Meyers Leonard did not play in Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets based on a decision from head coach Erik Spoelstra. Spoelstra told reporters that Leonard will be in the mix moving forward, but was not included in Saturday's game.
Fantasy Impact
Leonard has averaged 20 minutes a game for the Heat this season, starting in more than half of his appearances. Instead, Jae Crowder started for the Heat on Saturday scoring nine points on 3-of-4 shooting. Leonard should be involved in Miami's rotation in future games, but should be held out of all fantasy lineups until he can prove that he is in a more consistent role for the Heat.
