18 points, five assists, and three rebounds while Hood-Schifino had seven points, two assists, and one rebound.


Detroit Pistons forward Tobias Harris (heel) is in danger of missing his third consecutive game after picking up a questionable status for Monday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran has been suffering from some soreness in his left heel. The Pistons have already clinched a playoff berth, so they're likely going to be a bit cautious with only four games remaining on their schedule. If Harris is forced to miss another game, Dennis Schroder and Ausar Thompson should both continue to see a bump in usage. Malik Beasley should also keep seeing big minutes off the bench. Thompson has the highest fantasy ceiling of the three as displayed by his last game, where he posted 18 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block.


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.
