Ready to play Monday Butler (hip) was removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact After missing consecutive games due to left hip tightness, Butler was back at practice Sunday as a full participant and looks ready to go as the Heat kick off a three-game week with a home date against Portland. Given the brevity of his absence, Butler isn't expected to face any major restrictions in his return. Max Strus will presumably head to the bench to clear room in the starting five for Butler.

Lifted from injury report Jovic (nose) was removed from the Heat's injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Impact The rookie looks like he'll be good to go for the start of Miami's three-game week after he wasn't available for Friday's 101-99 loss to the Pacers due to a nasal contusion. Jokic hadn't been part of the Heat's rotation in the previous two games before sitting out Friday.

Not playing Monday Yurtseven (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact The 24-year-old center is still awaiting his 2022-23 debut while he recovers from the left ankle impingement. Even once he's able to play, Yurtseven may not be a part of head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation so long as Bam Adebayo and Dewayne Dedmon are available.

Takes court for practice Butler (hip) took part in practice Sunday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact After missing the last two games due to left hip tightness, Butler looks as though he might have a chance at making it back for Monday's matchup with the Trail Blazers. The 33-year-old is having a strong start to the season with averages of 21.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.5 steals over 35.5 minutes per contest, but durability remains a concern for Butler. He hasn't played more than 60 games in a season since 2018-19.
NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Still sidelined Monday Oladipo (knee) won't play Monday against the Trail Blazers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Oladipo has yet to make his season debut while he continues to work his way back from the left knee injury. With no reports that Oladipo has resumed practicing fully, he's likely to miss time beyond Monday's contest.
NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Monday Herro is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a left ankle sprain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact The Heat will likely check back in on Herro at their morning shootaround Monday before updating his status for the matchup with Portland. Herro has scored 25-plus points in three of his last four games, but his offense could drop off if Jimmy Butler (hip) is able to put an end to his two-game absence Monday.

More solid bench production Vincent closed with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three rebounds and three steals in 26 minutes during Friday's 101-99 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Vincent scored nine of his 15 points from beyond the arc and has now finished with 10 or more points in two straight games off the bench. The 6-2 guard averaged 6.9 point and 0.6 steals over his first eight games of the 2022-23 campaign, so his recent shift in play could be worth monitoring for prospective fantasy managers. However, it's worth noting that Vincent averaged 4.8 points during the 2020-21 season (50 games) and 8.7 points during the 2021-22 season (68 games).

Tallies third double-double Adebayo racked up 18 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 101-99 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Adebayo recorded his second double-double in as many games, continuing to score with efficiency while contributing in the assists category. The veteran center's rebounding numbers have been slightly down through his first 10 contests of the 2022-23 campaign (8.4) compared to a season ago (10.1 boards in 56 games), but he has been strong in nearly every other category for fantasy managers.
NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Strong shooting from three Strus recorded 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals over 40 minutes during Friday's 101-99 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Strus has unsurprisingly been firing up attempts at a high rate from beyond the arc early on this season, as he averaged 6.5 attempts per contest over 68 games a year ago. He shot with efficiency from three Friday night, but he's just 24-for-73 through his first 10 matchups of the 2022-23 campaign. Strus figures to turn things around soon after hitting 41.0 percent of his attempts from downtown a year ago.
NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Stays hot in Indiana Herro totaled 29 points (8-20 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 38 minutes during Friday's 101-99 loss to the Pacers.
Impact Herro put together another strong offensive performance despite a less than impressive shooting performance. He needed 20 attempts from the field and nine from the charity stripe to reach 29 points. It was reassuring to see Herro find his teammates for buckets, as he had been held to just one assist over his last three contests leading up to Friday.
