Miami is fairly wholesome proper now, aside from Pelle Larsson battling an ankle damage. Nonetheless, his minutes have been shrinking with Norman Powell and Tyler Herro again. We also needs to discuss Herro’s match on this new Warmth offense, which has been lower than perfect. Certain, Herro continues to be placing up factors, however he doesn’t appear totally snug on this new fast-paced movement offense, and his help totals are fairly drastically down from years previous. That may influence his general fantasy worth. However Powell has simply been flat-out higher, and I’m unsure that’s going to alter. The Warmth additionally tried to start out Kel’el Ware and Bam Adebayo subsequent to one another, however that doesn’t appear to be working.

Zach LaVine can be out on Thursday with a thumb damage, so we’ll must see if that persists. That has left Russell Westbrook to hold a serious load for the offense, and he’s been a top-15 participant in fantasy during the last two weeks. Keegan Murray has additionally been stable since he’s been again, however there’s not quite a bit to love right here.
