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.

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

Pippen missed the second half of the team's back-to-back set Saturday as he returns to action following an extended absence due to a left great toe injury. He will return to the lineup Monday after recording 13 points, six assists, three rebounds and a steal in 22 minutes in his season debut Friday.

Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Aldama is set to miss a third consecutive game due to a right knee injury, and his last opportunity to play before the All-Star game is Wednesday against the Nuggets. Kyle Anderson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper figure to be the top candidates to start Monday in Aldama's absence.

Cryer (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Cryer will miss a seventh straight game due to a left hamstring injury. His absence doesn't figure to impact the rotation.
