Robinson posted 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Pistons.
Robinson provided a lift beyond the arc in Monday's marathon game, finishing as one of two Heat players with three or more threes while ending as one of six players with a double-digit point total. Robinson has connected on three or more threes in eight contests, and he has reached double figures in scoring in three of his last four outings.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Another strong scoring effort
Rotowire
Robinson registered 23 points (7-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 122-113 victory over the Cavaliers.
After scoring 19 points in Saturday's win over the Suns, Robinson posted another strong scoring outing with 23 points and four three-pointers Sunday. In his last 11 contests (10 starts), the veteran sharpshooter is draining 41.9 percent of his shots from long distance while averaging 13.3 points, 2.9 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 2.8 threes in 26.2 minutes per game. As long as Robinson sticks with Miami's starting lineup over Terry Rozier at shooting guard, he'll remain a decent source of points and triples for fantasy managers in deep leagues.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Wakes up with 19 points
Rotowire
Robinson finished with 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 win over the Suns.
Miami's decision to move Terry Rozier to the second unit is still a bit of a head-scratcher, but Robinson proved his worthiness as a starter with a productive night of sharpshooting. The frequent three-point threat drilled five shots from downtown in the win and was a perfect complement to Tyler Herro in the backcourt. There's no sign of a switch from the current rotation, so Robinson deserves a closer look moving forward.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Shooting woes continue
Rotowire
Robinson finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 134-93 win over the Lakers.
Robinson started for the eighth straight game, but he once again struggled to get anything going on the offensive end of the floor. Despite starting, his playing time has been more like that of a bench player, exceeding 30 minutes only twice in the eight-game stretch of starts. Robinson remains a viable perimeter threat, albeit one who has seen his consistency fall off in recent seasons.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Available Friday
Rotowire
Robinson (lower body) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.
Robinson will play through left glute tightness in Friday's NBA Cup matchup. The 30-year-old has started in each of the club's last four games, during which he has averaged 13.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting 42.9 percent from beyond the arc across 26.0 minutes per game.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Probable for Friday
Rotowire
Robinson is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors due to left glute tightness.
Even with Terry Rozier available, Robinson drew another start during Wednesday's win over the Hornets and scored a season-high 22 points (7-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT). Over his last nine appearances (four starts), Robinson has averaged 13.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals in 25.7 minutes per game.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Catches fire in win
Rotowire
Robinson amassed 22 points (7-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 win over the Hornets.
Robinson dropped a season-high 22 points, continuing to start over Terry Rozier. The sharpshooter has now scored double-digits in four of the past five games, connecting on 17 total three-pointers. While his exact role remains somewhat clouded, it's safe to say the Heat need his scoring right now. Robinson should continue to play meaningful minutes, at least while his shot is falling.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Reaches 20 points off bench in loss
Rotowire
Robinson finished Sunday's 119-110 loss to the Pacers with 20 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes.
Robinson saw extended time off the bench in Sunday's contest due to the Heat being shorthanded, leading all bench players in the defeat in scoring and threes made in a 20-point showcase. Robinson matched a season high in scoring while posting his second outing of the year with at least five threes. Notably, all three of Robinson's double-digit scoring efforts this year have taken place over the last five games.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Shooting woes in loss
Rotowire
Robinson supplied 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt), six rebounds, four steals and three assists across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 123-121 overtime loss to the Pistons.
The sharpshooter led the bench in scoring alongside Jaime Jaquez, though Robinson struggled with efficiency in the loss. The 30-year-old scored in double figures for only the second time this year, and while he is shooting an efficient 37.5 percent from deep, he has struggled from inside the arc while shooting only 38.0 percent from the field. Through nine regular-season appearances, Robinson has averaged 9.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 18.6 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Robinson finished Friday's 135-122 loss to the Nuggets with 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes.
Robinson set season highs in made field goals, made three-pointers and points during Friday's loss while playing at least 20 minutes for just the second time this year. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the contest early, and if he misses time, Robinson may have increased offensive responsibilities moving forward.

Rotowire
Robinson scored nine points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and added a rebound and a block through 15 minutes in Wednesday's 115-112 loss to Phoenix.
Robinson hit three three-pointers for a second straight game and is averaging 1.8 threes on 5.2 attempts this season (35.5 percent). While Robinson's efficiency has dipped following last season, it is worth noting he is playing significantly fewer minutes and has a reduced role to begin this season.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Quiet in victory Monday
Rotowire
Robinson ended with six points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and one rebound over 16 minutes during Monday's 106-98 victory over Detroit.
Robinson was used sparingly off the bench, a trend that appears likely to stick moving forward. He has scored a combined 16 points over the first three games, making him a non-factor in most fantasy formats. Other than limited value as a three-point streamer, Robinson can be ignored for the time being.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Efficient from downtown Sunday
Rotowire
Robinson posted 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 18 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason win over the Pelicans.
Robinson was extremely efficient while tying Tyler Herro for the team high in points. Herro and Robinson also tied CJ McCollum for the game high in three-pointers made, but Robinson was much more efficient from downtown. The sharpshooter is expected to come off the bench and will have to compete for playing time with Josh Richardson (shoulder) behind Herro.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Fails to score in three minutes
Rotowire
Robinson finished Monday's 102-88 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist over three minutes.
Robinson hit rock bottom in the loss, failing to score in only three minutes of playing time. It's a far cry from what he did during the regular season and highlights how unimpactful he can be. The Heat will now head back to Boston where they will attempt to extend the series beyond five games.

Heat's Duncan Robinson: Cleared for Game 1
Rotowire
Robinson (back) is available for Sunday's Game 1 versus Boston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Robinson was unavailable for Miami's Play-In Tournament loss to Philadelphia but returned in a win-or-go-home contest versus Chicago on Friday, dropping eight points in 12 minutes of a blowout victory. He's a candidate to step into a larger workload Sunday, especially with Terry Rozier (neck) and Jimmy Butler (knee) out. However, the extent to which he'll play is unclear after experiencing aggravations with his ongoing facet syndrome in recent weeks.
