Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (rest) will be available for Wednesday's play-in clash against the Chicago Bulls. The Heat star dealt with a back issue late during the regular season and was rested for Sunday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. Adebayo has averaged 10.8 points and 10.5 rebounds across four career play-in games. However, he will be expected to do more offensively this year, with Jimmy Butler III out of town. During the regular season, Adebayo was a 21-point scorer against the Bulls, adding 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game to his tally.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (back) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls. The two-time Olympic champion was unavailable on Monday night against the Philadelphia 76ers due to back spasms. Haywood Highsmith received the starting nod and is likely to move back into the second unit for Wednesday's matchup. The Bulls are weak defensively, and Adebayo has not had any problems exploiting their shortcomings, averaging 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 3.0 assists in the matchup this season. On Wednesday, Adebayo might have increased offensive usage, as Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is listed as questionable and may miss another game.

According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Miami Heat centerBam Adebayo(back) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Adebayo has only missed two games all season, but a back issue will keep him out on Monday. With the big man out of action, 20-year-old center Kel'el Ware could be a DFS option for this evening. The rookie Ware has put together a decent 2024-25 campaign, averaging 9.0 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 22.0 minutes per contest across 60 games.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) is suffering from back spasms and has been listed as questionable for Monday's contest with the Philadelphia 76ers. The dynamic big man has only missed two games this year, so he has a better chance to play than most when they get a questionable tag. The Heat are also only three games back from the seventh seed, which would make the play-in tournament a lot easier than the tenth seed. If Adebayo is sidelined, Kel'el Ware should be a very popular streaming option and DFS play. The rookie has put together a solid season, and when he receives between 30 to 39 minutes, he averages 15.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (calf) will play against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Initially, Adebayo was considered questionable for the game due to a right calf contusion. The Heat big man has delivered some of his best performances of the season against the Pacers. He has averaged 24.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in the matchup, shooting 57.4 percent from the field, including 50 percent from downtown.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The star big man has suffered a right calf contusion and could be out of the lineup for just the third time in 2024-25. Miami has figured out how to utilize Adebayo and Kel'el Ware (ankle) together, but Ware's fantasy value is likely to rise further if Adebayo is unable to play on Wednesday. The Heat have listed Ware as probable for the game. Kevin Love (personal) is also expected to take on a greater role. He has rejoined the team after addressing a personal matter.

Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official sitereports that Miami Heat forward/centerBam Adebayo(knee) won't play against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. Adebayo appeared on the injury report earlier due to a left knee bruise, but he's since been downgraded to unavailable. Thursday's contest will be the first the 27-year-old has missed in a month. With the big man out, Nikola Jovic,Kyle Anderson, andHaywood Highsmithwould be set up for more work, whileKel'el Warewould have more space to dominate against a banged-up Dallas frontcourt.

Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (knee) could be forced to miss Miami's final game before the All-Star break since he was listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Dallas. Adebayo has been putting up big numbers with at least 18 points in eight straight games and six double-doubles in his last nine. He had 27 points and 15 boards in 35 minutes against the Thunder on Wednesday, but now he's dealing with a left knee contusion that could sideline him for the second game of the back-to-back. If he's unable to give it a go, Nikola Jovic, Kyle Anderson, and Haywood Highsmith would be set up for more work while Kel'el Ware would have more space to dominate against a banged-up Dallas frontcourt.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Adebayo took a hard fall during Saturday's contest and as a result he sat out of Monday's game. Luckily, Adebayo is back in the mix after missing only one game due to a lower back contusion. His return to the court means less playing time for both Kevin Love and Kel'el Ware. Neither player is an ideal streaming option with Adebayo likely getting his full workload on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should feel safe getting Adebayo back in their lineups here.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers. The 27-year-old missed his first game of the season on Monday versus the Clippers. As a result, Kevin Love got the start. However, it was Kel'el Ware (probable) who took advantage, with the rookie finishing the night with 19 points, 13 rebounds, one steal, and one block while draining all three attempts from downtown. If Adebayo misses another game, Ware will see plenty of attention from DFS managers, assuming he's cleared to suit up. But if Ware is also ruled out, the Heat may go small, meaning Love and Nikola Jovic may split time at the five.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers. The big man was listed as available to begin the day. However, after he was downgraded to questionable, he'll now miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign. Jimmy Butler (suspension) remains out, so the team could rely more on Tyler Herro to pick up the slack on the scoring end. But players like Haywood Highsmith, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Nikola Jovic may also see an increase in scoring opportunities.

According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Miami Heat centerBam Adebayo(back) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers due to a lower back contusion. Chiang also reported that Adebayo plans on participating in warm ups with the intent to play. However, with the big man being added late to the injury report, there is a good chance he will be missing in action. Across 37 games, the 27-year-old is averaging 16.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 34.1 minutes per contest this season.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (back) appeared on Monday's injury report with a lower back contusion but is considered available for their game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The star center hasn't missed a game yet this season, so it seems to be more of a formality to list the nagging injury. Through 37 games this season, Adebayo averages 16.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and 2.1 turnovers per game with shooting splits of .456/.287/.716. Despite the fact that his rebounding, scoring, and efficiency numbers are all down from last season, Adebayo is still a top fantasy big man whenever healthy.

According to Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press, Miami Heat centerBam Adebayo is expected to sign a three-year contract extension worth $166 million to stay in South Beach. Adebayo has two years remaining on his current deal. However, the 26-year-old is coming off another excellent season, averaging 19.3 points and a career-high 10.4 rebounds while shooting 35.7% from behind the arc. He will go early in fantasy drafts for the upcoming season as he is one of the most dominant centers in the NBA.

According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, the Heat are expected to offer center Bam Adebayo an extension that will keep him in South Beach for "years to come." Adebayo has two years remaining on his current deal. But the 26-year-old is coming off another potent season, averaging 19.3 points and a career-high 10.4 rebounds, so the latest update is a no-brainer. He also developed a shot from deep, ending the 2023-24 campaign by shooting 35.7% from behind the arc. Miami could go in several different directions over the summer. However, the roster will be constructed around Adebayo moving ahead, meaning the chances of Tyler Herro and Jimmy Butler being moved are higher than ever. At any rate, no matter who is on the roster come training camp, Adebayo will go early in fantasy drafts heading toward the regular season.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo had a team-high 23 points in Wednesday's loss to Boston. He added six assists, five rebounds, and two blocks. Although Miami's year is finished, Adebayo can hold his head high. While he regressed slightly in some statistical categories during the regular season, he improved in others, especially with his career-high 35.7% shooting from behind the arc. The Heat will need to make adjustments to the roster this offseason if the club hopes to make another deep postseason run. Yet, Adebayo will remain one of the team's top producers on both ends of the floor regardless of any potential changes, so he'll likely be a top-30 fantasy option heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo racked up 25 points, 17 rebounds, and five assists Monday versus Boston, but his efforts weren't enough as a 102-88 loss sent Erik Spoelstra's team to the brink of elimination. Adebayo did the damage with 11-for-22 shooting. The Heat big man has gone for 20-plus points in all four games in the series, and he boasts two double-doubles, but Jimmy Butler (knee) is a huge loss to the team, and Miami needs to pull off something special to survive in Game 5 on Wednesday. Adebayo will enter the action averaging 22.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 3.3 assists for the series. Strangely, he hasn't yet registered any defensive stats this postseason.

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.

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.

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.
