Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was back on the court Thursday against Washington and had a solid 20-point, nine-rebound effort in a 112-97 win. He shot 9-for-16 from the field and handed out two assists with two turnovers in 30 minutes. Adebayo missed two games with knee soreness but looked great straight away. He can rock the Wizards again in the next matchup. Washington has one of the poorest defensive records in the league against opposing centers, and they allow them to shoot 55 percent from the field. Miami's next week's schedule looks pretty tasty for Adebayo as well, with trips to Detroit and Minnesota coming up.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was held out of Wednesday's game as a precaution while he was nursing a knee bruise. The All-Star center will be out there on Thursday and there is no indication that he'll be limited. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable with Adebayo back in their lineups for this one. Dewayne Dedmon will head back to the bench and lose most of his streaming appeal.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. He has missed each of the last two games while dealing with a knee bruise. However, it sounds like the team was being cautious and Adebayo is fine going forward. There is no indication that Adebayo will be limited, so fantasy managers should feel confident putting him back in their lineups. Dewayne Dedmon should head back to the bench and lose a majority of his streaming value.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) and guard Kyle Lowry (rest) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This marks the second game in a row that Adebayo has missed due to a knee bruise. Dewayne Dedmon (groin) is cleared to play and will have decent DFS appeal in the starting five. Tyler Herro should move into the starting five with Lowry sitting out in this favorable matchup. Herro and Jimmy Butler (ankle) will be asked to carry the load on offense.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Adebayo has been playing through a knee bruise lately. It's assumed he'd be able to suit up Wednesday, but that depends on how he is feeling closer to game time. Otherwise, Dewayne Dedmon (groin) would likely move into the starting five, but he is questionable as well. That means, Omer Yurtseven could be forced into action, but he wouldn't be worth streaming in any formats. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday for more information.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) and small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will both be sidelined for Monday's game against Oklahoma City. Adebayo's absence will mark his second this season, while Butler will be down for a third consecutive game as he works through an ankle injury. With Markieff Morris (neck) also unavailable in the frontcourt, Dewayne Dedmon stands to see an elevated role at the center spot and will have sizable DFS appeal against a rebuilding Thunder squad. Butler being in street clothes has allowed Tyler Herro to slide into the starting five and claim top offensive duties, thereby elevating his DFS outlook as well. The next chance that Adebayo and Butler will have to return to action comes Wednesday vs. the Pelicans.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) will play against Utah. The 24-year-old has been a routine resident of the league's official injury report lately because of a left knee bruise. However, it hasn't stopped him from suiting up. With Jimmy Butler (ankle) out on Thursday against the Clippers, Adebayo stepped up admirably, finishing with 30 points and 11 rebounds throughout 39 minutes. Butler is in line to miss another one on Saturday, so Adebayo should continue to see an uptick in production. As a result, he commands attention in seasonal formats and DFS contests despite being matched up against the defensively sound Rudy Gobert.

Despite back-to-back losses to the Los Angeles teams, Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo has been an electric season-long and DFS option in the middle of Week 4. With Jimmy Butler (ankle) sitting this one out on Thursday, Adebayo provided 30 points on 18 shots, with 11 rebounds, a block, and a steal in a team-high 40 minutes. The two-time All-Defense big man has three consecutive double-doubles now, and took 38 shots over the last two games without Butler. If this is his kind of usage for Adebayo moving forward, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if Butler is cautious with his ankle injury and took some extra time to heal up.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) stuffed the stat sheet in a 120-117 overtime loss to the Lakers Wednesday. Adebayo was a menace on the defensive end, racking up a career-high six steals, while notching his second straight double-double with 28 points and 10 boards. Adebayo handled his usual workload with ease, and should be good to go for Thursday's favorable matchup with the Clippers, who have struggled against centers.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) and point/shooting guard Tyler Herro (back) have both been given the green light to suit up Wednesday against the Lakers. Adebayo is coming off his sixth double-double of the season Monday, but he did shoot a season-low 30 percent in that contest. Herro continues to be a second-unit dynamo for the Heat, averaging a career-high 20.3 points per game across his first 10 contests. With Miami playing the first leg of a Los Angeles back-to-back, fantasy managers will want to stay up to date on the duo's status ahead of Thursday's game with the Clippers, but for now, they're both cleared for a full-go in all season-long and DFS formats.