Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Pelle Larsson, Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo will start Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.Larsson suffered a sprained right foot during Monday's win over the Clippers, but he is healthy enough to play and start in Dallas. Norman Powell (ankle) is out despite the Heat listing him as active, which means Larsson will start after coming off the bench on Monday.
Bam Adebayo accounted for 21 points (10-of-19 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Mavericks.Adebayo was one of three Heat players to score at least 20 points on Wednesday, and he's met or exceeded that number in consecutive games for the first time since late October. Since returning from a toe injury that sidelined him for six games, the Heat center/forward has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. When Miami is whole, which they weren't on Wednesday (Norman Powell was out), Bam's ceiling as a scorer may be lower. However, he's still capable of providing excellent value given his overall skill set.
Bam Adebayo: Fills stat sheet MondayAdebayo posted 27 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, four steals and four blocks over 32 minutes during Monday's 140-123 win over the Clippers.
Bam Adebayo finished Wednesday's win over the Bucks with 17 points (7-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer.Adebayo scored at least 17 points for the fifth straight game on Wednesday. He needed only 29 minutes of game action to record double-digit rebounds, which led him to his sixth double-double of the season. The veteran center has produced solid numbers in his return from a toe injury and continues to be one of the Heat's most relied-upon players. As long as he's healthy, he'll remain a productive fantasy basketball player who is a nightly double-double threat.
Davion 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.
