Robinson finished with 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Miami's decision to move Terry Rozier to the second unit is still a bit of a head-scratcher, but Robinson proved his worthiness as a starter with a productive night of sharpshooting. The frequent three-point threat drilled five shots from downtown in the win and was a perfect complement to Tyler Herro in the backcourt. There's no sign of a switch from the current rotation, so Robinson deserves a closer look moving forward.

Robinson finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 134-93 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson started for the eighth straight game, although once again struggled to get anything going on the offensive end of the floor. Despite starting, his playing time has been more like that of a bench player, exceeding 30 minutes only twice in that time. He remains a viable perimeter threat, albeit one who has seen his consistency fall off in recent seasons.

Robinson is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors due to left glute tightness.
EDGE Analysis
Even with Terry Rozier available, Robinson drew another start during Wednesday's win over the Hornets and scored a season-high 22 points (7-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT). Over his last nine appearances (four starts), Robinson has averaged 13.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals in 25.7 minutes per game.

Robinson amassed 22 points (7-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 win over the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson dropped a season-high 22 points, continuing to start over Terry Rozier. The sharpshooter has now scored double-digits in four of the past five games, connecting on 17 total three-pointers. While his exact role remains somewhat clouded, it's safe to say the Heat need his scoring right now. Robinson should continue to play meaningful minutes, at least while his shot is falling.

Robinson is starting Monday's game against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson is coming off a 20-point performance Sunday against the Pacers, and it was evidently enough to help him earn his first start of the season. He'll start alongside Tyler Herro, Jimmy Butler, Haywood Highsmith and Bam Adebayo.

Robinson finished Sunday's 119-110 loss to the Pacers with 20 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson saw extended time off the bench in Sunday's contest due to the Heat being shorthanded, leading all bench players in the defeat in scoring and threes made in a 20-point showcase. Robinson matched a season high in scoring while posting his second outing of the year with at least five threes. All three of Duncan's double-digit scoring contests this year have taken place over the last five games.

Robinson supplied 14 points (6-16 FG, 2-10 3Pt), six rebounds, four steals and three assists across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 123-121 overtime loss to the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
The sharpshooter led the bench in scoring alongside Jaime Jaquez, though Robinson struggled with efficiency in the loss. The 30-year-old scored in double figures for only the second time this year, and while he is shooting an efficient 37.5 percent from deep, he has struggled from inside the arc while shooting only 38.0 percent from the field. Through nine regular-season appearances, Robinson has averaged 9.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 18.6 minutes per game.

Robinson finished Friday's 135-122 loss to the Nuggets with 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson set season highs in made field goals, made three-pointers and points during Friday's loss while playing at least 20 minutes for just the second time this year. Jimmy Butler (ankle) left the contest early, and if he misses time, Robinson may have increased offensive responsibilities moving forward.

Robinson scored nine points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and added a rebound and a block through 15 minutes in Wednesday's 115-112 loss to Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson hit three three-pointers for a second straight game and is averaging 1.8 threes on 5.2 attempts this season (35.5 percent). While Robinson's efficiency has dipped following last season, it is worth noting he is playing significantly fewer minutes and has a reduced role to begin this season.
