Heat's Kel'el Ware: Big double-double off bench
Ware posted 22 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.
Ware turned in a double-double, his ninth in 2025-26, while stuffing the stat sheet. The second-year center's fantasy upside is capped by the presence of Bam Adebayo, though Ware has been very productive with averages of 14.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 26.2 minutes per contest in his last 10 games.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Scoreless with nine boards
Ware finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds and one block over 16 minutes during Monday's 140-123 win over the Clippers.
Ware has cooled off from a production standpoint after being relegated to the bench. He averages 12.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.5 blocks in 14 games as a starter but just 7.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in his last three games off the bench. With Tyler Herro (ankle) back in the mix, Ware figures to play with the second unit full time, backing up Bam Adebayo.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Coming off bench Wednesday
Ware is not in the Heat's starting lineup against the Bucks on Wednesday.
Ware has started in each of the Heat's last three games and has averaged 20.0 points, 16.0 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 steals over 29.3 minutes per game over that span. Despite his strong performances as of late, the second-year center will revert to a reserve role Wednesday due to the returns of Norman Powell and Andrew Wiggins.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Big night on boards
Ware logged 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 18 rebounds and three blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 106-102 win over the Mavericks.
Ware was an absolute force at the rim, resulting in his fifth straight game with 14 or more rebounds. He also bounced back as a rim protector after failing to record a swat Sunday in Philly. Ware has now recorded three straight double-doubles, averaging 20.0 points, 16.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game over this brief stretch.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Big double-double Sunday
Ware registered 20 points (7-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 win over the 76ers.
Making his second straight start and 13th in 17 games this season, Ware pulled down double-digit rebounds for the eighth straight contest while recording his seventh double-double on the campaign. The second-year center has put a sluggish start to the season behind him, and over that eight-game surge he's averaging 14.5 points, 14.4 boards, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 steals in 28.0 minutes per contest.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Scores season high in double-double
Ware registered 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 28 minutes during Friday's 143-107 victory over the Bulls.
Ware moved to the starting lineup due to the absence of Andrew Wiggins (hip) and formed a dominant frontcourt pairing with Bam Adebayo. This was the second-year big man's fifth double-double over his last six games, averaging 14.5 points and 14.5 boards per game in that stretch. The 20-point output was also a season-high mark for Ware.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Starting Friday
Ware is part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Ware will start alongside Bam Adebayo on Friday, stepping in for Andrew Wiggins (hip). The second-year center is averaging 11.0 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 26 minutes in 11 starts this season.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Pulls down 16 boards in win
Ware notched seven points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and 16 rebounds across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 110-96 win over Golden State.
With the demotion to the second unit, Ware's minutes dipped below 20, and his double-double streak was put to an end. He didn't spend any time alongside Bam Adebayo, and if he's unable to share the floor with Adebayo, his upside will be severely limited.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Headed to bench
Ware will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Bam Adebayo (toe) is back and starting, which will shift Ware back to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Ware owns averages of 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 triples, 1.7 steals and 1.3 swats per contest.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Keeps double-double streak alive
Ware logged 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 115-113 victory over the Knicks.
Ware has been doing a good job filling in for Bam Adebayo (toe) at center, and the second-year big man delivered an impressive performance while having to deal with the threat of Karl-Anthony Towns on both ends of the court. This was Ware's fourth consecutive double-double, and he's finally reaching the level of consistency he was unable to attain in the early stages of the season. Ware should remain a valuable fantasy asset as long as he stays in the starting lineup, which could be the case against the Warriors on Wednesday if Adebayo isn't cleared to return.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Second consecutive double-double
Ware finished Wednesday's 130-116 loss to the Cavaliers with 15 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 28 minutes.
Ware has three double-doubles on the season, and all three have come during the Heat's past five games. He also notched this feat in back-to-back games for the first time in 2025-26. Ware has enjoyed an uptick in playing time due to the absence of Bam Adebayo (toe), and the second-year big man should remain in the first unit as long as Adebayo remains out.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Pulls down career-high 20 rebounds
Ware produced 14 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 20 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 140-138 overtime win over the Cavaliers.
Ware was a beast on the boards in this one, as he set a new career high in rebounds, and his defense played a pivotal role in Miami eking out the two-point win in overtime. Over the past three games as a starter, Ware has been a top-75 producer with averages of 10.0 points, 12.3 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 steals per contest.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Cleared to play Monday
Ware (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
Ware is nursing a right hip flexor strain but will power through and play Monday. The center has started the past two games in place of Bam Adebayo (toe), averaging 8.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 1.0 steal in 26.5 minutes per contest during that stretch. Ware is expected to make a third straight start now that he's cleared.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Probable to face Cleveland
Ware (hip) is probable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Ware is dealing with a right hip flexor strain, though he's still likely to suit up against the Cavaliers. The second-year center has started the Heat's last two games with Bam Adebayo (toe) sidelined, averaging 8.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks while shooting just 33.3 percent from the field during that span.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Swats three shots with one steal
Ware ended with seven points (3-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 126-108 victory over Charlotte.
Ware saw a season-high in minutes in this one, and while he was effective on the defensive end, he left a lot to be desired on offense. It's unclear if Bam Adebayo (foot) will be able to play Saturday against the Trail Blazers, but if he's out again, that would present a great bounce-back opportunity for Ware.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Starting Friday
Ware will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Bam Adebayo (foot) will miss Friday's game, so Ware will draw the start in his place and will be joined by Pelle Larsson, Andrew Wiggins, Norman Powell and Davion Mitchell. Ware double-doubled across 27 minutes his last time out, so he's an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues with some increased opportunity coming his way.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Double-double against Denver
Ware contributed 13 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one block and four steals across 27 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 122-112 loss to the Nuggets.
The double-double was Ware's first of the season, and it came after Bam Adebayo (foot) left the game in the first half and didn't return. The second-year center has bounced between the starting five and the second unit so far this season, but if Adebayo's injury causes him to miss any further time, Ware would be leaned on more heavily in the Miami frontcourt. Through eight games, Ware is averaging 10.1 points, 7.4 boards, 1.3 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 20.3 minutes a contest.

Heat's Kel'el Ware: Retreating to bench Monday
Ware won't start in Monday's game against the Clippers.
With Norman Powell (groin) back in action, Ware will come off the bench against Los Angeles. Over six regular-season appearances (five starts), the second-year big man has averaged 8.7 points and 6.8 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per contest.
