Ware (knee) will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Ware will miss a second straight game due to a knee sprain. During Monday's 106-90 win over the Wizards, Kevin Love started in Ware's place and played 12 minutes, while all of Kyle Anderson, Pelle Larsson and Haywood Highsmith saw extra playing time off the bench.

Ware has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Wizards due to a right knee sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Ware appeared to tweak his knee late in Sunday's 116-112 overtime loss to the Knicks, but he returned to action briefly thereafter while sporting a bit of a limp. He turned in one of his better performances of late with 12 points (6-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and six blocks over 29 minutes, but the Heat will elect to hold him out for the second leg of a back-to-back set. With the rookie sidelined, the Heat will likely move Bam Adebayo back to center and could reopen a spot in the rotation for Kevin Love to serve as Adebayo's backup. Kyle Anderson and Haywood Highsmith will be the primary candidates to absorb minutes at power forward.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie big man has started in each of his last 15 appearances, during which he has averaged 10.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks across 29.5 minutes per contest.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie center tied his career high in boards, and Ware likely would have established a new personal best if he hadn't sat out the entire fourth quarter. It's not clear what prompted that decision from coach Erik Spoelstra -- Ware came into the game nursing an ankle issue, but per Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, no new injury was reported by the team. Ware did extend his streak of games with at least one rejection to seven, a stretch in which he's averaging 9.4 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 blocks.

Over 14 contests since becoming a full-time starter Jan. 21, the rookie big man has averaged 11.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 0.7 steals in 30.0 minutes.
