While he has been able to provide value through his rebounding of late, Adebayo has struggled on the offensive end. Over his last five appearances, the 28-year-old has averaged 13.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting just 40.7 percent from the field in 31.6 minutes per contest.

Rotowire
Adebayo (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Adebayo popped up on Thursday's injury report due to lower back soreness, and he was downgraded to doubtful Friday before eventually being ruled out. Friday's contest is the first leg of a back-to-back set, so the veteran center could be available to play against the Pacers on Saturday. Kel'el Ware should step into a larger role in Adebayo's absence, and more minutes will be available for the likes of Jaime Jaquez, Simone Fontecchio and Nikola Jovic.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Nursing back injury
Rotowire
Adebayo is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks due to lower back soreness.
The Heat are playing the first leg of their back-to-back set Friday, so the team may sideline Adebayo for one of those games while the veteran center recovers from a back injury. Kel'el Ware would step into a more prominent role on offense, while Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez would be the top candidates to enter Miami's starting lineup if Adebayo were to miss time.

It wasn't the star big man's finest performance overall, though he hauled in at least eight boards in his fifth consecutive game. Adebayo was riding a 14-game streak with at least one assist up until Sunday, so fantasy managers can expect his production in this area to increase moving forward.

Although Kel'el Ware led the team in rebounds off the bench with 13, both Adebayo and Ware have been elite sources of rebounds for fantasy managers all season.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Fills stat sheet Monday
Rotowire
Adebayo posted 27 points (10-17 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, four steals and four blocks over 32 minutes during Monday's 140-123 win over the Clippers.
Adebayo strung together his seventh double-double of the regular season Monday and his fourth over his last five games. His 14 rebounds were a season high and he finished as the Heat's second-leading scorer behind Norman Powell (30 points). Adebayo also connected on a career-high five three-pointers, and after averaging 2.8 three-point attempts in the 2024-25 regular season, he has opened the 2025-26 campaign averaging 5.2 attempts from deep per game. In his seven outings since returning from a six-game absence due to a toe injury, Adebayo has averaged 18.9 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.9 threes, 1.6 blocks and 1.0 steals over 30.5 minutes per game.
Adebayo totaled 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 138-135 loss to the Pistons.
Adebayo was unable to reach the 20-point mark, but he made his presence felt defensively and was also active enough on the glass to record a double-double for the third time in his last four appearances. Adebayo has scored at least 15 points in his six outings since returning from a toe injury in mid-November, and that consistency should make him a reliable fantasy option in all formats, although he's no longer the No. 1 or No. 2 scoring option for the Heat.

Adebayo played alongside Andrew Wiggins in the frontcourt instead of Kel'el Ware, meaning he had to deal with Myles Turner on both ends of the court, but he still posted a solid stat line. This was Adebayo's sixth double-double of the season -- and second over his last three games. He's also on a run of scoring at least 17 points in five straight contests.

He drilled a clutch three-pointer down the stretch to put the game out of reach, and he finished with a point differential of plus-15. Adebayo is knocking down a career-high 2.1 triples per game, though his willingness to venture outside of the paint has brought his field-goal percentage down to a career-low 46 percent through nine appearances.

Heat's Bam Adebayo: Will play Wednesday
Rotowire
Adebayo (toe) will play Wednesday versus the Warriors, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Head coach Erik Spoelstra said that he will monitor Adebayo's minutes in his first game back from a six-game absence, but even with a minutes limit, Adebayo is a must-play option in fantasy leagues. He should start, which will likely shift Kel'el Ware back to the second unit.
