Heat's Kel'el Ware: Decent output Sunday
Ware had 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and one block over 28 minutes during Sunday's 122-105 victory over the Hornets.
Ware finished just two boards shy of recording a double-double, but he also turned heads as a passer after delivering a new career-high mark in that category. Ware has scored in double digits in his last five appearances, a stretch in which he's averaging 14.2 points and 10.2 boards per contest.

Ware has recorded double-doubles in each of his last two starts. While the rookie big man has shown flashes of being a reliable two-way player when given enough minutes, he's also been extremely inconsistent, alternating solid performances with some not-so-good ones.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Back to bench Monday
Ware is not in Miami's starting lineup against New York on Monday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Ware is coming off a double-double against the Grizzlies on Saturday. He has started in all but one game he's played in since Jan. 21, but he'll come off the bench Monday while Jaime Jaquez enters the Heat's starting five. Ware should still see meaningful minutes in a reserve role behind Bam Adebayo.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Records double-double
Ware ended Saturday's 125-91 loss to the Grizzlies with 19 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes.
The Heat looked overmatched in this 34-point loss to the Grizzlies, but Ware was one of the few standout performers for Miami. The rookie out of Indiana posted his first double-double since Feb. 23, when he supplied12 points and 12 boards against the Bucks. Ware is certainly more valuable in dynasty formats than in standard leagues, but he will continue to have a decent floor as long as he remains in a starting role, which is likely to be the case for the rest of the season.

Back in action after a three-game absence due to a left knee sprain, Ware took back his spot in the starting five alongside Bam Adebayo. The rookie took a back seat on the offensive end to fellow starters Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Andrew Wiggins, but Ware piled up some useful numbers defensively.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Out Monday with knee sprain
Ware has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Wizards due to a right knee sprain.
Ware appeared to tweak his knee late in Sunday's 116-112 overtime loss to the Knicks, but he returned to action briefly thereafter while sporting a bit of a limp. He turned in one of his better performances of late with 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and six blocks over 29 minutes, but the Heat will elect to hold him out for the second leg of a back-to-back set. With the rookie sidelined, the Heat will likely move Bam Adebayo back to center and could reopen a spot in the rotation for Kevin Love to serve as Adebayo's backup. Kyle Anderson and Haywood Highsmith will be the primary candidates to absorb minutes at power forward.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Probable for Wednesday
Ware (ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Big night on glass
Ware totaled eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one block over 24 minutes during Monday's 98-86 loss to the Hawks.
The rookie center tied his career high in boards, and Ware likely would have established a new personal best if he hadn't sat out the entire fourth quarter. It's not clear what prompted that decision from coach Erik Spoelstra -- Ware came into the game nursing an ankle issue, but per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, no new injury was reported by the team. Ware did extend his streak of games with at least one rejection to seven, a stretch in which he's averaging 9.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 blocks.
