Tyler Herro

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.

While Herro's streak of 30-point games ended at three on Friday, he's scored 22 or more in five straight. Over the past two weeks, the Heat guard has provided 3rd-round value in 8- and 9-cat formats. Jimmy Butler's return from suspension was cause for concern, especially among fantasy managers who have relied on Herro's recent increase in value. All things considered, Friday's performance was good for the Heat guard. He'll look to end Week 12 on a high note when Miami hosts the Spurs on Sunday.

Herro got off to an incredibly hot start to this game and entered the break with 22 points and five 3-pointers. That led to his third straight game with at least 30 points, and he has been pouring in the triples as of late. Herro has taken on a larger workload on offense with Jimmy Butler out of the lineup, and that is a trend that will continue until Butler either returns or is traded. Regardless, Herro has been on a tear recently, and they still have two more games this week for him to continue lighting it up from deep.

Without Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in the lineup, it was no surprise that the Heat leaned on Herro for offense Monday. He had 32 points on 20 shots, though he struggled from the 3-point line going 4-of-13. The 24-year-old continues to benefit from Butler's continued absence from the lineup as he's provided third round fantasy value over the last week.

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.
