Ware (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Ware has missed the past four games for Miami, but he practiced Tuesday, which is an encouraging sign for his status for Wednesday's game. We'll have a better idea on his availability based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is able to get back out there, Nikola Jovic's minutes would dip.

Ware returned to Miami for treatment on his strained right hamstring Thursday, and he won't play in the Heat's back-to-back set against the Jazz on Saturday and the Suns on Sunday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ware is set to miss his fourth consecutive contest Sunday, and his next opportunity to play will come at home against the Magic on Wednesday. With the second-year big man sidelined, Nikola Jovic will likely see increased playing time behind Bam Adebayo.

Ware (hamstring) has returned to Miami to receive treatment, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ware has already been ruled out for Thursday's clash against the Trail Blazers, but the fact that he's left the team puts his status for Saturday in Utah and Sunday in Phoenix in serious doubt. The team returns home from the current road trip after Sunday's matchup, so it's possible the big man will remain out until then. The Heat should have additional clarification on his availability over the next day or so.

Ware (hamstring) will not play Thursday against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Ware was previously listed as questionable, so fantasy managers can assume that he's day-to-day. With Ware out for a second straight contest, the Heat will likely deploy some smaller lineups with Nikola Jovic possibly seeing a bump in minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Ware missed Tuesday's win over Sacramento with a sore hamstring, but there's a chance he'll be able to get back out there for Thursday's game in Portland. If he does return, Nikola Jovic's minutes would likely dip. Check back closer to Thursday's tip for official word on Ware's status.

Ware (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Sacramento.

EDGE Analysis

Ware is dealing with some tightness in his hamstring, so the Heat will err on the side of caution with their second-year center on the second leg of a back-to-back set. His absence will open up minutes for Nikola Jovic. For now, Ware should be considered questionable for Thursday's game in Portland.

Ware is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to right hamstring tightness, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ware is in danger of missing the second half of a back-to-back set after posting 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes during Monday's 135-112 loss to the Warriors. If the second-year big man is ultimately unable to suit up, the Heat would depend heavily upon Bam Adebayo at center Tuesday. Nikola Jovic could also see an expanded role in this case.

Ware ended Monday's 135-112 loss to the Warriors with 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

While Monday was an efficient showing, Ware's fantasy ceiling remains capped by the presence of Bam Adebayo at center. Ware has come off the bench in six consecutive games, failing to log at least 20 minutes in any contest, though his upside is high enough that he remains worth rostering in most leagues.

EDGE Analysis

Tyler Herro is returning to the starting lineup Thursday, which will shift Ware back to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Ware has compiled averages of 9.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per contest.

Ware finished with 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 victory over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Ware remained in the starting five for a 10th straight game and recorded his fifth double-double over that stretch. The second-year center's 12 boards were a game-high mark, and he has grabbed 12 or more rebounds in seven of his last 11 games. Over his last five appearances, Ware has averaged 13.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 26.6 minutes per contest.
