Wed Apr 2422:18Bam Adebayo Looks Good In Win Over Boston
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo logged a team-high 40 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Boston Celtics. He looked good in this one, finishing with a 21-point, 10-rebound double-double. The C's have had issues with Adebayo during this series, with the 26-year-old averaging 22.5 points and shooting 61.3% from the field. With that in mind, the C's will likely adjust heading into Game 3 on Saturday, so everyone on the Heat roster could be in for a long night.

Sun Apr 2116:13Bam Adebayo Leads The Way In Game 1
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo scored a game-high 24 points in Sunday's loss to the Celtics. He added six rebounds and three assists. Tyler Herro struggled in Game 1. However, Adebayo did all he could to at least keep the game semi-competitive, although it wasn't enough. With Jimmy Butler (knee) and Terry Rozier (neck) on the shelf, the 26-year-old has an excellent chance of remaining the team's top scorer throughout the series, especially since Herro has had trouble shooting the ball of late. Both clubs will meet on Wednesday for Game 2. Of course, Adebayo will stay a viable DFS option.

Tue Apr 918:34Bam Adebayo Upgraded To Available Tuesday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hand) has been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday's matchup against Atlanta. The Heat star is good to go despite landing on the injury report with a sprained hand. This is a wonderful matchup for Adebayo against a defensively fragile team that regularly has trouble against opposing big men. He has already feasted against the Hawks a few times this season, averaging 21.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.7 steals across three games.

Mon Apr 814:48Bam Adebayo Probable Against Hawks
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hand) is listed as probable for Tuesday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Dealing with a sprained left hand, Adebayo is expected to play in a soft matchup against a Hawks team that ranks 27th in opponent field-goal percentage (49.3%) in 2023-24. In seven games versus Atlanta since 2022-23, the 26-year-old All-Star big man is banking 23.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.2 steals per contest. Assuming he's active on Tuesday's 11-game slate, Adebayo will be an appetizing DFS option at center.

Sun Mar 2415:35Bam Adebayo Available On Sunday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) will play on Sunday against the Cavaliers. He wasn't available when these two clubs met on Wednesday because of back spasms. However, the 26-year-old returned after a one-game absence on Friday versus the New Orleans Pelicans, finishing with a 12-point, 10-rebound double-double with two blocks. With Duncan Robinson (back) and Tyler Herro (foot) still out, Adebayo should get a few extra looks at the basket. Unfortunately, Evan Mobley (ankle) could be back from a nine-game layoff, so his presence might lower Adebayo's fantasy ceiling.

Thu Mar 2119:36Bam Adebayo Could Sit Out Again On Friday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Pelicans. He popped up on Wednesday's injury report because of a back contusion and was ultimately ruled out shortly after. As a result, Thomas Bryant got the start against Cleveland, finishing with 10 rebounds, six points, and one block in 15 minutes. If Adebayo misses a second consecutive contest, Bryant will likely remain in the starting lineup. However, he may not see the floor enough to be trusted in any fantasy format. On the other hand, Nikola Jovic, who had 14 points and six rebounds on Wednesday, could continue to benefit from a production standpoint without Adebayo active.

Wed Mar 2017:55Bam Adebayo Won't Play Against Cleveland
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) won't play on Wednesday against Cleveland. He was a late addition to the injury report with a back issue, and the team has now ruled him out for Wednesday's game. Miami also remains without Kevin Love (heel), meaning Thomas Bryant should get a rare chance to shine, with Orlando Robinson working as his backup. Nikola Jovic (hamstring), who's returning to the lineup from a two-game absence, might get some extra work as well on the frontcourt. Bryant has averaged 12.1 points and 6.0 rebounds as a starter for his career, but he faces a difficult matchup on Wednesday against Jarrett Allen.

Wed Mar 2015:08Bam Adebayo Downgraded To Questionable
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) has been downgraded to questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to pain and swelling in his lower back contusion area. Adebayo is a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign,after appearing to come away unscathed from Monday's road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The star big man will likely go through pregame warmups before the Heat decide on his availability. With Nikola Jovic (hamstring) also iffy and Kevin Love (heel) already ruled out, Miami could be left with Thomas Bryant for a spot start at center. With that said, Bryant is only averaging 7.3 points on 45.0% shooting from the floor, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 19.6 minutes over three games as a starter this season and would be an uninspiring fantasy streamer with this matchup's implied total set at a pitiful 204.5 points.

Sun Mar 1714:01Bam Adebayo Will Play Against Detroit
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) will play on Sunday in the rematch with the Pistons. He's been bothered by a back contusion of late. However, the 26-year-old wasn't truly in danger of sitting out this contest. Adebayo has played well versus Detroit this season, averaging 20.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals in three games. That said, Jimmy Butler (foot) is out, meaning Adebayo might be even more productive.

Fri Mar 1517:36Bam Adebayo Good To Go Friday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) is available for Friday's showdown with the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as probable on the injury report because of a back contusion. However, fantasy managers can now keep him in starting lineups with confidence. The 26-year-old has amassed 15.5 points per game in March, down from his 2023-24 average. But the Pistons have had trouble against opposing big men this season, so Adebayo could be in line for a bounce-back performance.

Thu Mar 1415:48Bam Adebayo Probable With Back Contusion
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) is probable for Friday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. Adebayo is dealing with a lower back contusion, but he's likely to suit up on Friday. The star big man has struggled across his last five appearances, averaging 14.0 points on 40.6% shooting from the floor, but he's still providing 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 dimes, and 2.6 combined steals plus blocks per game during this period.

