Adebayo racked up 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 119-98 win over the Trail Blazers.
Adebayo recorded his 10th outing with double-digit points, 10-plus rebounds and at least five assists in a well-rounded performance. The star big man has taken a back seat in the scoring department this season, and he is on pace to shoot a career-low 45.6 percent from the field. Adebayo has struggled with offensive efficiency over his last five games, during which he has averaged 13.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 41.5 percent from the floor in 32.0 minutes per contest.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Flirts with double-double in win
Rotowire
Adebayo closed Tuesday's 114-98 victory over the Warriors with 19 points (9-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 30 minutes.
Although the Warriors put up a fight in the paint behind Trayce Jackson-Davis and Draymond Green, Adebayo received great support from his teammates and was able to post a solid total. The team was likely fatigued after a challenging double-overtime loss to the Kings on Monday night, and although Adebayo finished a bit below his usual scoring average, he showed no adverse effects from the back-to-back.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Strong double-double in OT loss
Rotowire
Adebayo totaled 18 points (6-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 45 minutes during Monday's 123-118 double-overtime loss to the Kings.
Adebayo had a woeful showing Saturday against the Jazz, and while he bounced back in this one, the lack of efficiency remains an issue for the star big man. Adebayo has scored over 15 points in four of his last six games, but on the same note, he's shooting a meager 43.8 percent from the floor, a low figure for a player in his position, in that span.

Over that 15-game stretch, the star big man is averaging 17.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Game-high 23 points vs. Nets
Rotowire
Adebayo totaled 23 points (8-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 110-95 win over the Nets.
Adebayo paced the Heat on Monday with a game-high 23 points, 17 of which came in the second half to help Miami snap a three-game losing streak.

Adebayo has managed to score at least 20 points in consecutive games, though he's had to take on a larger scoring role due to Jimmy Butler being sidelined with a stomach bug. Adebayo will look to keep things rolling against Orlando on Thursday.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Goes for 24 points in loss Saturday
Rotowire
Adebayo amassed 24 points (8-15 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 8-12 FT), six rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to Orlando.
Adebayo was one of three Miami players who scored at least 20 points in this game, with Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier being the others. The star big man continues to be extremely consistent on both ends of the court, posting three games with at least 20 points and four double-doubles across his last six appearances. Expect Adebayo to enjoy a slight bump in fantasy upside if Jimmy Butler (illness) remains sidelined for Monday's game against the Nets.

Adebayo had to leave the game in the second half after he was elbowed in the face early in the third quarter, which caused a cut above his left eye, but he returned after getting stitches. The star big man didn't look affected by the injury, though, and he finished with an efficient double-double despite the fact the Heat came up short of getting the victory. Adebayo has been on a roll of late with five double-doubles over his last six contests.

Adebayo took an elbow to the head early in the second half and went back to the locker room to get stitches for a cut above his left eye and is expected to return. Jaime Jaquez, Kevin Love and Kel'el Ware should see an increase in playing time for as long as Adebayo is sidelined.

Adebayo ended Thursday's 114-104 victory over the Raptors with 21 points (8-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, five assists and one block in 35 minutes.

Furthermore, Adebayo has seven double-doubles and one triple-double across his past 10 games, averaging 16.1 points, 11.5 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game in that span.

The standout center is also working on a double-double streak that's extended to three games, with four double-doubles over the past five games.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Remains productive in loss
Rotowire
Adebayo produced 15 points (6-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 108-89 loss to the Celtics.
Adebayo seemed to draw a softer assignment with the Celtics opting to rest Kristaps Porzingis, but he still had some trouble with the defense of Luke Kornet, who rejected a season-high six shots. Adebayo has established himself as a safe fantasy asset in recent seasons, but his surge in three-point attempts per game (2.8) has been a double-edged sword in nine-category leagues, adding another dimension to his value at the cost of a career-low 41.9 percent shooting clip from the field in 19 games this year. Fantasy managers hope Adebayo's efficiency will climb back up closer to his career norms as the second quarter of the 2024-25 campaign gets underway, but the 27-year-old, three-time All-Star is averaging a productive 14.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 35.3 minutes per game over his last six outings.

Adebayo beat his previous season-high rebound mark by a wide margin and was the clear winner inside despite a good performance from Jakob Poeltl. Adebayo has recorded eight double-doubles over his past eight games and will look to keep the streak going against the Celtics on Monday.

Adebayo notched 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 106-103 loss to Milwaukee.
Somewhat under the radar, Adebayo has developed a consistent three-point shot. The 27-year-old center has drained at least one trey in six straight games, averaging 19.0 points, 10.0 boards, 4.2 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.3 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor and 55.6 percent (10-for-18) from long distance.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Mixed bag Monday
Rotowire
Adebayo finished Monday's 106-89 victory over the 76ers with five points (2-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes.
The veteran center led all rebounders on the night, and the 13 boards were one short of Adebayo's season high. The five points were also a season low, however, as the Heat's other stars deferred to a returning Jimmy Butler. Through 13 contests, Adebayo is averaging 16.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.2 blocks and a surprising 0.8 threes on 31.3 percent shooting from long distance. The extra volume from beyond the arc is cutting into his field-goal percentage, which sits at a career-low 42.6 percent, but most of that decline is due to tough luck on short-range attempts that should improve as the season progresses.

Adebayo once again held things down in the paint for Miami, leading all Heat players in rebounds while finishing as one of three players with 20 or more points in Sunday's defeat. Adebayo has now posted at least 20 points and eight boards in three straight contests.
