Andrew Wiggins DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) has been ruled out of Thursday's game in Dallas against the Mavericks. Wiggins has played two games for Miami since joining the team in the Jimmy Butler trade. He had 13 points, four rebounds, and three assists in Wednesday's loss to Oklahoma City, but he won't be able to play on the second night of the team's back-to-back games as they stop in Dallas. With Wiggins out, Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely pick up much more work while Haywood Highsmith and Pelle Larsson could see increased minutes and usage as well.

Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins is not on the injury report on Monday, suggesting he is ready to make his team debut against the Boston Celtics. Kyle Anderson, who came over from Golden State alongside him in the Jimmy Butler trade, will also be available to make his first Heat appearance. Wiggins should remain a regular starter in Miami and may get to play a big role right away on Monday night, as the Heat's top scorer, Tyler Herro (illness), has been ruled out for the game.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Warriors are trading forward Andrew Wiggins to the Heat in a multi-team deal that will also send Jimmy Butler to Golden State. The 2014 No. 1 overall pick had a rough season in 2023-24. However, he's turned things around this season, averaging 17.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. It's unknown how head coach Erik Spoelstra will use Wiggins. But even if he doesn't start, he will likely take minutes away from Jaime Jaquez Jr., Haywood Highsmith, and Nikola Jovic. With that in mind, Wiggins might see a dip in production, especially with Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro in the equation.
