Good to roll Monday Strus (quad) will be available Monday against the Wizards.

Impact As expected, Strus will play through the bruised quad that kept him out of Saturday's win over Charlotte. With Tyler Herro (knee) out, Strus could be set for a slight bump in minutes.

Expects to play Monday Strus (quadriceps) said after the team shootaround that he expects to play Monday against the Wizards, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Strus was forced to miss Saturday's win over Charlotte due to a bruised right quad, but it sounds like he's trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's matchup with Washington. With Tyler Herro (knee) not expecting to play, Strus could see some increased run in Miami's backcourt if he's ultimately cleared.

Could play Monday Strus (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday's game at Washington.

Impact Strus was unavailable Saturday versus Charlotte due to a bruised right quad, and his availability remains up in the air for Monday. Jimmy Butler (toe), Tyler Herro (knee) and Caleb Martin (Achilles) are also questionable for the Heat.

Questionable Saturday Strus is questionable for Saturday's tilt against the Hornets due to a bruised right quadriceps.

Impact Strus' workload has fluctuated lately, but he continues to be a fantastic three-point shooter, hitting 39.2 percent of his 7.4 attempts per game over the past 10 contests. If he sits out, more minutes could be available for Caleb Martin (Achilles), Duncan Robinson or Gabe Vincent.

Plays 33 minutes off bench Strus posted nine points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and four rebounds in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 loss to the Raptors.

Impact With Jimmy Butler (toe) and P.J. Tucker (knee) back in the starting lineup following one-game absences, Strus was moved back to his usual bench role. While his production was meager compared to his season-high performance Monday, the third-year pro still played 33 minutes. Strus is averaging 11.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.3 minutes per game, but it'll be interesting to see if he can remain fantasy relevant with the Heat slowly returning to full strength.

Explodes for team-high 27 points Strus posted 27 points (9-19 FG, 9-17 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 41 minutes during Monday's 122-92 loss to Boston.

Impact Strus moved into the starting lineup while the Heat were down three of their regular starters for the start of a six-game road trip. As he has done throughout the season, Strus was able to light it up from downtown, falling just one three-pointer shy of matching Duncan Robinson's franchise record. Unfortunately, Strus received little support from his teammates, but while Jimmy Butler (ankle) and Kyle Lowry (personal) are out of the lineup, the 25-year-old should have some value as a streamer for points and three-pointers.

Brown scores 29, Celtics run past shorthanded Heat 122-92

Among starters Monday Strus will start Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact With three usual starters out, the Heat will once again use a new lineup and go with Strus, Gabe Vincent, Duncan Robinson, Caleb Martin and Bam Adebayo. Strus is coming off of an 11-point, four-rebound, three-three-pointer effort in Saturday's triple-OT loss to Toronto.

Inefficient in loss Strus finished with 15 points (6-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 110-108 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Strus came into the contest probable with a right knee contusion but didn't appear to be limited as he scored in double figures for the seventh time in his last eight games. During that stretch, he's averaged 14.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 26.1 minutes. As long as Kyle Lowry (personal) and Tyler Herro (COVID-19) are sidelined, Strus will likely garner enough playing time to make him at least worthy of fantasy consideration -- even if he's operating off the bench.
