Another quiet scoring night Adebayo finished with 13 points (4-14 FG, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 101-99 victory over Philadelphia.

Impact The 25-year-old center has scored more than 20 points only once in his last six games, shooting just 44.3 percent from the floor over that stretch -- an unusual downturn for a player who averaged 21.6 points a night while shooting 54.7 percent in January. Adebayo is too talented, and has too big a role with the Heat, for the swoon to last much longer, but he might be worth fading in DFS until his scoring touch returns.

Scores 19 against Nets Adebayo totaled 19 points (6-14 FG, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 112-108 loss to Denver.

Impact Adebayo didn't have his best shooting performance and struggled from the floor a bit, but he ended up posting a decent stat line thanks to his contributions in other categories despite that lack of efficiency. Adebayo also snapped a streak of six straight games with nine or more rebounds, but he remains a strong two-way threat for Miami on a game-to-game basis.

Cleared to play Adebayo (knee) will play Monday against Denver, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Adebayo emerged from Saturday's win over the Magic with some soreness in his knee, but he was initially listed as probable, so his availability was never in much doubt. In a season marred by a multitude of star players missing significant time, the big man has sat out only five games -- the most recent of which came back on Jan. 10 against Oklahoma City.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Probable Monday Adebayo (bilateral knee soreness) is probable to play Monday versus the Nuggets.

Impact Adebayo's knees are feeling a little sore after he logged 43 minutes on Saturday, but given his probable tag, it looks like he'll be fine for Monday's game. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on Adebayo's status closer to Monday's tip-off.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles with six dimes Adebayo amassed 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 43 minutes during Saturday's 107-103 overtime win over the Magic.

Impact Adebayo made up for the lackluster scoring output by turning in his best rebounding mark of the campaign while offering better-than-usual contributions in the assists and steals columns. Though Adebayo took more of a back seat on the offensive end behind Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent on Saturday, that typically hasn't been the case of late. Dating back to the start of the new year, Adebayo is averaging 22.2 points on 15.9 field-goal attempts per game over 19 appearances.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 20 with nine boards Adebayo racked up 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 97-95 win over the Rockets.

Impact Adebayo was impressive Friday and finished just one rebound away from recording a double-double for the second game in a row. The star big man has been on a tear of late and is averaging 22.7 points with 9.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Erupts for 38 in win Adebayo notched 38 points (12-16 FG, 14-14 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 victory over the Pacers.

Impact The huge performance ties Adebayo's season scoring high, a mark he set Nov. 25 against the Wizards. The 25-year-old center has hit for at least 30 points in three of the last seven games, averaging 24.4 points, 9.3 boards, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals over that stretch while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor and 82.7 percent from the free-throw line.

Dishes season-high eight dimes Adebayo closed Saturday's 123-115 loss to the Bucks with 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 36 minutes.

Impact Adebayo had a solid night overall, scoring eight points in each half while leading the team in both rebounds (11) and assists (eight) on the night.

Adebayo did, however, shoot below 50 percent from the field Saturday for the first time in his last eight games as the Heat lost their second in a row on the road.
