Miami Heat DFS Spin
Bam Adebayo (left hip contusion), Tyler Herro (right ankle sprain) and Haywood Highsmith (lower back contusion) will all remain sidelined for Monday’s matchup with the Hornets.
The Heat will continue to be without all three players. That means that Orlando Robinson and Caleb Martin will continue to start. Both have been excellent streaming options, though Robinson’s minutes were limited in their last game. Duncan Robinson should also remain in the starting unit with Herro out, though Herro has been sidelined for most of the season, so that won’t be a dramatic change to their rotation.
Charlotte Hornets DFS Spin
Terry Rozier tallied 21 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, 13 assists, and two 3-pointers in 40 minutes in Friday’s 119-116 win over the Raptors. Staring at point guard in place of the injured LaMelo Ball for the fifth consecutive game, Rozier matched his season-high with 13 assists. He’s scored 20 or more in four straight games, and just as encouraging for fantasy managers, Scary Terry has kept the turnovers down.
Counting his two on Friday, Rozier has 11 over the last five games while racking up 45 assists. He’s ranked 41st in 9-cat per-game value over the previous two weeks per Basketball Monster and is closing in on top 50 value for the season. With Ball set to be re-evaluated in a week, Rozier stands to get at least four more games of extended run at point guard, which is good news for managers who have him rostered.
