Adebayo is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks due to a hip contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Adebayo has had plenty of playing time over his last 10 appearances, averaging 18.1 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 36.8 minutes per game. However, he's dealing with a hip contusion ahead of Saturday's matchup, and it's unclear whether he'll be available. If the 25-year-old sits out, Cody Zeller and Kevin Love are candidates to see increased run.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Grabs game-high 11 boards
Rotowire
Adebayo recorded nine points (4-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 101-92 loss to the Knicks.
Adebayo was well on his way to a double-double entering the break with seven points, four rebounds and three assists over the first two quarters. However, the Heat's big man added just two points in the second half on 1-of-4 shooting from the floor while grabbing another seven boards. He finished with a game-high 11 rebounds, his second game in a row with at least 10 boards, but fell one point shy of a double-double as Miami fell to the Knicks on the road. It was the first time all season that Adebayo failed to score in double figures.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Limited production in loss
Rotowire
Adebayo produced 16 points (8-14 FG), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 129-100 loss to the Nets.
Adebayo did a little bit of everything during Saturday's loss, but he's struggled to post dominating stat lines of late, averaging just 18.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 36.1 minutes over his last 10 appearances. This certainly isn't horrible production, but fantasy managers and Heat fans are expecting more out of the sixth-year starter, who's been on the verge of superstardom over the last few seasons.

Rotowire
Adebayo notched 22 points (7-12 FG, 8-9 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and three blocks across 39 minutes during Sunday's 112-100 win over the Pistons.
Adebayo did a little bit of everything for Miami in Sunday's victory, finishing as one of two players with 20 or more points while leading the team in rebounds and blocks. He's now averaging 20.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals in 35.5 minutes per game through 11 appearances in March while shooting 58.3 percent from the field and 81.5 percent from the free-throw line.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Dominates in thumping victory
Rotowire
Adebayo closed Wednesday's 138-119 win over the Grizzlies with 26 points (10-15 FG, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 33 minutes.
Adebayo led all scorers with 26 points in the win, having his way with an undersized Grizzlies team. He was quite simply a class above in this one, in turn limiting opposing center Xavier Tillman to just eight points in 23 minutes. The Heat will continue to push hard for victories down the stretch to improving playoff positioning, meaning Adebayo should be looking at heavy minutes on a nightly basis without too much risk of being rested.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Efficient from field Wednesday
Rotowire
Adebayo had 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 104-100 loss to Cleveland.
Adebayo was efficient from the field and missed just three of his 11 shots but failed to contribute in peripheral categories. He's now scored 15-plus points in five games in a row, but his fantasy value lies in his ability to stuff the stat sheet, not just in his scoring prowess.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Stuffs stat sheet against Hawks
Rotowire
Adebayo recorded 16 points (5-9 FG, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block across 36 minutes during Monday's 130-128 win over Atlanta.
Adebayo left his mark on both ends of the court and posted another well-rounded line. He's now scored at least 15 points in four games in a row, and even though he only has three double-doubles over his last 10 outings, he continues to contribute in other categories. Most importantly for season-long fantasy managers, Adebayo has missed only five games all season; Monday marked his 24th straight appearance.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Leads Miami with double-double
Rotowire
Adebayo accumulated 30 points (10-12 FG, 10-12 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 win over the Hawks.
Adebayo missed just two shots from the field and was a frequent visitor to the free-throw line en route to a team-high 30 points, marking his highest output since he dropped a season-high 38 against the Pacers on Feb. 8. The dynamic center also tied Jimmy Butler with a team-high 11 rebounds, marking his 29th double-double of the year, and recorded at least one tally in each defensive category for a second straight game. Adebayo has appeared in 23 straight games and is averaging 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks in 34.8 minutes during that stretch.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Scores team-high 20 points
Rotowire
Adebayo amassed 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-96 loss to Philadelphia.
The Heat struggled offensively Wednesday, and Adebayo was perhaps the lone bright spot in the 23-point loss, as he was the only player who reached the 20-point mark. However, the star big man has achieved that feat only twice across his last seven outings, so it's not like he's been setting the fantasy world on fire with his performances. Firmly entrenched as one of Miami's most important players on both ends of the court, Adebayo is averaging 19.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per game across his last 10 outings.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Another quiet scoring night
Rotowire
Adebayo finished with 13 points (4-14 FG, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Monday's 101-99 victory over Philadelphia.
The 25-year-old center has scored more than 20 points only once in his last six games, shooting just 44.3 percent from the floor over that stretch -- an unusual downturn for a player who averaged 21.6 points a night while shooting 54.7 percent in January. Adebayo is too talented and has too big a role with the Heat for the swoon to last much longer, but he might be worth fading in DFS until his scoring touch returns.

Rotowire
Adebayo racked up 24 points (10-19 FG, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 116-105 loss to the Nets.
Adebayo went on an offensive run in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 of his team-high 24 points in the final 12 minutes. He bounced back in the rebounding category Wednesday night, as well, recording his second double-double in three games. The 25-year-old is now averaging a career-high 21.6 points per game to go along with 10.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks this season.

Rotowire
Adebayo totaled 19 points (6-14 FG, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 112-108 loss to Denver.
Adebayo didn't have his best shooting performance and struggled from the floor a bit, but he ended up posting a decent stat line thanks to his contributions in other categories despite that lack of efficiency. Adebayo also snapped a streak of six straight games with nine or more rebounds, but he remains a strong two-way threat for Miami on a game-to-game basis.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Adebayo (knee) will play Monday against Denver, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Adebayo emerged from Saturday's win over the Magic with some soreness in his knee, but he was initially listed as probable, so his availability was never in much doubt. In a season marred by a multitude of star players missing significant time, the big man has sat out only five games -- the most recent of which came back on Jan. 10 against Oklahoma City.

Rotowire
Adebayo (bilateral knee soreness) is probable to play Monday versus the Nuggets.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Double-doubles with six dimes
Rotowire
Adebayo amassed 13 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 17 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 43 minutes during Saturday's 107-103 overtime win over the Magic.
Adebayo made up for the lackluster scoring output by turning in his best rebounding mark of the campaign while offering better-than-usual contributions in the assists and steals columns. Though Adebayo took more of a back seat on the offensive end behind Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Gabe Vincent on Saturday, that typically hasn't been the case of late. Dating back to the start of the new year, Adebayo is averaging 22.2 points on 15.9 field-goal attempts per game over 19 appearances.

With Jimmy Butler (back) sitting out and with Tyler Herro struggling through a 4-for-19 shooting night, Adebayo rose to the occasion to will Miami to victory.
