Butler's return pushes Kevin Love out of the starting unit, but his return lines up with Terry Rozier dealing with a foot issue. Robinson will replace him in the starting unit and should play big minutes with Jaime Jaquez Jr. also sidelined.
Bam dominated the Pacers on Friday. He was three assists shy of a 30-point triple-double and had five steals in a victory. Without Jimmy Butler on the floor, he's had additional scoring opportunities. Adebayo didn't have quite as good of a game on Sunday. He was -9 in 39 minutes in the nine-point loss. Miami has a quick turnaround as they face the 76ers on Monday in the second game of a back-to-back.
Herro has scored 20 points or more in six straight games, with Friday's being the first in which he failed to tally at least 24. Over the last two weeks, he's provided 3rd-round per-game value in 9-cat formats. Among Heat players, only Bam Adebayo has been more impactful. Look for Herro's fantasy value to remain high as long as Jimmy Butler (ankle) is sidelined.
Adebayo was dominant in Friday's win over the Pacers, recording his second 30-point double-double and matching his season-highs in assists and steals. Add in two 3-pointers and good percentages from the field and foul line, and this was a great night to have Adebayo rostered (fantasy or DFS). With Jimmy Butler sidelined Bam has the room to take over offensively while continuing to provide solid value as a rebounder and defender.
Adebayo was one steal away from a full stat line. He contributed in multiple aspects of the game, but even without Jimmy Butler on the floor, he took a backseat to Tyler Herro who led the Heat with 40 points. Adebayo was efficient with 20 points on 13 shots and made 3-of-5 free throws. He played 44 minutes in the overtime loss ahead of the Heat's matchup with the Pacers on Friday.