Fri Dec 15 202323:09Bam Adebayo Still Out On Saturday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) remains out on Saturday against the visiting Chicago Bulls. The 26-year-old has missed the last six games because of a hip contusion, so it's anyone's guess when he'll be ready to return. But until Adebayo is back on the floor, Orlando Robinson, averaging 8.3 points and 6.2 boards in six starts this season, could continue to fill most of the void. However, that could change with Haywood Highsmith (back) returning from a five-game absence.

Thu Dec 14 202315:45Bam Adebayo Remains Out Thursday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. A nagging left-hip contusion will keep Adebayo sidelined for yet another night, forcing him to the seats for a sixth consecutive game. Without a definitive timeline for a return, the 26-year-old two-time All-Star's status looks to be very much in doubt for Saturday's home rematch with the Bulls. Superstar Jimmy Butler should dominate usage on Thursday against Chicago. Orlando Robinson is averaging 10.6 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 24.4 minutes over seven games without Adebayo this year, while Kevin Love is putting up 9.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.9 threes per game when Adebayo has been out.

Tue Dec 12 202318:20Heat Say Bam Adebayo Will Remain Out Wednesday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Adebayo just can't seem to get over this left hip contusion, which will force him to miss his fifth consecutive game. Without a clear timetable for a return, the 26-year-old two-time All-Star would appear to be closer to doubtful than questionable for Thursday versus the Chicago Bulls. Look for Jimmy Butler to monopolize usage on Wednesday, while Orlando Robinson is worth a look for fantasy managers needing a short-term source of some blocks and boards. Kevin Love should see more run from head coach Erik Spoelstra's bench, chipping in an efficient 11.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.2 threes in 19.6 minutes per game over six contests without Adebayo this year.

Sun Dec 10 202314:46Bam Adebayo Out Again On Monday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) was ruled out ahead of Monday's game in Charlotte. The 26-year-old has battled a hip contusion for a few weeks, although things must have gotten worse along the way, considering he'll now miss his fourth straight contest. That said, Adebayo has averaged a career-high 22.3 points, adding 9.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 blocks this season, so fantasy managers hope this doesn't turn into an even lengthier absence. But with Haywood Highsmith (back) also sidelined on Monday night, Orlando Robinson, averaging 12.0 points and 8.3 rebounds in three starts this season, should continue to fill the void in the rotation. However, guys like Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kyle Lowry, and Caleb Martin have benefited from extra scoring chances caused by Adebayo's absence.

Thu Dec 7 202318:14Bam Adebayo Still Out With Bruised Hip
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) is out for Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Make it three absences in a row for Adebayo, whose troublesome left hip contusion has limited him to three of a possible seven appearances since Nov. 22. It's also not a great sign that Adebayo was ruled out last Saturday for this past Wednesday against the Toronto Raptors, either. The 26-year-old two-time All-Star has carried out third-round fantasy value this year, averaging 22.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 2.2 combined steals plus blocks in 33.6 minutes over 16 games in South Beach. Fantasy managers hope Adebayo can return on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Miami's offense should center around Jimmy Butleron Friday. With Thomas Bryant a DNP-CD for back-to-back nights, the unheralded Orlando Robinson has emerged as a valid streaming option while hitting for at least 15 points and two threes in each of his last two starts.

Wed Dec 6 202317:40Bam Adebayo Ruled Out On Wednesday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) will get the night off on Wednesday to nurse a left hip contusion which has bothered him for a while now. The star center will miss the contest against the Toronto Raptors which means Orlando Robinson will likely remain in the starting lineup while Kevin Love will see some additional minutes off of the bench. Robinson has been a solid streaming option for rebounds, at the very least, when he gets some more opportunities. It's unclear how many more games Adebayo will have to miss at this time.

Sat Dec 2 202309:07Bam Adebayo Unavailable On Saturday
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) will miss Saturday's clash against the Pacers. He's been carrying a hip issue for quite a while and was forced to make an early exit against Indiana on Thursday because of the ailment. It's going to be the third game he misses in six contests. Thomas Bryant recently made two starts when Adebayo was unavailable, but he logged just six minutes in Thursday's 142-132 win. Kevin Love didn't see a boost in playing time either, so we might see a lot of small lineups again by Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on Saturday.

Mon Nov 27 202323:26Bam Adebayo Probable Versus Milwaukee
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) is expected to play on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. The 26-year-old has been in and out of the lineup over the last week or so because of a left hip contusion. He recently sat out Sunday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets, allowing Thomas Bryant to fill the void in the starting lineup. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Bryant had just two points in 13 minutes, so his streaming value would be non-existent if Adebayo isn't available. But considering Adebayo is averaging a career-high 22.7 points this season, he must be starting in every fantasy lineup imaginable. His scoring potential will rise even more if Jimmy Butler (ankle), who is questionable, doesn't suit up.

Mon Nov 27 202315:37Bam Adebayo A Full Participant In Practice
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (hip) fully practiced on Monday. Left hip soreness has kept Adebayo out of Miami's lineup for two of the past three games, but his presence at Monday's session bodes well for his ability suit up for Tuesday's In-Season Tournament game versus the Milwaukee Bucks. If all goes well at morning shootaround as well as pregame warmups, Adebayo figures to be good to go for Tuesday's action. The Heat should provide an official injury designation later on Monday. The 26-year-old four-time All-Defensive big man is returning second-round fantasy numbers this season, averaging 22.4 points, 10.7 boards, and 2.4 combined steals plus blocks in 34.4 minutes over 14 games. Adebayo's prospective return would bounce Thomas Bryant from head coach Erik Spoelstra's starting five, and perhaps downgrade Nikola Jovic to DNP-CD treatment.