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is dealing with a left knee bruise after hitting knees with an opposing player during Monday's contest. The organization might wait until closer to game time before making a final decision. Dewayne Dedmon would see more playing time if Adebayo is forced out. Dedmon would be an intriguing low cost DFS option for Wednesday's slate without Adebayo available.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo had a strong all-around game in the team's 125-110 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. He scored 22 points and racked up 13 rebounds, notching his fifth double-double over six games on the year. He also had two blocks and one assist. The fifth-year veteran shot 8-for-18 from the field and 6-for-7 from the free throw strike in the game. Adebayo's defensive numbers have been a bit down so far this year. Going into Tuesday's game, he had only recorded two blocks over five games. However, his scoring and rebounding have been on point through the young season as he's averaging 20.8 points and 13.8 rebounds per game, up from 18.7 and 9.0, respectively, from last year.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee), listed as probable, will play in Tuesday's game against the Mavericks. Not only will Adebayo be active, but he'll face off against the likes of Dwight Powell and Willie Cauley-Stein, with the Mavs down both Kristaps Porzingis (back) and Maxi Kleber (oblique). It could be a big scoring night for Adebayo, who is averaging career-highs in shot attempts and points per game, provided he's not on any minutes restrictions.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was a beast around the basket, putting up a season-high 26 points and 19 rebounds in Friday's win over Charlotte. Adebayo shot 10-for-16 from the field while making all six free-throws, giving him just five misses from the line this season. In welcome sight for fantasy managers, the star center also chipped in a pair of assists, steals, and one block. Adebayo is on-pace for career-highs in points, rebounds, and free-throw percentage but has seen a dip in his assists, steals, and blocks. The assist numbers may not rebound with Kyle Lowry in town, though an increase in defensive stats would leave Adebayo among the top fantasy centers in the game.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was listed as probable on Thursday, but the team wants to be cautious. This is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the Heat probably don't want to risk anything this early in the season. Dewayne Dedmon would likely slide into the starting five and have some DFS appeal without Adebayo available.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) and Kyle Lowry (elbow), listed as probable, are expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Hornets. Both Adebayo and Lowry should be out there, though the team could opt to sit one or both of them, as it is the first leg of a back-to-back. Adebayo has taken a hit in the playmaking department with Lowry in town, though the big man remains one of the premier threats around the rim, as well as a versatile defender. The veteran Lowry should continue to be an underrated source of assists with so many offensive weapons surrounding him in Miami.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo scored a team-high 24 points in Wednesday's win over the Nets, shooting 8-for-17 from the field and 8-for-9 at the charity stripe. He pulled down nine rebounds and recorded two turnovers in 30 minutes. It was an oddly quiet game for Adebayo, who generally does a bit of everything for Miami. For example, he hadn't finished without a single assist since November 2019. Adebayo has a dream matchup against Memphis on Saturday coming up and Friday's meeting with Charlotte isn't a bad spot either. Opposing centers are shooting a whopping 72 percent against the Grizzlies so far, while the Hornets are allowing them to shoot nearly 58 percent and centers have also notched a lot of blocks against them.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo helped the team defeat the Orlando Magic 107-90 on Monday. He scored 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to notch his third consecutive double-double to start the year. He shot 4-for-9 from the field and 8-for-8 from the free throw line in the game. He also had two assists and a steal. The 24-year-old is one of the league's most efficient big men. Last year, he shot 57% from the field and 79.9% from the free throw strike. He's also a great passer as he averaged 5.4 assists per game last year.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo was a beast on the glass with 16 rebounds in Saturday's overtime loss to Indiana and he added 17 points to register his second double-double of the campaign. Adebayo went 6-for-15 from the floor and 5-for-6 at the charity stripe. Bam coughed up the ball five times in 39 minutes and ended up completing his line with three assists, one steal and one block. Adebayo has developed really well over the past couple of seasons and looks set to take another step forward in 2021-22. He's been strong so far and can go for another double-double in a good matchup against Orlando on Monday.

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo opened up his 2021-22 campaign with a strong double-double against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. He scored 20 points and grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds. He was extremely efficient from the field, knocking down nine of his 13 field goal attempts. However, he struggled a bit at the line, shooting just 2-for-5. He didn't come up with any blocked shots in the contest, but he recorded a steal and dished out an assist. Adebayo is one of the league's most versatile big men and he should contribute for fantasy managers across the board this year. Next up for Adebayo and the Heat is a matchup against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday.
