NBC SportsKel'el Ware produced 22 points (8-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks.

Ware's performance in Dallas was the most recent example that he does not need to start to provide reliable fantasy value. And it was a game that he needed after going scoreless and playing just 16 minutes in Monday's win over the Clippers. Ware recorded his ninth double-double of the season, and he's had one in all four games that he's managed to score at least 20 points. Even with the poor effort against the Clippers, the second-year center has been a top-30 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

NBC SportsDavion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo will start Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

With Powell and Wiggins returning from injury, the Heat have made two changes to their starting lineup. Pelle Larsson and Kel'el Ware head to the bench. While both will remain in the rotation, Ware is the one who should continue to be rostered in 12-team leagues. Wiggins is back after a three-game absence, so it's possible that he doesn't play full starters' minutes on Wednesday.

NBC SportsAndrew Wiggins (hip) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Wiggins is back after missing the last three games with a left hip flexor injury. He'll likely be in the starting lineup, with Kel'el Ware moving to the bench. Ware will get the minutes needed to provide solid fantasy value, so do not even consider dropping him.
