Having averaged 9.8 points on 41.4% shooting in his previous six outings, Rozier had one of his best games on Sunday. Reaching the 20-point mark for the third time this season and the first since December 21, Scary Terry is ranked outside the top 200 in 9-cat formats over the past month. He's one of the players negatively impacted by Jimmy Butler's return, as Rozier was dropped to the bench. However, he's struggled regardless of role, underlining the importance of Saturday's effort.
Butler will be in the starting lineup in his first game back from a seven-game suspension. Even with his stated desire to be traded, he's in a position where he can provide high value. Whether Butler looks at this as an opportunity to boost his value to other teams or a chance to show his continued displeasure will be one of the major storylines on Friday. His return also means Robinson will start due to the need for spacing, with Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. heading to the bench. Managers who have Jaquez or Nikola Jovic rostered should hold onto them until the Butler situation is resolved.
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.
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.
Saturday's game is the first for Miami since their decision to suspend Jimmy Butler. Rozier will fill the void, making his 14th start of the season. While he's underwhelmed regarding fantasy production, this move could provide Rozier a much-needed boost as the Heat move forward without Butler. The other change is Jovic, who replaces Duncan Robinson in the lineup.
