NBC SportsNikola Jovic (hip) is available to play on Wednesday vs. the Bucks.

Jovic had missed Miami's last four games, but will rejoin the rotation on Wednesday during the team's five-game winning streak. He'll likely come off the bench for the 14th time in 15 appearances to provide the Heat with a bit of a scoring boost. The fourth-year forward has struggled with his shooting efficiency thus far. However, he's averaging career highs in rebounds and assists. A return to form from beyond the arc would help his fantasy production.

NBC SportsAndrew Wiggins (hip) and Nikola Jovic (hip) are probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Given how things are trending, the Heat should be as close to full strength as they've been this season for the final game before Thanksgiving. Wiggins has missed the last three games, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Kel'el Ware. The second-year center will likely be bumped to the bench if Wiggins plays. As for Jovic, he'll provide additional depth off the bench but is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball in that role.

NBC SportsNikola Jovic (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.

Jovic has missed Miami's last four games with a hip injury, freeing up additional minutes for Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio. However, with Tyler Herro available and Norman Powell (groin) considered probable, all three Heat reserves may lose out on playing time in Wednesday's NBA Cup matchup. Of the three, Jaquez is the safest option in terms of fantasy value.
