Fantasy Impact: Love provided some value in the Heat's run to the NBA Finals this past season after being traded from the Cavaliers. He should continue to provide depth at the forward position for the Heat.

Fantasy Impact: Oladipo joins a young Thunder team he previously played for during the 2016-17 season. He figures to be a veteran presence in the locker room for the Thunder as he recovers from surgery he underwent in April to repair the patellar tendon in his left knee.

Gabe Vincent has agreed to a three-year, $33 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact: Vincent cashes in on his breakout 2022-23 season with the Miami Heat, averaging 9.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 68 games as mostly a reserve. The guard should operate as a key bench option for head coach Darvon Ham as the Lakers attempt to strengthen the roster around LeBron James for the upcoming season.

Tyler Herro, who was upgraded to questionable, is expected to make his return on Monday in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Nuggets. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: With Miami trailing 3-1 in the series, they need something to get them going. Herro has been sidelined since the Heat's opening round series against the Bucks when he broke his right hand. It remains to be seen how healthy he'll truly be back on the court, but the Heat are looking for any sort of spark with their season on the line.

Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been ruled out for the Miami Heat in Game 2 against the New York Knicks. (Source: Andrew Lopez on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Butler expressed his desire to play, and was labeled a game time decision, but will unfortunately miss the contest. Caleb Martin and Duncan Robinson should see some extra playing time in his absence.

Kyle Lowry has been listed as questionable for Friday's play-in game against the Bulls. (Source: Anthony Chiang on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Lowry posted a monster 33 point performance in Miami's loss to the Hawks. The Heat are likely going to need another big game from the veteran against the Bulls.

Bam Adebayo (quad) has been ruled out for Friday night's game against the Washington Wizards. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Adebayo has a quad injury of some kind that will force him to miss Miami's game against the Wizards. The team is hopeful that he will be back in time for the playoffs, and more clarity on his injury will come at a later date. Haywood Highsmith is primed to get more more work while the big man is out on Friday night.

Caleb Martin (knee) will play in Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Knee soreness left Martin on the injury report for Saturday's game, but it shouldn't be much of an issue and he has been upgraded to active against the Nets. He will play and should continue to be a decent flex option for fantasy purposes on Saturday.

Duncan Robinson (health protocols) is considered questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Robinson has missed Miami's last few games while in the league's health and safety protocols, but he will have a chance to clear them and make his return on Monday. We'll see what his status ends up being closer to game time, and Kevin Love will continue to get more work if the sharpshooter is out against the Jazz.

Nikola Jovic (back) will be out again for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: The rookie has been out for a few months because of a back injury, and he will remain out for Monday's game. No return is imminent for him, and the fantasy impact of his absence continues to be minimal.

Orlando Robinson (thumb) is likely to play in Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Robinson has been out for two-straight games because of a thumb fracture, but he's listed as probable and is likely to play in Wednesday's game. He may be limited in his first few games back, and he likely won't have much fantasy value even when fully ramped up.

Jamaree Bouyea has agreed to sign a 10-day contract with the Miami Heat. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Bouyea, a guard from the G-League affiliate team in Sioux Falls, has agreed to a contract with the Miami Heat. The team will evaluate his performance to possibly give him a real contract in the future, but he won't play enough to be relevant in most fantasy formats.

The Miami Heat have traded Dewayne Dedmon and a second-round pick to the San Antonio Spurs. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: This is the type of move you figure the Heat did to open up a roster spot and come cap space. The Spurs will take on Dedmon's contract while adding a second-round pick. It seems likely the Heat will make at least one or two more moves ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Haywood Highsmith (shin) is likely to play in Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Highsmith will carry an injury designation for Friday's game thanks to a shin injury. He's listed as probable to play, so he should be good to go against the Magic. He doesn't project to get a lot of playing time, so he remains a fringe streaming option for fantasy purposes on Friday.

Udonis Haslem (achilles) is probable to play in Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Haslem is listed on Miami's injury report for Wednesday's game because of achilles soreness, but it's not considered serious and he should be available to play. He has struggled to get playing time in the team's rotation this year, however, so his presence likely won't have a notable effect for fantasy purposes.
