Wiggins posted 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in 23 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 victory over the Wizards.

Wiggins wasn't a focal point as a scorer, but he knocked down three triples as part of a lopsided Heat victory. The forward recorded his second double-double of the season, with the first coming Jan. 25 against the Suns. Wiggins has now scored in double figures in 13 straight games, though he's reached the 20-point mark just once during that span.

Vukcevic logged 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 loss to the Heat.

Vukcevic returned to a bench role after starting Saturday but produced a similar result, totaling exactly 14 points for a third straight game. After entering this stretch shooting just 20.0 percent from beyond the arc across 30 appearances, the big man has caught fire from deep, converting 61.5 percent of his three-point attempts on 13 tries over the past three contests. With the Wizards moving on from Marvin Bagley at the trade deadline, Vukcevic now has a clear path to operating as the primary backup center behind Alex Sarr.

Sarr finished with 12 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes in Sunday's 132-101 loss to Miami.

Sarr didn't stand out as a scorer but still managed to fill up the stat sheet in a blowout loss. In what's been a productive season of progression for the 2024 first-round pick, the big man is now up to 12 double-doubles on the campaign, with three coming over his past six contests.

Adebayo had 22 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five steals and three assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 victory over the Wizards.

Adebayo delivered a well-rounded performance Sunday, tying Kasparas Jakucionis for the game high with 22 points while also swiping a season-high five steals in a blowout win. The big man has now recorded at least one steal in five straight games, his longest streak of the season. Coupled with his strong rebounding presence, Adebayo continues to stand out as a reliable defensive anchor in the paint.

Jakucionis accumulated 22 points (8-10 FG, 6-6 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 win over the Wizards.

Jakucionis delivered a breakout performance Sunday, tying Bam Adebayo for the game high with 22 points in a dominant Heat win. The rookie guard was perfect from beyond the arc while setting a new career high in scoring and adding three stocks. Jakucionis hasn't been a fixture in head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation this season, but outings like this could open the door to more opportunities for the No. 20 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Ware logged 19 points (8-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 30 minutes during Sunday's 132-101 win over the Wizards.

Ware made a significant impact as both a scorer and rebounder in a dominant Heat victory. Sunday marked his highest scoring output since Dec. 29 and the big man's most rebounds in a game since Dec. 21. His role had been more limited as of late, as Ware averaged 7.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in just 11.3 minutes per contest over the previous six contests.

Coward (shoulder) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors.

The rookie first-rounder did not play in Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers due to a shoulder injury. It appears Coward has been cleared to return Monday, which will likely lead to Jahmai Mashack reverting to a bench role. Coward has averaged 11.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 threes over 26.3 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Spencer (ankle) is available for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Spencer missed Saturday's game due to a right ankle injury, but he will return to the lineup Monday. Over his last five games, he holds averages of 15.0 points, 4.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 25.4 minutes per contest.

Wells (shoulder) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors.

Wells missed Saturday's game due to a right shoulder injury, but he will return to the lineup Monday. Wells has scored in double figures in each of his last five games, averaging 14.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 26.4 minutes per contest over that stretch.

Clayton is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors due to a right calf contusion.

Clayton may have picked up the injury during Saturday's loss to the Trail Blazers, when he finished with eight points, seven assists, four rebounds and three steals over 28 minutes. If the rookie first-rounder is unable to play, then Javon Small and Jahmai Mashack would be in line for more minutes off the bench.
