Herro chipped in 34 points (10-19 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-9 FT), six rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 122-113 win over the Cavaliers.
Herro caught fire in the third quarter Sunday, scoring 19 of his game-high 34 points during this period to help power the Heat past Cleveland. The star guard has been the top scoring option in Miami's offense throughout the first quarter of the season, and over his last 11 outings, he's averaging 24.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 4.0 three-pointers in 36.0 minutes per game. Herro's impact may not be as pronounced in the defensive categories, but he should remain a stable source of points, threes and assists going forward while seeing an increase in ball-handling opportunities in the wake of Terry Rozier's move to a bench role.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Inefficient 19 points Monday
Rotowire
Herro produced 19 points (6-19 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 108-89 loss to Boston.
Herro served as one of Miami's top scoring options in the absence of star swingman Jimmy Butler (knee), tying with teammate Jaime Jaquez Jr. for a team-high 19 points, but his showing also required 19 field-goal attempts to attain. The 24-year-old star combo guard has now scored at least 18 points in each of his last 14 appearances for the Heat, however, averaging 24.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 4.2 three-pointers in 37.0 minutes per game during this period. If Butler remains out of action for Wednesday's contest against the Lakers, Herro will figure to handle the heavy lifting on offense with an increase in ball-handling and playmaking responsibilities once again.

Herro ended with 31 points (9-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 loss to Toronto.
While Herro's three-pointer to tie the game came up short, his superb line was a fantasy bonanza with solid results in every major category. Herro's six drilled threes were impressive, and his upside definitely resides beyond the arc, where he attempts almost 10 shots per game at a conversion rate of 41.9 percent.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Solid showing Monday
Rotowire
Herro amassed 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 106-89 win over the 76ers.
Jimmy Butler returned from a four-game absence to lead Miami to victory, with Herro supplying some secondary offense. It's the first time since Nov. 2 that the 24-year-old guard has failed to score at least 20 points, but Herro hasn't slowed down from beyond the arc -- he's drained multiple three-pointers in 12 straight appearances to begin the campaign and is shooting 45.2 percent from long distance on a career-high 9.7 attempts a game, leading to personal bests of 24.2 points and 4.4 threes a contest.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Scores 20 points vs. Indiana
Rotowire
Herro provided 20 points (6-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and five assists in 34 minutes during Friday's 124-111 win over the Pacers.
Herro wasn't efficient from the field Friday -- particularly from long range -- but he managed to score at least 20 points for a sixth straight game and finished as the Heat's second-leading scorer behind Bam Adebayo (30). Part of Herro's inefficiency is likely due to the fact that he's playing through a right shoulder contusion, which will be something to monitor heading into Sunday's rematch against Indiana. Herro and Adebayo will continue to be Miami's one-two punch on offense while Jimmy Butler (ankle) is sidelined.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Playing through shoulder bruise

During that stretch, he's averaged 26.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 36.3 minutes per game.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Solid outing in preseason debut
Rotowire
Herro amassed 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 15 minutes in Sunday's 101-99 preseason win over the Pelicans.
Herro impressed in his preseason debut after missing time due to a groin strain. The sharpshooter played only 15 minutes while tying Duncan Robinson (18 minutes) with a team-high 12 points. Herro is coming off one of his best statistical years, during which he averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists while shooting 44.1 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from deep across 33.5 minutes per game. However, the 24-year-old played a career-low 42 regular-season games due to a litany of injuries -- most notably an ankle sprain, foot tendonitis and a hyperextended knee. Herro also has yet to eclipse 70 regular-season appearances in his five-year career.

Heat's Tyler Herro: Available Sunday vs. New Orleans
Rotowire
Herro (groin) is available and starting in Sunday's preseason game versus the Pelicans, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Herro will return to game action after sustaining a groin strain that held him out of Tuesday's preseason-opening win against the Hornets. The sharpshooter was able to put up shots without an issue during Friday's shootaround, though it is unlikely he will receive a full workload during his preseason debut.
