Tyler Herro - Keeps impressive run alive Herro contributed 22 points (7-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to the Magic.
Impact Herro didn't have the most efficient performance from a shooting perspective, but the six-year guard continues to play a pivotal role on offense for Miami. Enjoying an uptick in his usage rate with Jimmy Butler (illness) sidelined, Herro scored at least 20 points for the fifth game in a row. He's also achieved this feat nine times over his previous 11 appearances amid what has been a career-best season for the former Kentucky standout.

Bam Adebayo - Goes for 24 points in loss Saturday Adebayo amassed 24 points (8-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), six rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to Orlando.
Impact Adebayo was one of three Miami players who scored at least 20 points in this game, with Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier being the others. The star big man continues to be extremely consistent on both ends of the court, posting three games with at least 20 points and four double-doubles across his last six appearances. Expect Adebayo to enjoy a slight bump on his fantasy upside if Jimmy Butler (illness) remains sidelined for Monday's game against the Nets.

Terry Rozier - Scores season-high 23 points Rozier notched 23 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to the Magic.
Impact Rozier has had a disappointing season in 2024-25, but this game was a step in the right direction, as the veteran guard surpassed the 20-point plateau for the first time in the campaign. Rozier's struggles this season haven't gone unnoticed. He opened the year in a starting role but hasn't been part of the first unit since Nov. 17, when he had nine points (4-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and four boards across 27 minutes. Furthermore, Rozier was coming off four single-digit scoring efforts in his previous seven outings, so in a way, this 23-point effort almost came out of nowhere.

Jimmy Butler - Won't play Saturday Butler (illness) won't play in Saturday's game against the Magic.

Bam Adebayo - Posts another double-double Adebayo totaled 17 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Friday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Adebayo had to leave the game in the second half after he was elbowed in the face early in the third quarter, which caused a cut above his left eye, but he returned after getting stitches. The star big man didn't look affected by the injury, though, and he finished with an efficient double-double despite the fact the Heat came up short of getting the victory. Adebayo has been on a roll of late with five double-doubles over his last six contests.

Tyler Herro - Posts double-double Herro racked up 28 points (11-24 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder.
Impact The Heat had to spend most of the game without Jimmy Butler (illness) and Bam Adebayo also missed time during the second half due to a cut above his left eye, meaning Herro was forced to carry the team offensively over prolonged stretches. The star guard, who's having a career-best season in 2024-25, delivered and stepped up, though. This was Herro's fourth straight game with at least 20 points, and he's reached that mark in 17 of his 25 appearances this season.
