Highsmith isn't starting Sunday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Highsmith will return to a reserve role following back-to-back starts. However, he should still see increased playing time off the bench with Kevin Love (knee) unavailable. As a reserve (seven games), Highsmith has averaged 5.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.9 steals in 18.6 minutes per game.

Highsmith finished with 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 128-120 loss to the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Highsmith returned to a starting role and looked impressive, putting up solid contributions on both ends of the court and reaching a season-best mark in scoring. Highsmith has scored in double digits six times this season, and while his fantasy upside is inconsistent, he will experience an uptick if he's able to remain in a starting role going forward.

Highsmith (concussion) tallied three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and three rebounds across 16 minutes in Monday's 120-113 win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Highsmith made his return after he was sidelined for the Heat's previous three contests while he recovered from a concussion. Though Miami was without both of its usual starters at forward in Jimmy Butler (foot) and Caleb Martin (ankle), Highsmith wasn't able to recapture meaningful minutes. Highsmith could be at risk of moving outside of the rotation once both Butler and Martin are healthy again.

Highsmith (concussion) isn't listed on Miami's injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Highsmith will suit up Monday after missing the previous three games while in concussion protocol. With Jimmy Butler (toe) out and Caleb Martin (knee) doubtful, there will be plenty of frontcourt minutes available, though it's unclear if Highsmith will have any restrictions or not.

Highsmith was placed in concussion protocol Monday and will miss the remainder of Miami's current road trip, which ends Friday in Phoenix, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Highsmith will miss at least the next three games, making a Jan. 8 home matchup versus the Rockets his next chance to suit up. Miami's rotation has been in flux all season, so Highsmith's absence should open up a few extra minutes for guys like Kevin Love, Nikola Jovic and Orlando Robinson.

Highsmith is doubtful for Monday's game against the Clippers due to a jaw contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Miami has yet another lengthy injury report, and it appears that Caleb Martin (ankle) is also expected to sit out Monday's game. The Heat could turn to Kevin Love or Nikola Jovic to pick up the small handful of minutes that Haywood usually sees.

Highsmith isn't starting Saturday's game against the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Highsmith drew a spot start at power forward Thursday against the Warriors, putting up three points and recording one steal over 18 minutes. He'll head back to his usual bench role as the Heat elect to give Nikola Jovic a chance with the first unit.

Highsmith (illness) isn't listed on Miami's injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Highsmith was sidelined for Monday's win over Philadelphia due to the flu but returned to practice Wednesday. He was a regular starter earlier in the season, averaging 6.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks in 23.8 minutes across 13 starts in November, and Highsmith may reclaim that role Thursday with Caleb Martin (ankle) doubtful and Jimmy Butler (calf) questionable.

Highsmith (illness) said he expects to play Thursday against the Warriors, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Highsmith missed Monday's game against the 76ers with the flu, but he was back at practice Wednesday and said he was feeling better. He's had a tough December so far due to a variety of injuries that have limited him to 13.8 minutes per game across five appearances.
