Heat's Kel'el Ware: Records double-double in win
Ware notched 16 points (7-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 win over the Pelicans.
Ware's second season has been up and down, as he's been working his way back from a hamstring strain, but he's finally beginning to show some signs of life with two double-doubles in his past three games. It remains to be seen if the Heat are sticking with the 2024 first-rounder in the starting lineup out of the All-Star break, and Ware is still searching for some consistency. He's averaging 11.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 19.6 minutes per game over his last six outings.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Slated to start Monday
Ware is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Jazz, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Fresh off a double-double in Sunday's blowout win, Ware will make his first start since Jan. 6 on Monday. In 27 starts this season, the big man is averaging 13.2 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 27.2 minutes per contest.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Double-double off bench
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.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Bounces back in win
Ware finished Sunday's 134-91 win over the Bulls with 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes.
After logging three minutes in Saturday's game, Ware bounced back nicely Sunday and likely gave the coaching staff something to think about. The second-year center has a lot of per-minute upside, so if his minutes consistently begin to trend up, he could be right back on the fantasy radar. It will be especially worthwhile to monitor Ware's minutes once Nikola Jovic (hip) returns to the lineup.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Available to play
Ware (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game in Chicago, Will Gottlieb of AllCHGO.com reports.
Ware saw just seven minutes off the bench in his return from a four-game absence Wednesday, so it'll be interesting to see if he's cleared for much more than that Thursday night. Ware will be a risky target in daily fantasy leagues as he works his way back from the hamstring injury.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Likely to play Thursday
Ware is probable for Thursday's game against the Bulls with a right hamstring strain.
The second-year big man is likely to play the second half of Miami's back-to-back set. Ware logged seven minutes during his return to action from a four-game absence against Orlando on Wednesday. Over his past seven outings, Ware is trending down, averaging 7.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 14.2 minutes per game while shooting 46.8 percent from the floor.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Light role in return
Ware (hamstring) logged seven minutes and recorded four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in Wednesday's 133-124 loss to the Magic.
Ware had missed the Heat's previous four games due to a right hamstring strain before returning to action Wednesday. With the Heat riding starting center Bam Adebayo for 39 minutes in the loss, little playing time was left over for Ware, who typically doesn't play alongside Adebayo when Miami is close to full strength in the frontcourt. With season-long averages of 11.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 1.2 three-pointers, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 steals in just 23.4 minutes per game, Ware has undeniable fantasy upside when given extended run, but he'll likely struggle to reach the 20-minute mark on a regular basis so long as Adebayo is healthy.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Listed available Wednesday
Ware (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against Orlando.
The second-year big man is putting a four-game absence with a hamstring strain in the rearview mirror Wednesday. His return likely means fewer minutes will be open to Simone Fontecchio and Nikola Jovic in the Miami frontcourt. Over his last six appearances, Ware has averaged 7.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists in 15.5 minutes per game.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Questionable for Wednesday
Ware (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Ware has missed the past four games for Miami, but he practiced Tuesday, which is an encouraging sign for his status for Wednesday's game. We'll have a better idea on his availability based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is able to get back out there, Nikola Jovic's minutes would dip.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Will miss at least two more games
Ware returned to Miami for treatment on his strained right hamstring Thursday, and he won't play in the Heat's back-to-back set against the Jazz on Saturday and the Suns on Sunday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Ware is set to miss his fourth consecutive contest Sunday, and his next opportunity to play will come at home against the Magic on Wednesday. With the second-year big man sidelined, Nikola Jovic will likely see increased playing time behind Bam Adebayo.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Receiving treatment in Miami
Ware (hamstring) has returned to Miami to receive treatment, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Ware has already been ruled out for Thursday's clash against the Trail Blazers, but the fact that he's left the team puts his status for Saturday in Utah and Sunday in Phoenix in serious doubt. The team returns home from the current road trip after Sunday's matchup, so it's possible the big man will remain out until then. The Heat should have additional clarification on his availability over the next day or so.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Ruled out Thursday
Ware (hamstring) will not play Thursday against Portland.
Ware was previously listed as questionable, so fantasy managers can assume that he's day-to-day. With Ware out for a second straight contest, the Heat will likely deploy some smaller lineups with Nikola Jovic possibly seeing a bump in minutes.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Questionable for Thursday
Ware (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game in Portland, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Ware missed Tuesday's win over Sacramento with a sore hamstring, but there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there for Thursday's game in Portland. If he does return, Nikola Jovic's minutes would likely dip. Check back closer to Thursday's tip for official word on Ware's status.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Won't play Tuesday
Ware (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Sacramento.
Ware is dealing with some tightness in his hamstring, so the Heat will err on the side of caution with their second-year center on the second leg of a back-to-back set. His absence will open up minutes for Nikola Jovic. For now, Ware should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Portland.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Questionable with tight hamstring
Ware is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to right hamstring tightness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Ware is in danger of missing the second half of a back-to-back set after posting 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Monday's 135-112 loss to the Warriors. If the second-year big man is ultimately unable to suit up, the Heat would depend heavily upon Bam Adebayo at center Tuesday. Nikola Jovic could also see an expanded role in this case.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Efficient 15 points off bench
Ware ended Monday's 135-112 loss to the Warriors with 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes.
While Monday was an efficient showing, Ware's fantasy ceiling remains capped by the presence of Bam Adebayo at center. Ware has come off the bench in six consecutive games, failing to log at least 20 minutes in any contest, though his upside is high enough that he remains worth rostering in most leagues.
