Heat's Bam Adebayo: Won't go Tuesday
Rotowire
Adebayo (calf) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Adebayo was initially added to the team's injury report as questionable due to right calf tightness, but he was downgraded to doubtful earlier Tuesday morning and has now officially been ruled out. This should mean more opportunities in the frontcourt for Kel'el Ware and Nikola Jovic, though Simone Fontecchio could also be more involved in the rotation with Andrew Wiggins (toe) also sidelined Tuesday.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Downgraded to doubtful
Rotowire
Adebayo (calf) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Adebayo appears likely to miss his first game since Dec. 27. He was previously labeled as questionable, so he can be treated as day-to-day for now. With this news, Kel'el Ware could step into a major role as Miami's starting center, making him a popular target in daily formats.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Adebayo is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to right calf tightness.
The star big man is in jeopardy of sitting out for the first time since the Dec. 27 win over the Pacers. Kel'el Ware would likely handle a featured role at center if Adebayo cannot play Tuesday, which would open the door for a more pronounced role for Jaime Jaquez in the frontcourt.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Full stat line in loss
Rotowire
Adebayo amassed 20 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-10 FT), seven rebounds, four steals, two blocks and one assist across 38 minutes in Saturday's 121-117 loss to the Magic.
Adebayo didn't have his most efficient night on the offensive end Saturday, though he reached the 20-point threshold for a ninth consecutive contest and was one of three Heat players to score at least 20. The star big man turned in an impressive performance on defense, recording a game-high four steals to go with a game-high-tying two blocks. He has supplied multiple steals and multiple blocks in two of his last three outings. Additionally, Adebayo grabbed at least seven rebounds for a 10th straight game.
Heat's Bam Adebayo: Makes history with 83-point night
Rotowire
Adebayo registered 83 points (20-43 FG, 7-22 3Pt, 36-43 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 42 minutes during Tuesday's 150-129 win over the Wizards.
Adebayo turned in the second-highest scoring game in NBA history, surpassing Kobe Bryant's 81-point performance from January 2006. The Heat made a concerted effort to get Adebayo the ball down the stretch of the fourth quarter, allowing him to sink a pair of free throws with a little over a minute remaining to reach 83 points. Adebayo scored just under half of his points from the charity stripe and nearly recorded a double-double with a strong effort on the glass. He also broke the NBA single-game records for free throws attempted and free throws made.
Adebayo amassed 24 points (7-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Sunday's 121-110 win over the Pistons.
Adebayo fell one board short of what would've been his 26th double-double of the campaign. The six dimes were the star big man's most since the Jan. 28 loss to Orlando, and Adebayo is riding a six-game streak with at least 20 points. During this span, Adebayo has averaged 24.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.0 three-pointers in 34.0 minutes per game.

Adebayo had a tough time getting his shot to drop in this one and missed all five of his three-point attempts, but he made up for it with his work on the glass and also finished the match without committing a single turnover. The Heat closed the game with an Adebayo-Kel'el Ware frontcourt pairing, and Ware finished with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one steal and four swats over 31 minutes in the win.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Posts loaded line Thursday
Rotowire
Adebayo provided 21 points (7-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 126-110 victory over the Nets.
Even though there's a strong argument to say Kel'el Ware outplayed Adebayo with his impressive stat line, Adebayo was one of Miami's top scoring weapons in a comfortable 16-point win. The star big man extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to four, and he's recorded three double-doubles over that stretch as well. Adebayo will likely remain as one of Miami's most reliable scoring and rebounding weapons for the Heat going forward.
Adebayo recorded 23 points (11-24 FG, 1-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and six steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 124-98 victory over Brooklyn.
Adebayo ended just one rebound shy of posting a double-double, but the star big man had one of his most complete performances of the season. He also recorded a season-high mark in steals and delivered at least four tallies in four of the five major categories, with the blocks output being the only exception. Adebayo has scored at least 23 points in three straight games, averaging a solid line of 20.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game since the end of the All-Star break.
