Haywood Highsmith

Love last saw the floor on December 29th in Houston, which was a game that he started and logged 14 minutes. Starting hasn't guaranteed Love starting level minutes, so managers should expect Kel'el Ware to still play a significant role.

Highsmith had an excellent night in Portland, matching his season-high with four 3-pointers and five steals while scoring at least 15 points in a game for the fourth time. Rostered in 3% of Yahoo leagues, his season-long fantasy value hasn't been good. However, Highsmith's opportunities have increased with Jimmy Butler suspended, and he has been an 11th-round player in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. Deep-league managers needing 3-pointers and steals should consider streaming Highsmith during Miami's four-game Week 12, mainly if Butler doesn't immediately rejoin the team after serving his suspension.

Love's potential absence will not significantly impact fantasy basketball. In addition to Haywood Highsmith being a starter, the Heat can call on Nikola Jovic to provide value off the bench.

Although initially questionable for Monday's game due to personal reasons, Highsmith will be in the starting lineup. Jaquez will also be in the lineup, replacing Nikola Jovic. The change raises Jaquez's fantasy ceiling, but his production and role have been inconsistent this season.

Highsmith is expected to be back with the team in time for the game, but he listed as questionable because he wasn't with the team for their flight to Sacramento. If he isn't able to make the game, there will be an open starting spot, which could be filled by Jaime Jaquez Jr. or Duncan Robinson.
