Thompson closed with 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists and two blocks over 23 minutes during Thursday's 120-100 loss to the Warriors.
Thompson received a warm reception in his return to Golden State but struggled to find his shooting rhythm, connecting on just two of seven attempts from beyond the arc. The veteran guard was coming off a game-winning three-pointer against the Clippers on Wednesday but couldn't sustain that momentum. His two blocks provided an unexpected fantasy boost, though his value remains heavily dependent on perimeter shooting.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Buries eight triples in narrow win
Rotowire
Thompson notched 30 points (11-22 FG, 8-17 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 117-116 overtime win over the Clippers.
Thompson has made at least four three-pointers in three straight games. After an ice-cold preseason, the veteran sharpshooter has turned things around and is giving Miami valuable spacing around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. Thompson is a strong streaming option for threes while he's this hot, though his lack of peripheral production limits his ceiling.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Keeps foot on gas Monday
Rotowire
Thompson amassed 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in 27 minutes during Monday's 138-117 loss to the Lakers.
Thompson stayed hot Monday, sinking at least four triples for a second consecutive game. The veteran sharpshooter should continue spacing the floor for Miami's star-studded frontcourt, averaging 11.9 points, 1.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 3.3 three-pointers in 21.9 minutes per game so far this season.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Lights it up from long range
Rotowire
Thompson supplied 25 points (9-14 FG, 7-12 3Pt) and three assists across 26 minutes during Friday's 145-125 win over the Pacers.
The 36-year-old turned back the clock to his peak Splash Brothers days in Golden State, with the seven made threes equaling his total from the prior three games combined. Thompson's 25 points were also a season high, but he's only reached double digits in three of six contests so far in 2026-27 as he adjusts to his new role with Miami. Thompson's averaging 10.7 points, 3.2 treys, 1.3 boards and 1.3 assists in 21.0 minutes to begin his tenure with the Heat.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Shooting woes continue
Rotowire
Thompson contributed six points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Monday's 113-109 loss to Dallas.
Thompson struggled from the field and played a season-low 15 minutes as Miami dropped its fourth consecutive game. The veteran sharpshooter has scored six points or fewer in two of his last three appearances, shooting just 29.0 percent (9-for-31) from the field during that stretch. His limited playing time and inconsistent shooting make him difficult to trust in standard fantasy leagues.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Drains three treys Wednesday
Rotowire
Thompson tallied 10 points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and a rebound across 16 minutes in Wednesday's 131-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
Thompson made three triples but offered virtually nothing outside the scoring column, highlighting his increasingly specialized fantasy profile. His 16-minute workload was particularly concerning, as limited playing time can make it hard to generate consistent three-point production, especially since three bench players (Bobby Portis, Nikola Jovic and Pelle Larsson) played 20-plus minutes. Unless his minutes increase considerably, Thompson could struggle to provide reliable fantasy value beyond occasional perimeter shooting.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Ice cold in preseason loss
Rotowire
Thompson finished with zero points (0-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt), three assists and one rebound in 15 minutes during Friday's 136-115 preseason loss to the Magic.
Thompson rounded out what has been a poor preseason, missing all seven of his shot attempts. While he will almost certainly be better than this on most nights, the simple fact is that Thompson's days of being a viable fantasy asset are well and truly behind him. For a player with little to no upside, Thompson is still being drafted in standard leagues, which seems illogical.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Notches 12 points
Rotowire
Thompson finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 23 minutes in Wednesday's 144-128 preseason win over the Nets.
Thompson started alongside Davion Mitchell in Miami's backcourt but struggled to find his rhythm from deep, missing five of seven three-point attempts. He still reached double figures by converting three shots inside the arc. The veteran's perimeter shooting remains his primary fantasy appeal, though his contributions outside the scoring column were minimal Wednesday.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Held scoreless in preseason opener
Rotowire
Thompson recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 13 minutes in Saturday's 129-105 preseason win over the Raptors.
Thompson only played in the first half of Saturday's contest and didn't offer much in his preseason debut for the Heat. He started Miami's preseason opener and is the favorite to get the starting nod at shooting guard when the regular season begins.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Favorite to start?
Rotowire
Thompson is the clear front-runner to open the season as Miami's starting shooting guard, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
While the Heat are expected to hold a competition for the job during the preseason, Thompson's floor-spacing ability makes him a natural fit alongside Bam Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo. The veteran sharpshooter made 38.3 percent on 7.6 three-point attempts per game with Dallas last regular season and has converted 38.7 percent from deep over the past three regular seasons.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Officially agrees to deal with Heat
Rotowire
Thompson cleared waivers and officially agreed to a two-year, $11.5 million contract with the Heat on Sunday, Sam Amick and Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic report.
Miami acquired Giannis Antetokounmpo this offseason, but the Heat are now adding Thompson in hopes of bolstering the team's chances of winning another championship. The 2011 No. 11 overall pick is coming off his worst season, averaging 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 21.7 minutes, all career lows, in 69 regular-season games with the Mavericks. It's unlikely that Thompson will return to All-Star form with the Heat, considering he will turn 37 during the 2026-27 campaign. Regardless of his role, Thompson should have an opportunity to be much more productive than he was in Dallas, especially since his shooting acumen will provide spacing for Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo.

Heat's Klay Thompson: Reaches buyout with Mavs, signing with Heat
Rotowire
The Mavericks announced Friday they have reached a buyout agreement with Thompson, who's expected to sign with the Heat after he clears waivers, per Shams Charania of ESPN.
Thompson's status had been in limbo this offseason, so it's not overly surprising to see him and Dallas part ways. The veteran sharpshooter is coming off perhaps the worst season of his career, ending with career-low averages of 11.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.9 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes per game through 69 regular-season appearances (eight starts). Despite that, Miami appears to have quickly swooped in to secure Thompson's services as a three-and-D presence with championship experience.
