Adebayo (back) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Adebayo missed Monday's contest against the Clippers due to a back injury and is in danger of missing a second consecutive game. If Adebayo can't play Wednesday, the Heat will likely rely on Kevin Love and Kel'el Ware as the primary big men again.

EDGE Analysis

After being a late addition to Miami's injury report, Adebayo is out with a lower back contusion Monday, and he'll miss his first game of the season as a result. The star big man's next chance to return is Wednesday against the Lakers. Rookie first-rounder Kel'el Ware and Nikola Jovic are candidates for enhanced roles against the Clippers, and the Heat would figure to get veteran big man Kevin Love back into the rotation.

Adebayo is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers with a lower back contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite being a very late addition to the injury report, Chiang reports that Adebayo will warm up with the intent to play. Over his last seven outings, Adebayo has compiled averages of 16.0 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 steals in 30.9 minutes.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Adebayo closed Thursday's 97-92 victory over the Jazz with 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 29 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Adebayo has bounced back admirably since posting a four-point dud in the loss to the Jazz on Jan. 4. Over his last three games, the star big man is averaging 17.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Adebayo notched 20 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 128-115 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Adebayo was efficient on offense and active on the glass, but he ended just two rebounds shy of recording what would've been his 10th double-double across his last 15 outings since the beginning of December. 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.

Adebayo closed Wednesday's 119-108 win over the Pelicans with 23 points (9-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over 31 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Adebayo tied his season high with 10 assists during Wednesday's victory but fell just one rebound shy of his third triple-double of the year. Across his last 10 outings, Adebayo is averaging 17.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 35.0 minutes.

Adebayo posted 17 points (8-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 120-110 loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Adebayo needed 17 shots to score 17 points, but the star big man continues to fill the stat sheet as he did Saturday. Adebayo has scored 15 or more points in eight of his last nine outings, a span in which he's also racked up five double-doubles.
