Heat get go-ahead basket from Adebayo, top Magic 99-96 in rare low-scoring game this season
Duncan Robinson scored 23 points, Bam Adebayo hit the go-ahead jumper with 18.5 seconds left and the Miami Heat beat the Orlando Magic 99-96 on Friday nightJANUARY 13 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Duncan Robinson - Back in starting lineup Robinson is in the starting backcourt for the Heat in their Friday matchup with the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact With Kyle Lowry (hand), Tyler Herro (shoulder) and Jimmy Butler (toe) sidelined, Miami's backcourt and wing depth is pretty thin. As a result, Robinson figures to see a relatively heavy workload against Orlando.
JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Martin - Cleared to play Martin (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact As expected, Martin has been upgraded from probable to available and will make his first appearance since Christmas Day. Given the eight-game absence, it wouldn't be surprising to see Martin limited Friday, but the Heat are going to be without Jimmy Butler (toe), Tyler Herro (shoulder) and Kyle Lowry (hand), leaving plenty of minutes available for Martin.

Kyle Lowry - Won't play Friday Lowry (hand) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.
Impact As expected, Lowry has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second consecutive game after spraining his left hand during Monday's win over the Rockets. With Jimmy Butler (toe) and Tyler Herro (shoulder) also sidelined, Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez should continue to see increased usage versus Orlando.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Downgraded to out Herro (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.
Impact As expected, Herro has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss his first game since Dec. 16. Jimmy Butler (toe) and Kyle Lowry (hand) are also out, so Duncan Robinson, Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez should continue to see increased roles versus Orlando. Herro's next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus Charlotte.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Officially ruled out Butler (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.
Impact Butler has appeared in just one game since Dec. 18 while dealing with a right toe sprain. Updates on his status have been sparse, but he did say Tuesday that his toe is showing signs of improvement, and he's aiming to return either Sunday versus Charlotte or Monday in Brooklyn, though his official status for those games remains unclear. In the meantime, Jaime Jaquez, Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic should continue to see increased roles, especially given Tyler Herro (shoulder) and Kyle Lowry (hand) are also out.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Martin - Upgraded to probable Martin (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Magic.
Impact Martin is expected to return to action Friday after missing the last eight games with a right ankle sprain. With Jimmy Butler (toe), Tyler Herro (shoulder) and Kyle Lowry (hand) all doubtful, Martin could be in store for extended minutes.
JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Tyler Herro - Downgraded to doubtful Herro (shoulder) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Magic.
Impact Herro has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful and will likely miss his first game since Dec. 16. Jimmy Butler (toe) and Kyle Lowry (hand) are also doubtful, so it's unclear what Miami will do at point guard, but Caleb Martin (ankle) is expected to suit up for the first time since Dec. 25.

JANUARY 11 • SUN-SENTINEL.COM
Tyler Herro - Deemed questionable for Friday Herro is questionable for Friday's game versus the Magic due to a shoulder injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Herro presumably tweaked his shoulder in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder but was still able to play 36 minutes. If Herro is ruled out, Duncan Robinson and Josh Richardson are candidates to receive increased playing time.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Lowry - Unlikely to play Friday Lowry (hand) is doubtful for Friday's game against Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Lowry sustained a left hand sprain Monday against the Rockets and will likely be forced to miss a second consecutive game Friday. If he's unable to suit up, his next chance to return would be Sunday against the Hornets.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Caleb Martin - Iffy against Orlando Martin (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Martin has missed Miami's last eight games due to a right ankle sprain. However, his upgraded status is a good sign that the 28-year-old forward is nearing a return.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Jimmy Butler - Doubtful for Friday Butler (toe) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Although Butler is unlikely to suit up Friday, it's encouraging that he's listed as doubtful on Miami's initial injury report rather than being immediately ruled out. He's missed the past five games, but he said Tuesday that his toe is improving and that he expects to return soon. Jaime Jaquez, Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic will likely continue to see increased run Friday.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Bam Adebayo - Extends double-double streak Adebayo recorded 25 points (9-16 FG, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Adebayo has been tasked with handling a bigger role on offense with Jimmy Butler (foot) sidelined, and for the most part, the star big man has been stepping up to the challenge. Adebayo has eight double-doubles over his last nine outings and is averaging 22.2 points with 12.0 rebounds per game in that span.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Haywood Highsmith - Solid output in starting role Highsmith finished with 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Highsmith returned to a starting role and looked impressive, putting up solid contributions on both ends of the court and reaching a season-best mark in scoring. Highsmith has scored in double digits six times this season, and while his fantasy upside is inconsistent, he will experience an uptick if he's able to remain in a starting role going forward.
JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE
Jaime Jaquez Jr. - Productive in starting role Jaquez totaled 21 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 6-9 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Jaquez has looked comfortable in a starting role, and the absence of Jimmy Butler (foot) will mean the rookie should continue having a strong upside in the foreseeable future. The former UCLA standout has started in all but one of his last 10 outings, a span in which he's putting up 16.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.3 steals per contest.
