Heat's Kyle Lowry: Available to play
Rotowire
Lowry (knee) will be available to play Sunday versus the Pistons.
Lowry is back from his rest day and should be ready for roughly 20 minutes off the bench. The Heat are still being cautious with him as he works his way back from a lengthy absence, so he's not an ideal target in daily fantasy leagues, but he's fine to activate in season-long settings. Victor Oladipo could be headed for a DNP-CD with Lowry active.

Heat's Kyle Lowry: Questionable Sunday
Rotowire
Lowry (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game in Detroit.
Lowry sat out Saturday's game, as he's not yet been cleared for back-to-back sets, but now it appears there's a chance he could miss Sunday's game as well. With this game being the second of a back-to-back, the Heat won't host a shootaround, so Lowry will essentially be a game-time call. If he's not able to give it a go, Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo will benefit.

Heat's Kyle Lowry: Out Saturday, should play Sunday
Rotowire
Lowry (knee) will not play Saturday against the Bulls but is expected to be available in the second game of the back-to-back set Sunday versus the Pistons, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
The Heat's coaching staff continues to make sure Lowry feels good as the regular season winds down, giving him some rest to ensure he'll be available when the playoffs fire up in April. Lowry is just three games removed from an extended absence due to a left knee issue, so it's not surprising the team is being careful with the veteran.

Heat's Kyle Lowry: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Lowry (knee) will not play in Saturday's game against the Bulls, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Lowry will sit out the first leg of Miami's back-to-back set Saturday due to left knee soreness. Lowry missed 15 games due to the left knee issue before returning to action for Miami's last three contests. Gabe Vincent should remain in the starting lineup with Lowry sidelined while Victor Oladipo should resume backup point guard duties. Lowry should be back in action Sunday against Detroit.

Heat's Kyle Lowry: Iffy against Chicago
Rotowire
Lowry is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Bulls due to left knee soreness.
Lowry has come off the bench in Miami's last three games after returning from his knee injury. However, with the Heat playing a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, it wouldn't be surprising for the veteran point guard to be held out of at least one of those contests. Either way, Gabe Vincent will likely remain in the starting lineup.

Heat's Kyle Lowry: Logs 20 minutes off bench
Rotowire
Lowry registered eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 138-119 victory over the Grizzlies.
Lowry continues to come off the bench for the Heat, playing as the backup to Gabe Vincent. The medical staff is cautiously approaching Lowry's playing time, easing him back in slowly after a prolonged injury absence. Despite having a plethora of top 50 seasons in his bag, Lowry's days of being a fantasy-relevant asset appear to be behind him. He can be considered for streaming purposes, but anything more than that feels unlikely.

Heat's Kyle Lowry: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Lowry is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies due to left knee soreness, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Lowry has suited up for back-to-back games after returning from a month-long absence due to a knee injury. He played 19 minutes during Monday's win after playing 36 on Saturday, so the Heat will proceed cautiously to prevent potential setbacks. If Lowry is downgraded to out, Victor Oladipo, Max Strus and Duncan Robinson would be candidates for increased minutes.

Heat's Kyle Lowry: Not listed in starting five
Rotowire
Lowry will come off the bench Monday against the Jazz.
As anticipated, Lowry will serve as a reserve in Monday's clash, paving the way for Gabe Vincent and Tyler Herro to man the backcourt. Lowry logged 36 minutes in his return Saturday against the Magic, but he could see a lighter workload Monday after head coach Erik Spoelstra noted he's going to be better about monitoring the point guard's minutes.

Heat's Kyle Lowry: Expected to come off bench again
Rotowire
Head coach Erik Spoelstra indicated that the plan is for Lowry (knee) to come off the bench during Monday's matchup against the Jazz, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Lowry returned to action Saturday following a 15-game absence due to left knee soreness and played 36 minutes. However, Spoelstra regretted keeping the veteran point guard on the floor for so long, saying, "I'm going to do a better job [Monday] than I did in Orlando." This is discouraging news for fantasy managers who held on to Lowry during his lengthy absence, and it's currently unclear how long he'll remain limited.

Lowry (knee) is available for Monday's matchup against Utah.
Lowry has been upgraded from questionable to available and will suit up for a second consecutive contest following a 15-game absence due to left knee soreness. The veteran point guard came off the bench Saturday and didn't appear limited across 36 minutes, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him reclaim his starting role Monday.

Heat's Kyle Lowry: Questionable Monday
Rotowire
Lowry (left knee soreness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Lowry returned from a 15-game absence Saturday and logged 36 minutes off the bench, but now he finds himself back on the injury report with the same ailment that forced him to spend so much time on the sidelines. It's unclear if he experienced a setback in his return, but managers will need to check back on his status closer to Monday's tip. If he can't give it a go, Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo will benefit.

Heat's Kyle Lowry: Gets major minutes in return
Rotowire
Lowry (knee) tallied 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block across 36 minutes Saturday in the Heat's 126-114 overtime loss to the Magic.
Since Lowry had missed the Heat's previous 15 games and was coming off the bench Saturday, the prevailing expectation was that his minutes would be limited as he suited up for the first time in five weeks. Instead, Lowry ended up handling his biggest workload since Dec. 10, with Tyler Herro (26 minutes) ceding some playing time to the veteran point guard while battling food poisoning. Herro should be ready to reclaim a 30-plus-minute role Monday against the Jazz, but Lowry could still have a path to a sizable role of his own if Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra elects to marginalize Gabe Vincent, who had averaged a meager 5.0 points in 25.2 minutes per game over a stretch of six outings before logging 37 minutes Saturday. Based on the playing time he received in his first game back, Lowry looks like a strong pickup in most fantasy leagues where he might have been sitting on the waiver wire in light of his prolonged absence.
