Adebayo tied his career-high with six steals Tuesday, the second big steal performance in less than a month after recording five in a recent outing. He finished with 23 points (11-of-24 FGs), nine rebounds, four assists, one block, and one three-pointer in the win over the Nets.
Fantasy Impact
He went just 1-of-7 from beyond the arc, but six steals in a single game is the kind of outlier that makes the rest of the line almost irrelevant for fantasy purposes.
Bam Adebayo posted a double-double for the Heat Saturday, grabbing 11 rebounds and scoring a team-high 24 points (9-17 FG, 3-5 3PT, 3-6 FT) while also dishing out one assist and recording one steal in a 115-105 win over the Rockets.
Fantasy Impact
Adebayo continues a dynamic stretch on both ends of the floor, grabbing six or more rebounds and scoring 13 or more points in each of his last five games. The 28-year-old continues to offer fantasy managers one of the more stable options as part of an inconsistent Miami lineup, averaging 18.6 points and 9.9 rebounds per game while posting a 23.7% usage rate so far this season.
Adebayo's 29 points Thursday were his most since dropping 32 against Portland on January 22, and he paired the scoring with 14 rebounds, four three-pointers, three assists, and one steal in the loss to the 76ers.
Fantasy Impact
He's grabbed 15 rebounds combined over his prior two games, and Thursday pushed his recent rebounding run to another level — that kind of double-double production is what makes him worth the roster spot even on a losing night.
Adebayo put up 19 field goal attempts Tuesday — a sharp contrast to the seven he took in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies, his fewest since early November. He finished with 18 points (8-of-19 FGs), nine rebounds, two three-pointers, two assists, one steal, and one block in the loss to the Bucks.
Fantasy Impact
The shot volume is the key fantasy takeaway, as Tyler Herro's return to the rotation has not cut into Adebayo's offensive opportunities.
Bam Adebayo scored 17 points (8-14 FG, 1-4 3PT, 0-2 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in the 128-97 win for the Heat over the Hawks.
Fantasy Impact
Adebayo didn't have a huge game, but he was efficient in the 27 minutes he played in the blowout win. He remains a double-double threat any given night.
