Modest production in win Strus accumulated eight points (3-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 123-100 win over the Kings.
Impact Strus drew the start ahead of a healthy Duncan Robinson, but despite being relatively aggressive, he failed to score in double figures for a third consecutive game. The third-year wing continues to play a sporadic role for the Heat this season, but when he's hot, he can pop for sizable production at any time. Across 14 contests in March, Strus has scored in double figures seven times -- including a 21-point performance -- but has also been held scoreless three times.

Draws rare start Strus is starting Monday's game against the Kings, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Strus will make his first start since March 3 in place of Duncan Robinson, who will surprisingly come off the bench Monday evening. Strus has scored in double figures in back-to-back games.

Connects on three triples Friday Strus posted 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound and three assists in 30 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 111-103 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Strus hit three triples in the loss, scoring in double figures for the first time in over a week. It's been a strong season for Strus, having carved out a nice role off the bench. With Duncan Robinson struggling for much of the campaign, Strus has given the Heat another reliable three-point threat. However, he offers very little else on most nights, so he should be viewed as nothing more than a streaming option for managers requiring some perimeter contributions.

Staying Ready Is The Key For Miami Heat's Max Strus Despite a limited role, Strus continues to be effective when called upon
MARCH 16, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Hits four triples in win Strus ended with 16 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and three rebounds in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 105-98 victory over the Pistons.
Impact Strus has now hit 14 combined triples over his past three games, creeping into the streaming discussion for those in 12-team formats. Jimmy Butler was unable to finish the game due to an ankle injury suffered in the second quarter. If he is forced to miss time, Strus could see a few extra minutes moving forward. With that being said, the Heat only have one more game this week, so chances are you can find a more reliable option on the wire.

Posts 19 points from bench Strus registered 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 31 minutes during Saturday's 113-104 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Strus' output usually gets a moderate boost when Jimmy Butler (toe) is absent, and Saturday was no exception, as the forward drilled five threes for the second-straight game. Strus carries a lot of volatility as a fantasy candidate due to his limited opportunity, but he's an excellent streaming option when Miami gets the injury bug.

Drills five triples Friday Strus finished with 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-11 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 19 minutes Friday in the Heat's 117-105 win over the Cavaliers.
Impact The absence of Caleb Martin (knee) allowed Strus to draw back into the rotation after he had been relegated mostly to garbage-time use over the past two contests. Martin's status is iffy for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, but with Victor Oladipo (rest) out for the second half of the back-to-back set, Strus should be in store for double-digit minutes off the bench. Despite Strus' well-rounded stat line Friday, fantasy managers should view him mostly as a streaming option for three-pointers.

Bumped out of rotation Strus accrued no statistics across three minutes of court time in Monday's 123-106 win over the Rockets.
Impact Strus had turned in solid averages of 12.8 points, 3.5 three-pointers, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.0 minutes per game over the Heat's previous four contests, but he found himself out of the rotation Monday with Kyle Lowry (personal) back from a four-game absence and with Victor Oladipo (knee) gaining clearance for his season debut. Gabe Vincent and Strus were hurt most by the two returning players, as neither checked into the game until garbage time. In more competitive contests, Vincent and Strus don't look like they'll play at all, so long as all of the Heat's other key guards and wings are healthy and available.

Available vs. 76ers Strus (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers. He will come off the bench.
Impact Strus continues to be a reliable three-point shooter for Miami. Across the past 11 games, he's averaging 8.0 points per game on 39.1 percent shooting from distance.

Considered questionable Saturday Strus (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game against Philadelphia, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.
Impact Strus drew the start in Thursday's win over the Nets and logged 21 points, five rebounds, a block and a steal in 36 minutes. If he's able to play through his right shoulder sprain Saturday, his role is dependent on the status of Jimmy Butler (toe).

Excels in spot start Strus registered 21 points (6-12 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Thursday's 113-107 win over Brooklyn.
Impact Strus started for the first time since Jan. 31 and made the most of the opportunity, as he reached the 20-point mark for the first time since that aforementioned date. There's no question the former DePaul standout can make things happen offensively when given enough minutes, but the inconsistency of his role conspire against his upside.

Good to go Thursday Strus (shoulder) is available Thursday against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact A sprained right shoulder won't prevent Strus from playing Thursday. Since the start of February, he's averaged 6.7 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 20.7 minutes.
