Vincent registered 21 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 101-92 loss to the Knicks.
Vincent didn't miss in the first half, going 4-of-4 from the field and 2-of-2 from beyond the arc for 11 points while adding two rebounds and two steals. The point guard remained hot after the break, knocking down four of seven shot attempts for another 10 points, though it wasn't enough as Miami went on to lose its third straight. Vincent, who came in questionable to play Wednesday due to back spasms, led the Heat with 21 points in the contest on 72.7 percent shooting from the floor after shooting just 18.1 percent over his previous two games. It was only his sixth time breaking the 20-point mark this season.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Cleared to play Wednesday
Rotowire
Vincent (back) will be available for Wednesday's game at New York, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Vincent landed on the injury report due to back spasms, but he'll ultimately play through the issue in what will be his 44th consecutive appearance. The UC Santa Barbara product has hit a cold spell of late, scoring six or fewer points in four of his last five games. During that stretch, he's shooting just 36.1 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from downtown (4.2 3PA/G).

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Questionable Wednesday
Rotowire
Vincent is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to back spasms.
Vincent hasn't missed a game since Dec. 23, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Wednesday due to his back issue. The 26-year-old hasn't been particularly effective recently, averaging 7.0 points in 22.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances. However, Victor Oladipo and Tyler Herro should see increased run if Vincent is unavailable, particularly since Kyle Lowry (knee) has already been ruled out.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Late-season woes continue
Rotowire
Vincent recorded two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 106-92 loss to the Raptors.
Vincent remained in the starting lineup Tuesday despite his recent lack of production. Although he has averaged almost 28 minutes per night over the past two months, Vincent is well outside the top 250 in nine-category leagues. While it appears that he will continue to start, fantasy managers would be better served to target a player with more upside as a potential streaming candidate.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Starting against Toronto
Rotowire
Vincent (back) is starting against the Raptors on Tuesday, according to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald .
Vincent was a late addition to the injury report, but he'll give it a go Tuesday night. With Kyle Lowry active, Vincent has been seeing minutes in the low-to-mid 20s recently.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Picks up late questionable tag
Rotowire
Vincent is considered questionable for Wednesday's game due to back spasms, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Vincent's late addition to the injury report doesn't bode well for his chances to play against the Raptors. With the Heat scheduled for back-to-back games Tuesday and Wednesday, the staff may opt to hold him out Tuesday with the hopes his back will calm down over the next 24 hours. If that's the case, Kyle Lowry could draw his first start since Feb. 2, and Victor Oladipo could jump in for some minutes as well.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Efficient in win over Knicks
Rotowire
Vincent ended with 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and three assists across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 win over the Knicks.
Vincent missed just four shots from the floor and registered double-digit scoring figures for the fourth time across his last six appearances. Despite being a starter regularly over the last few weeks, Vincent plays a secondary role in an offense that also features names such as Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Vincent is averaging 9.8 points per game while shooting 39.4 percent from the field over his last 21 appearances, all of them as a starter.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Productive in Monday's start
Rotowire
Vincent produced 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 119-115 win over the Jazz.
The fourth-year guard has held onto a starting spot the last couple games while Kyle Lowry gets his legs back under him, and Vincent has scored in double digits in both to justify the decision by head coach Erik Spoelstra. He scored in single digits in six straight prior to that, however, and there's a good chance he could find himself on the bench sooner rather than later as the Heat jockey for playoff positioning over the final weeks.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Modest production in win
Rotowire
Vincent had nine points (3-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 win over the Hawks.
Vincent continues to fill in for Kyle Lowry (knee), but he's hit a bump in the road, posting just 6.2 points on 28.0 percent shooting over his past six games. Before his recent slump, he had posted at least 15 points four times and 20-plus points twice over six straight starts, so there's hope the undrafted point guard can get back to that level of production soon. It's unclear when Lowry will be cleared for action, so Vincent should have plenty of opportunities to get back on track moving forward.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Terrible performance Friday
Rotowire
Vincent recorded two points (1-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 23 minutes during Friday's 128-99 loss to the Bucks.
Vincent couldn't get anything going in the loss, turning in one of his worst performances of the season. He certainly wasn't alone Friday, as the blowout loss resulted in limited minutes for all of Miami's starters. Kyle Lowry (knee) remains without a timetable for his return, meaning Vincent should see plenty of run as the starting point guard, at least for the foreseeable future. Despite this effort, he remains a viable asset in all competitive formats.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Decent performance in loss
Rotowire
Vincent closed Wednesday's 116-105 loss to the Nets with 21 points (6-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 35 minutes.
With a number of guards still out for Miami, Vincent continues to get the opportunity, and he capitalized on it again Wednesday night. His 21 points were second only to Bam Adebayo for the Heat, and he knocked down another three triples while adding some excellent free-throw percentage volume. Considering he mostly plays the point guard position, one thing the 26-year-old could improve on is his assist numbers. He hasn't exceeded four dimes in a game since mid-January, and he's done it only three times all season.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Set to play Monday
Rotowire
Vincent (ankle) will play Monday against Denver, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
The Heat are going through their usual song and dance with the injury report, which once again included Vincent with a "probable" designation heading into the day. Despite the team's insistence on keeping his name on the injury report, Vincent's ankle is far from a concern. He missed a stretch of games in December, but Monday will mark his 25th consecutive appearance. With Kyle Lowry (knee) sidelined again, Vincent should be set for another start at point guard.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Listed as probable
Rotowire
Vincent is probable for Monday's matchup against Denver due to right ankle soreness.
Vincent continues to battle an ankle issue, but he's appeared in 24 straight games and doesn't appear to be in danger of sitting out Monday. He's drawn four straight starts with Kyle Lowry (knee) sidelined and has averaged 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals in 36.8 minutes during that stretch.

Heat's Gabe Vincent: Scores 20 against Orlando
Rotowire
Vincent ended Saturday's 107-103 overtime win over Orlando with 20 points (6-12 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 41 minutes.
Vincent was one of three Heat players to reach 20 points on the day, and while he offered limited production in other areas, he made up for it by getting his offense in efficient fashion. With Kyle Lowry (knee) sidelined through the All-Star break and Victor Oladipo (ankle) also looking iffy for the Heat's upcoming two games this week, Vincent should be able to take on all the minutes he can handle as the Heat's starting point guard. The Heat have been deploying rookie Jamaree Bouyea -- who was recently signed to a 10-day contract -- as Vincent's primary backup for the past two games.
