Heat's Nikola Jovic: Struggles in limited time
Jovic recorded two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 10 minutes in Saturday's 138-135 loss to the Pistons.
After missing four straight games due to a right hip impingement, Jovic was active Wednesday for the Heat's 106-103 win over the Bucks, but he was left out of the rotation in a coach's decision. Though he ended up displacing Simone Fontecchio on the second unit Saturday, Jovic struggled in his limited minutes, as he committed a team-high five turnovers during his time on the court. Even if head coach Erik Spoelstra elects to prioritize Jovic ahead of Fontecchio in future contests, Jovic could still be at risk of falling back out of the rotation in Monday's game against the Clippers if Jaime Jaquez (groin) is cleared to return to action after sitting out Saturday's contest.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Expected to play
Jovic (hip) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Jovic was previously listed as questionable, but he appears likely to return from a four-game absence. With Kel'el Ware playing so well alongside Bam Adebayo, Jovic isn't guaranteed many minutes against the Bucks.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Off injury report
Jovic (hip) will play in Wednesday's game against Milwaukee.
Jovic has missed four straight games with a pinched nerve in his right hip. He'll retake the hardwood Wednesday night, but he may not see as large of a role as he previously had. The Heat are now fully healthy, and the pairing of Kel'el Ware and Bam Adebayo has been a clear positive. Jovic is averaging 21.4 minutes per game this season.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Questionable vs. Bucks
Jovic (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Milwaukee, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Jovic has a chance to conclude a four-game absence with a hip injury. The Heat have four players listed questionable for Wednesday, so Pelle Larsson and Simone Fontecchio could be needed to soak up plenty of minutes, depending on who's available in the frontcourt.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Another absence coming
Jovic (hip) is out for Monday's game against Dallas, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Monday will mark a fourth straight absence for Jovic, whose next chance to return from a hip injury is Wednesday against the Bucks. With Jovic, Andrew Wiggins (hip) and Norman Powell (groin) sidelined, Pelle Larsson remains a worthwhile streaming option in deeper fantasy leagues Monday, even though Tyler Herro (ankle) is expected to make his season debut.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Missing third straight game
Jovic (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 76ers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Jovic will be sidelined for a third consecutive game due to a left hip injury, but he could be cleared to return for the second leg of the Heat's back-to-back set Monday against the Mavericks in Miami. The absences of Jovic and Andrew Wiggins (hip) means Jaime Jaquez and Simone Fontecchio will likely continue to see additional minutes off the bench.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Won't play Friday
Jovic (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Jovic is set to miss a second consecutive game with a hip injury. The forward didn't travel with the team to Chicago, per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, so he appears to be doubtful for Sunday's matchup in Philadelphia. Jaime Jaquez and Simone Fontecchio should both see a boost in minutes Friday.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Ruled out vs. Golden State
Jovic (hip) won't play Wednesday against the Warriors.
Jovic was bumped to doubtful earlier in the day, so this update comes as no surprise. Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez will presumably be asked to pick up the slack Wednesday in Jovic's absence.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Downgraded to doubtful
Jovic (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Jovic was previously listed as questionable, but it sounds like the Heat will exercise caution Wednesday. With Jovic likely to be sidelined, that could free up a bit more run for Pelle Larsson, Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Iffy for Wednesday
Jovic is questionable to play Wednesday against the Warriors due to a right hip impingement.
Jovic wasn't listed on the Heat's initial injury report released Tuesday, so he may have injured his hip at some point overnight or during the team's morning shootaround. The Heat will likely see how Jovic recovers over the afternoon before deciding on his status for Wednesday's game closer to the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. Should Jovic miss Thursday's contest along with Bam Adebayo (toe) -- who is also listed as questionable -- plenty of minutes in the Miami frontcourt would be up for grabs.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Quiet in win
Jovic totaled five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 15 minutes during Monday's 115-113 victory over the Knicks.
Ever since his 29-point game against Portland on Nov. 8, Jovic has not contributed much on the stat sheet, averaging 4.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 0.5 threes in his last four games, shooting a measly 25.9 percent from the field and 14.3 percent from three. Despite Bam Adebayo (toe) missing time, Jovic has been unable to capitalize, and as a result, he is seeing his role decrease.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Shines off bench in win Saturday
Jovic ended with 29 points (10-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 136-131 win over the Trail Blazers.
Jovic has surpassed the 10-point mark just twice this season, and both instances have come off the bench -- the other was a 20-point effort against the Grizzlies on Oct. 24. This was one of Jovic's most complete performances of his young NBA career, as he ended just one rebound and three assists away from a triple-double. The Serbian forward should continue to have a big role in the rotation after this impressive outing.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Will play Thursday
Jovic (hip) is good to go for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
With Norman Powell (groin) set to hit the sidelines Thursday evening, Jovic could see a bump in minutes and shot opportunities, so he's someone to consider deploying in daily fantasy leagues.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Upgraded to probable Thursday
Jovic (hip) has been upgraded to probable for Thursday's matchup with San Antonio.
Jovic suffered a hip contusion Tuesday against Charlotte, but his probable tag suggests he will play through it. He will continue to play behind Kel'el Ware as the backup big man. Jovic is averaging 11.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.5 steals, 0.3 blocks and 2.0 threes made on 48.3 percent from the field and 90 percent from the free-throw line through four games (one start) this season.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Questionable for Thursday
Jovic (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jovic is tending to a hip contusion in the aftermath of Tuesday's 144-117 win over Charlotte. The Heat would likely put more playing time on the plate of Kel'el Ware if Jovic has to sit out Thursday, and Simone Fontecchio could have a longer leash from the bench in this case.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Sees 22 minutes in win
Jovic produced 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 144-117 victory over Charlotte.
Pegged as a breakout candidate prior to Opening Night, Jovic has been a little underwhelming to open the season with the Heat opting to roll with a bigger lineup featuring Kel'el Ware next to Bam Adebayo. Through four regular-season contests, Jovic is averaging 11.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.0 three-pointers. He does have some room to grow and is still on pace to return 10th-round value in nine-category formats.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Scores 20 points off bench
Jovic ended with 20 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Friday's 146-114 win over Memphis.
Jovic shifted to the bench, making way for Kel'el Ware, who was elevated to starting center. Despite the move, Jovic delivered an encouraging performance, ending as one of two Heat players to score at least 20 points. It appears as though the starting lineup could change depending on the matchup, with Jovic and Ware likely to be the interchangeable pieces. With that said, he should be rostered in most leagues, given his playing time should be relatively consistent.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Bench role Friday
Jovic will come off the bench during Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Jovic was in the starting lineup for the season opener against the Magic. However, he'll retreat to the bench in favor of Kel'el Ware for this matchup in Memphis.
