Tyler Herro - Leads team to win Wednesday Herro produced a game-high 28 points (10-17 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 115-106 win over the Magic.
Impact With Jimmy Butler (calf) getting the night off, Herro stepped up and led the Heat in scoring in just his second game back from a nearly six-week absence due to an ankle injury. The fifth-year guard has hit for at least 25 points in back-to-back games since his return, and while he's suited up for only 10 contests so far in 2023-24, Herro is averaging career highs in points, assists, steals, field-goal percentage and three-point percentage as he looks to take his game to the next level.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Gets starting nod Jaquez is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Magic.
Impact Jaquez will enter the starting lineup Wednesday with Kevin Love (illness) and Jimmy Butler (calf) out. The rookie forward is averaging 11.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.5 minutes across his previous four starting appearances this season.

Kyle Lowry - Starting Wednesday Lowry will start Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Impact With Jimmy Butler (calf) and Kevin Love (illness) sidelined, Lowry will start and point guard and be joined by Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez, Caleb Martin and Bam Adebayo. Per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, it's Miami's 16th different starting lineup this season.
DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Love - Out Wednesday with stomach illness Love has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Impact Love had been listed as questionable heading into the day with the stomach ailment, but the Heat will opt to hold the veteran big man out Wednesday to afford him more time to recover from the illness. With Love sidelined against Orlando along with Jimmy Butler (calf), the Heat will likely turn to Caleb Martin, Jaime Jaquez, Duncan Robinson and Haywood Highsmith to fill most of the minutes at forward. Meanwhile, Orlando Robinson will likely step in as the top backup to starting center Bam Adebayo.
DECEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Love - Officially questionable Love (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Impact Love didn't practice Tuesday due to a stomach illness and is expected to see a doctor. The veteran doesn't appear to be trending in the right direction and may join Jimmy Butler (calf) on the sidelines. If that's the case, Jaime Jaquez, Haywood Highsmith and Duncan Robinson would all be candidates to join the starting lineup.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Lowry - Cleared for Wednesday Lowry (general soreness) is available for Wednesday's game against Orlando.
Impact Lowry will join forces with Tyler Herro while Jimmy Butler (calf) is out Wednesday. Lowry should slot back into a 30-minute workload, and he's burying a career-best 43.9 percent of 4.9 threes per game this season.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Love - Does not practice Love did not practice Tuesday due to a stomach illness, Adam Lichtenstein of the Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Love is expected to see a doctor and his status will be updated later. For now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic. If he's unable to play, the Heat could turn to Haywood Highsmith and Caleb Martin to fill the void.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Ruled out for Wednesday Butler (calf) will not play Wednesday against Orlando, Wes Goldberg of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Butler suffered a left calf strain during Monday's loss to Minnesota, and the injury will force him to miss Wednesday's game. Friday against Atlanta represents Butler's next opportunity to take the court as he looks to build chemistry with the recently returned Tyler Herro (ankle). Herro will the tasked with sizable offensive burden in Butler's absence.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Delivers solid numbers in return Adebayo (hip) scored 22 points (10-22 FG, 2-3 FT) and added six rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block across 36 minutes in Monday's 112-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Despite missing the Heat's previous seven games with a left hip contusion, Adebayo appeared to be in top form in his first outing since Nov. 30. Not only did he lead all Heat players in minutes, but Adebayo also took on a team-high 33 percent usage rate, notably finishing ahead of both Tyler Herro (29 percent) and Jimmy Butler (20.1 percent). Though Adebayo could sacrifice a few more shot attempts to the latter two players in games to come, the injury scare at least doesn't look as though it'll be anything that derails what had been shaping up to be one of the best seasons of his career. He's averaging career highs in scoring (22.2 points per game) and free-throw percentage (80.9 percent), and his 4.0 assists per game represent his best mark since 2020-21.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Duncan Robinson - Boosts offense in return to bench Robinson notched 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Monday's 112-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Robinson moved back to the bench with Tyler Herro returning to the starting lineup, going on to lead all Heat bench players in scoring and rebounds while connecting on a team-leading mark from three. Robinson has tallied at least 10 points and five rebounds in five contests this season, connecting on four or more threes in seven games.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Love - Flirts with double-double in start Love racked up nine points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 112-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Love entered the starting lineup after coming off the bench in Miami's previous contest, finishing the game with a team-high rebound mark and ending one point short of a double-double. Love has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in five games this season, his first double-digit board total since reeling in 12 rebounds Dec. 8 against Cleveland.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Top scorer in return from injury Herro chipped in 25 points (10-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 112-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Herro returned for the first time since Nov. 8 while dealing with a right ankle sprain, jumping right back into action as a starter while leading all Heat players in scoring along with a team-high-tying steals mark. Herro has tallied at least 25 points in five games this season, his first such performance since scoring 30 points Nov. 1 against Brooklyn.

