In their second game of Week 15, the Miami Heat claimed yet another dominant win in front of their home crowd. The Miami Heat’s starters led the way against the Clippers on Friday evening and contributed excellent fantasy performances as a result.
Gabe Vincent continued his string of starts in place of Kyle Lowry, who missed yet another game due to personal reasons. Vincent did not disappoint in this one either.
Connecting on seven triples along the way, Vincent dropped 29.3 fantasy points and finished second on the team in total fantasy value.
Jimmy Butler notched another All-Star-worthy performance on Friday. He unleashed 57.7 fantasy points on the Clippers and had one of the best stat lines of any player in the NBA tonight.
The starters led the way for the Miami Heat against the Clippers on Friday evening and contributed excellent fantasy performances as a result.
On 16/16 free throw shooting, Butler collected 26 points, six rebounds, nine assists, three steals, and one block. That is some ridiculous overall value for a player that should be making his way to the All-Star Game in Cleveland in mid-February.
Rounding out the starters, Duncan Robinson sank four triples and extended his hot streak from behind the arc.
Bam Adebayo had a 2o and 12 double-double on his way to 40.4 fantasy points. Adebayo is providing elite value with Lowry sidelined.
P. J. Tucker brought the heat once again on the offensive end, pun intended. Scoring another 18 points, Tucker’s reignition on the offensive side of the court has been unfathomable over the past few games.
On a night when the second unit wasn’t getting the job done, the starters did what they had to do in order to secure a much-needed win against the depleted Clippers.
On nights when the starters are firing on all cylinders, it makes all of them appear must-roster in fantasy. Unfortunately, a game like this is a rarity and not the norm.
The Miami Heat are back in front of the FTX Arena faithful on Saturday night against the Toronto Raptors for their last home game of the month. If the starters cash in another dominant performance, make sure none of them are on the waiver wire heading into Week 16.
