Jonathan Isaac - Iffy against BrooklynIsaac (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Nets.

ImpactIsaac left Wednesday's regular-season opener early due to left hip soreness and was unable to return. If Isaac is forced to miss Friday's contest too, Moritz Wagner, Caleb Houstan and Tristan da Silva are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Anthony Black - Provides spark off benchBlack totaled 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 116-97 win over the Heat.

ImpactBlack actually played the second-most minutes behind Paolo Banchero for Orlando in Wednesday's win as the Magic started to pull away from the Heat in the second half. Black had a relatively quiet rookie season but should continue to operate as one of the team's primary bench options in the backcourt.

Bam Adebayo - Struggles on Opening NightAdebayo posted nine points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 116-97 loss to Orlando.

ImpactAdebayo played just 26 minutes during the Heat's regular-season opener as the game started to get out of hand in the second half. While the 27-year-old big man seems set to take more than his 0.6 three-point attempts from last season, he was unable to connect from downtown against Orlando. Adebayo tied Jimmy Butler for a game-low minus-30 point differential.

Nikola Jovic - Starts and scores 15 pointsJovic finished with 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 116-97 loss to the Magic.

ImpactJovic started 38 of 46 regular-season games last season, and he seems to have a leg up on Jaime Jaquez as the first-unit option for the Heat. Jovic's fantasy value is still up in the air, but his spot in the rotation warrants some consideration, especially if he's available on the waiver wire.

Terry Rozier - Leads team with 19 pointsRozier finished with 19 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 116-97 loss to Orlando.

ImpactRozier joined the Heat before the trade deadline last season and made an immediate impact. He enters his 10th NBA season as the Heat's answer to replace Kyle Lowry, who was traded to the Sixers. Rozier is a definite upgrade from the aging Lowry, and is poised to thrive alongside Tyler Herro in the backcourt and flash some the excellent production he displayed during his tenures with Charlotte and Boston.