Orlando Robinson - Returning to bench Robinson will head to the bench with Bam Adebayo (hip) healthy and starting Monday against Minnesota.
Impact Robinson was functioning as a pseudo-starter across Miami's last five contests, averaging 4.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 15.8 minutes per game. He'll return to backup duties Monday, forming a platoon with Kevin Love, and to a lesser extent Thomas Bryant, behind Adebayo.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Love - Enters starting five Love is starting Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Wes Goldberg of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Love is coming off a strong 22-point performance Saturday against the Bulls, and his play has evidently earned him a spot with the first unit Monday evening. His last start dates back to Nov. 28 against the Bucks when he posted six points, 10 boards and four assists across 26 minutes.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Duncan Robinson - Shifts to bench Robinson isn't starting Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Wes Goldberg of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Robinson will move to a bench role with Tyler Herro set to return from an 18-game absence due to a right ankle injury. Robinson averaged 26.1 minutes per contest in his first eight games of the season off the bench, and given his recent role, he should still be a candidate for 25-plus minutes.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Starting in return Herro is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Herro will debut with the starters for his first game action since Nov. 8. Duncan Robbinson will shift to the bench, even with Kyle Lowry (soreness/rest) out Monday. Herro has averaged 20.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 75 games as a starter dating back to the beginning of last season.
DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Available Monday Herro has been removed from the injury report in advance of Monday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Herro a set to return from an 18-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. Kyle Lowry (rest/soreness) has been ruled out for Monday's game, so Miami won't quite be at full strength, but Herro and Bam Adebayo (hip) will both return from extended absences. The re-introduction of Herro's workload will be worth monitoring, as Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez and Josh Richardson will likely each see a slight reduction in usage.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Available for Monday Adebayo (hip) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against Minnesota.
Impact Despite ominously lacking a timetable to return, Adebayo is set to return to action after a seven-game absence Monday. It's unclear if his minutes will be monitored, but Adebayo's bruised left hip appears to be on the mend and shouldn't carry a re-aggravation risk. His return will coincide with Tyler Herro's (ankle), as the duo have both been cleared for action Monday.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Lowry - Won't play Monday Lowry has been ruled out for Monday's game against Minnesota due to general soreness.
Impact Lowry will miss his first game since Nov. 12. Josh Richardson is a candidate to move into the starting lineup in Lowry's absence, but Tyler Herro has also been cleared to suit up for the first time since Nov. 8 and figures to absorb some of Lowry's usage. Lowry's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Orlando.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Keeps producing Jaquez recorded 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 win over the Bulls.
Impact Jaquez continuing to have and produce in a large role, even with Caleb Martin fully reintroduced to 30-plus nightly minutes as well, is extremely encouraging for his rest-of season-value. Jaquez has been a seamless fit to Miami's offense, improving the Heat's scoring performance by 4.8 points per 100 possessions through his first 26 games.

Kyle Lowry - Shark facilitation in win Lowry notched 10 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one block in 32 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 victory over the Bulls. He also registered ze...
Impact Lowry protected the rock while bringing his brand of two-way grittiness to a contest that was tight throughout the second half. He's been a streaky shooter thus far, but Lowry is canning a career-best 43.9 percent of 4.9 threes per game through 25 games this season.
