Heat's Tyler Herro: Available for Saturday's contest
Rotowire
Herro (quadriceps) is available for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Herro is set to return to the starting lineup Saturday after sitting out the last two games with left quad soreness. Before the injury, he was averaging 24.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists while shooting 55.7 percent from the floor in his past five games. His return, alongside Norman Powell (groin), puts the Heat backcourt at full strength as Miami seeks its eighth straight win.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Herro (quadriceps) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Herro is in danger of missing a third consecutive game Saturday, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround. If he's ruled out again, Pelle Larsson and Davion Mitchell will likely continue to split his touches and minutes.

Rotowire
Herro (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
This will be the second straight game on the inactive list for Herro, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Magic. Davion Mitchell and Pelle Larsson will continue to help fill the void with Herro sidelined.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Herro is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks due to left quadriceps soreness.
Herro could test out the issue during Thursday's pregame warmups before the Heat reach a decision on the star guard's status. If he cannot suit up, Davion Mitchell and Pelle Larsson would both be worthy of streaming attention in most fantasy leagues.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Not playing Tuesday
Rotowire
Herro (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
It wasn't a good sign to see Herro added to the injury report late due to left quad soreness. The veteran guard will indeed sit out Tuesday's game, and his next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Bucks. The Heat will be without Herro, Norman Powell (groin), Andrew Wiggins (toe) and Kel'el Ware (shoulder), so more playing time will be available for the likes of Jaime Jaquez, Pelle Larsson, Myron Gardner and Simone Fontecchio.

Herro is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards with left quadriceps soreness.
Herro was a late addition to the injury report, which is an ominous sign in fantasy hoops. If Herro is unable to give it a go, Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez could be more involved for the Heat.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Flirts with triple-double in win
Rotowire
Herro recorded 33 points (11-20 FG, 8-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 128-120 victory over the Hornets.
Herro was dialed in from distance, drilling his first six attempts from beyond the arc, and he didn't miss his first three-point attempt until late in the third quarter. He got whatever he wanted throughout the game and finished with an impressive plus-19 differential in the narrow win. The Heat have now won four in a row, but they'll have a tough test against the Pistons on Sunday.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Scores 25 points in win
Rotowire
Herro closed with 25 points (9-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and five assists across 31 minutes during Thursday's 126-110 victory over Brooklyn.
Herro was part of the starting lineup for a third straight contest, and it's clear he's going to remain in that role as long as he stays healthy -- though that has been a big "if" with him all season long. Herro is trending in the right direction from a scoring perspective as well, and he's tallied 20-plus points in three of his last four contests.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Scores 22 in blowout win
Rotowire
Herro chipped in 22 points (8-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 victory over the Nets.
Herro is back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in his first four outings since the All-Star break, but his production remains steady. He's now scored at least 18 points in three straight games and is finding his shooting stroke, going 7-for-18 from three-point range in that span. Herro should be a strong bet to hover around the 20-point mark on a steady basis as long as he stays in the first unit, as he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Enters starting lineup
Rotowire
Herro will enter the starting lineup Saturday against the Rockets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
With Norman Powell considered week-to-week due to a groin injury, Herro will become the primary playmaker and scorer for Miami, a role he's familiar with. The star guard recorded 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 loss to Philadelphia.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Nets 25 points with seven dimes
Rotowire
Herro supplied 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 124-117 loss to Philadelphia.
This was the most minutes, points, triples and assists that Herro has had since coming back from a rib injury, so it'll be interesting to see if he finally returns to the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockets. Pelle Larsson finished with nine points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and two turnovers across 33 minutes in the defeat.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Shooting woes in loss
Rotowire
Herro posted 14 points (5-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, two rebounds and one block over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 128-117 loss to Milwaukee.
Herro was held scoreless in the first and third quarters, and he finished with just 14 points for a second consecutive contest. He remained on a minutes restriction off the bench, and it will be interesting to see if he continues to operate with restrictions during Thursday's game against Philadelphia. The star guard impressed in his return from a 15-game absence due to a rib injury during Friday's win over the Hawks, though he has shot just 10-for-32 from the field over his last two appearances. Despite struggling with efficiency in those two outings, he still dished out six assists in each of them.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Suits up in back-to-back
Rotowire
Herro finished with 14 points (5-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and six assists in 23 minutes during Saturday's 136-120 win over the Grizzlies.
Herro put together an efficient performance relative to his time on the floor. It's a positive all-around showing after the Heat guard missed 15 games in a row due to a ribs injury. The fact that he was available for both games in a back-to-back set upon his return to the lineup is a positive sign. He may be on pace to rejoin the starting lineup soon.

Rotowire

Herro returned from a 15-game absence due to a rib injury against the Hawks on Friday, playing 23 minutes off the bench and finishing with 24 points, four rebounds, three assists and one steal in a 128-97 win.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Drops 24 points in return
Rotowire
Herro (ribs) finished with 24 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 23 minutes off the bench in Friday's 128-97 win over the Hawks.
Herro returned to the hardwood following a 15-game absence due to a right costochondral injury to the ribs and operated under a minutes restriction. The star guard got off to a strong start, scoring 16 of his 24 points in the first half before ending as the game's leading scorer. Given his lengthy absence, Herro could continue to come off the bench for a few more games while the Heat look to manage his minutes carefully. His status will be worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's game against Memphis, as he could be a candidate to sit out the second leg of the Heat's back-to-back set.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Probable for Friday
Rotowire
Herro (ribs) is probable for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Presumably, Herro responded well to practice on Thursday. Herro has missed the past 15 games for Miami, so it's fair to expect restrictions when he's cleared to return. It's worth mentioning that Friday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so it will be interesting to see if a maintenance day is considered Saturday.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Close to returning
Rotowire
Herro (ribs) is expected to practice Thursday, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Herro has been out for 15 straight games due to a right costochondral injury to his ribs, but he's finally nearing a return to game action. More light on the star guard's status should arrive either following the session or when Miami releases its next official injury report Thursday, but Herro can be tentatively labeled as questionable for Friday's contest in Atlanta for now. His eventual presence could push Kasparas Jakucionis out of the Heat's rotation entirely.
