  • Nikola Jovic records 8/7/4 line in Game 5 loss
    Nikola Jovic accounted for eight points (3-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, and four assists in 27 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics.

    Advice: After reaching double figures in each of the series’ first three games, Jovic faltered in Games 4 and 5. That was the tale of his season, with the second-year forward failing to provide consistent production. It has been said that Miami likes Jovic’s potential, but that didn’t always result in extended minutes this season. He averaged just 19.5 minutes per game in 46 appearances this season, ranking outside the top 250 regarding fantasy value. Unless the Heat were to make drastic changes to their roster, Jovic isn’t a player who should be selected in most leagues. However, he could offer streaming potential at points during the season.

  • Rare appearance Tuesday
    Walker notched one assist over five minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 loss to Milwaukee in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Walker played a handful of minutes during the Game 5 blowout loss in Milwaukee. Despite flashes throughout the season, Walker has been an afterthought for meaningful minutes. The two teams will line up again Thursday, as the Pacers try to wrap things up on their home court. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:31 pm
     
  • Good to go Tuesday
    Sims (shoulder) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 agains the 76ers.

    Advice: Sims has been upgraded from probable to available Tuesday despite right shoulder inflammation. However, the 25-year-old big man has yet to receive any playing time in the first four games of the series. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:48 pm
     
  • Remains out
    Prosper (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Prosper will miss a third straight game due to a left ankle sprain. He played only one minute during Game 1 and didn't see the court in Game 2, so his prolonged absence hasn't impacted Dallas' rotation. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:24 am
     
  • Barely noticeable Monday
    Love amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in six minutes during Monday's 102-88 loss to the Celtics in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

    Advice: Love logged just six minutes, failing to have any sort of real impact against an impressive Celtics squad. At this point in his career, Love doesn't have enough in the tank to provide Miami with meaningful production. As has been the case for the last few years, Love will not be a viable fantasy option next season. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:47 pm
