Nikola Jovic - Eligible to play Tuesday Jovic (suspension) is available for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Impact Jovic and Jimmy Butler will both suit up after serving one-game suspensions Monday for their involvement in an on-court altercation during Friday's win over the Pelicans. However, Jovic's role will likely be limited given Miami's frontcourt rotation is relatively healthy.

Orlando Robinson - Out again Tuesday Robinson (back) will not play Tuesday versus Portland.
Impact Robinson will miss his third consecutive game due to back spasms. His next opportunity to take the court comes Thursday versus Denver.
FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Remains out Tuesday Herro (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Impact Herro is dealing with a hyperextended left knee and will miss a second consecutive game, but an MRI showed no structural damage. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Denver, while Terry Rozier (knee), who's been cleared to suit up following a four-game absence, should soak up most of Herro's missing minutes versus Portland.
FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Terry Rozier - Returning to action Rozier (knee) will play Tuesday versus Portland, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Impact Rozier is officially cleared to return from a knee sprain that has cost him Miami's past four games. His brief absence is an amazing development for the Heat after what looked to be a serious injury in the moment. Rozier was questionable for Monday's win over Sacramento, so it appears that his ramp up has gone smoothly and he could be in line for a standard workload Tuesday.
FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Available Tuesday Butler (suspension) is available for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Impact Butler and Nikola Jovic will both suit up after serving one-game suspensions Monday for their involvement in an on-court altercation during Friday's win over the Pelicans. Terry Rozier (knee) is also cleared to make his return following a multi-game absence, while Tyler Herro (knee) remains out. Butler shouldn't face any limitations versus Portland.

Haywood Highsmith - Tale of two halves Highsmith produced 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and three steals in 29 minutes during Monday's 121-110 victory over the Kings.
Impact Highmsith scored all 15 of his points in the first half, which was a factor in Miami nearly squandering a 20-point lead in the second half, but the Heat ultimately prevailed. Highsmith is posting career highs of 38.1 percent efficiency on 3.0 threes per game this season, and his contributions Monday were critical with Jimmy Butler serving a one-game suspension and Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier sidelined by knee injuries.
FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Martin - Plays 40 minutes in win Martin finished with 16 points (6-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 121-110 victory over the Kings.
Impact Miami was very shorthanded Monday, as Jimmy Butler was one of a few suspended players. Tyler Herro (knee) and Terry Rozier (knee) were also held out, so Martin saw a ton of usage on the offensive end and didn't disappoint. As a utility player for the Heat, Martin offers a nice floor in fantasy basketball for his versatility.

Not again: Sacramento Kings fall to shorthanded Miami Heat while Jimmy Butler is suspended The Sacramento Kings stormed back from a 20-point deficit, but the Miami Heat held on to win despite the absence of Jimmy Butler.

Kevin Love - Inflicts swift damage from bench Love had 19 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes during Monday's 121-110 victory over the Kings.
Impact Love only played 15 minutes in the win, but he was able to compile an eye-popping 19 points and seven rebounds with very little effort. Nikola Jovic's (suspension) absence allowed for frontcourt players lower on the depth chart, but Love usually makes brief appearances regardless of the team's injury status.
FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Logs 28/10 double-double in win Adebayo produced 28 points (11-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Monday's 121-110 win over the Kings.
Impact Adebayo faced a stern test opposite Domantas Sabonis but managed an impressive line.The center was back on the double-double train after failing to hit the milestone in his last game, and he's hit the mark in seven of his last 10 contests Adebayo and Caleb Martin were the only routine starters to take the floor during Monday's win, and excelled with most of their fellow first-unit playmakers absent.
FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Pours in 26 points in starting role Jaquez supplied 26 points (12-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 121-110 victory over the Kings.
Impact Jaquez helped the Heat win a fourth-straight game on a night where most of the starters were out. Jaquez aptly filled in for Jimmy Butler (suspension) with his second-best scoring total of the season. Although Jaquez was routinely posting strong numbers prior to a seven-game absence in January, his demotion to the second unit has had an adverse effect on his bottom line, Unless Miami's injury concerns become a more consistent problem, nights like these will be a rarity for the rookie.
