He was embarrassed at the end of Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee when Jerryd Bayless won a crucial jump ball against him in the final seconds, but the Heat are running out of competent options in the frontcourt. Beasley should be viewed as a high-risk/high-reward option in daily leagues.

Beasley stuffed the stat sheet Friday against the Nuggets, posting nine points, eight rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block in 34 minutes of action.
Beasley has been extremely inconsistent of late, but is still averaging 9.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 0.7 steals per game in March. These numbers are certainly irrelevant in standard leagues, but are still usable in some competitive 16-man leagues.
Tue Mar 17 201514:41Beasley will sign for rest of season Wednesday
Beasley will sign for the rest of the season Wednesday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Beasley's second 10-day deal is set to expire Wednesday, so the the Heat will either have to release him or sign him for the rest of the season. As expected, they'll opt for the latter, as Beasley has been an integral part of the rotation, playing more than 24 minutes per game in March.

Beasley, who is on his second 10-day contract with the Heat, is averaging 11.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.0 steals over the last five games. While his numbers aren't extravagant, Beasley is producing solid value in 14-man leagues. The Heat are likely to sign him for the remainder of the season, so deep league owners who can afford to cut bait on unproductive players should consider Beasley as an option.
Sun Mar 8 201517:09Beasley signed second 10-day contract with Heat on Sunday

Beasley has already played in six games for the Heat, averaging 23.6 minutes on the court per contest. Given the Heat's current struggles with injuries and lack of depth in the frontcourt, it's entirely possible for the 26-year-old to get signed on for the rest of the season.

Beasley recorded a season-high of 18 points (9-17 FG, 0-2 FT) during Saturday's overtime victory against the Kings, while also adding seven rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot in 38 minutes.
Beasley continues to make his case to the Heat to sign him for the rest of the season, as he's currently on his second 10-day contract. It was also a season-high in minutes for the forward, as the team was dealing with injuries to Luol Deng (thigh), Goran Dragic (back) and Hassan Whiteside (ankle), causing Beasley to play more minutes than he's used to. He will likely move back to playing in the mid-to-low 20's for minutes once those players are back, although the Heat could continue to give him extended run if his production remains this high. He's a player to watch moving forward.
