Duncan Robinson - Active Thursday Robinson (ankle) will play in Thursday's contest against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Impact Robinson, as expected, will play Thursday after being listed as probable coming into the game. He should see an expanded role off of the bench considering Kyle Lowry (rest) and Gabe Vincent (knee) will not suit up for the contest.
DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Victor Oladipo - Active Thursday Oladipo (knee) will be available for Thursday's contest against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Impact Oladipo will play in his second game of the season Thursday after logging nine points, two rebounds and two assists in 19 minutes of action against Detroit on Tuesday. Expect the veteran to see minutes off the bench in relief of Dru Smith and Tyler Herro (ankle).
DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Max Strus - Active off bench Strus (shoulder) will play but not start in Thursday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Impact Strus was probable coming into the game but was not listed in the starting five. Instead the Heat will opt to start Dru Smith to keep Victor Oladipo (knee), Duncan Robinson (ankle) and Strus together in the second unit. However, Strus will still likely see a significant workload in the absence of Kyle Lowry (rest) and Gabe Vincent (knee).
DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dru Smith - Gets first career start Thursday Smith will start Thursday against the Clippers.
Impact Smith is coming off one of his best G League performances of the season, during which the guard recorded 26 points, six assists, and four rebounds. The guard will receive his first ever start for the Heat in place of Max Strus (shoulder). So far with Miami, Smith has played in only four games, and he's averaging 11.5 minutes, 2.3 points and 2.0 rebounds.
DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Active and starting Herro (ankle) will play and start Thursday's game against the Clippers.
Impact Herro was previously listed as probable for the contest, so his availability was to be expected. With Kyle Lowry resting, more usage should be available for Herro, making him extra appealing in daily formats
DECEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Gabe Vincent - Could miss multiple games Vincent (knee), who has been ruled out Thursday against the Clippers, could miss a few more games, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Vincent is unavailable for a second consecutive game Thursday, and coach Erik Spoelstra said prior to tipoff that he wants the guard to be fully healthy prior to returning to the court. It wouldn't be surprising to see him miss Saturday's game against the Spurs, although his status for that matchup hasn't yet been determined.
DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dewayne Dedmon - In line to play Thursday Dedmon (foot) looks set to suit up for Thursday's game versus the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Dedmon should resume his backup duties behind Bam Adebayo, which hasn't proven to be particularly fruitful of late. Dedmon compiled just two combined points over 18 minutes in his last two appearances. However, he averaged 10.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in the five before that, so there is some fantasy upside to his game.

Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler Will Play Tonight Against Los Angeles Clippers Butler back in the lineup after one-game absence
DECEMBER 8, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Jimmy Butler - Slated to play Thursday Butler (rest) is in line to suit up for Thursday's game versus the Clippers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Butler received a rest day in the second game of a back-to-back set Tuesday but is set to rejoin the action Thursday. Butler's season thus far has been right on par with previous campaigns, so he should be in fantasy lineups when he's available.

Miami Heat's Kyle Lowry Out Tonight Against Los Angeles Clippers Lowry will be sidelined for rest purposes
DECEMBER 8, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Nikola Jovic - Available against Clippers Jovic (foot) is available Thursday against the Clippers.
Impact After being listed as probable, Jovic will be able to suit up once again despite his plantar fasciitis. He logged five points and a rebound in nine minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Pistons.
DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Lowry - Out for rest Thursday Lowry is out for rest Thursday against the Clippers.
Impact With the Heat getting a bit healthier, the coaching staff feels confident giving Lowry the night off for rest. It will be the veteran's first missed game of the season. He's struggled with his efficiency, shooting 39.6 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from deep, but Lowry is providing fantasy managers with a quality 14.4 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 36.3 minutes. In his absence, more minutes may be available for Caleb Martin, Victor Oladipo (knee) and Duncan Robinson (ankle).
DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Haywood Highsmith - Available Thursday Highsmith (ankle) is available Thursday against the Clippers.
Impact Highsmith was probable ahead of Thursday's matchup, so it's not very surprising that he'll be able to suit up. The Heat have a lengthy injury report once again Thursday, so it's possible Highsmith will continue to see extended run after averaging 5.9 points and 6.3 rebounds in 28.2 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.
