Deng was forced to leave Wednesday's game against the Wizards with an eye injury, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of a blowout, so it's unclear if it's anything serious or if they just kept him out to play it safe. We'll monitor his status, but until we hear more, consider him questionable for Friday's game against Toronto.

Deng delivered 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, and two assists in 33 minutes during the Heat's 111-103 loss to the Warriors on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Deng grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds with Hassan Whiteside (knee) ruled out on Monday and the Heat opting to go small by replacing him with Justice Winslow. During the last five games, Deng is averaging 9.2 points (39.5 FG, 25.0 3Pt, 92.9 FT), 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.4 steals, and 0.2 blocks in 31 minutes per appearance. His numbers on the year aren't much better, and 30-year-old forward is clearly on the back end of his career. However, nights like Monday show that he is still capable of filling up a box score every once in a while.

Deng scored six points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt) to go with four assists and two boards over 34 minutes in Tuesday's 99-90 overtime loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Deng has provided fewer than 10 points in four of his last five games, an unfortunate byproduct of him regularly ranking as the fourth or fifth option offensively whenever he's on the court. His modest season averages of 10.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and one steal to go long with a 42.7 percent mark from the field barely make him worthy of a roster spot in deep leagues.

Deng notched 17 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) to go with two rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes in Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

The five treys were a season-best mark for Deng, who exceeded his scoring output from the previous two games (14 points) with Sunday's effort. While the proficiency from long range was nice to see, Deng still only attempted seven shots, and with high volume not typically headed his way most games, he figures to hover around his current season average of 10.5 points until further notice.

Deng scored 18 points in 36 minutes against the Hawks on Monday with nine rebounds, four assists, and two steals.

EDGE Analysis

Deng has been very solid since coming back from a hamstring injury last week. His 18-point performance Monday came behind the 15 points he scored Sunday. The main question with Deng is if he can maintain his health, and if he can do that he has the potential to provide good scoring.

Deng (hamstring) is expected to return to the starting lineup during Friday's game against the Pistons, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng returned to the lineup on Wednesday after missing six games due to a hamstring injury. He came off the bench during that outing, finishing with five points and six rebounds over 24 minutes. He's expected to move back into the starting lineup Friday, which should mean he's ready to return to his normal allotment of minutes near his season average of 28 per game.

Deng (hamstring) delivered five points (1-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, and one assist in 24 minutes during the Heat's 99-81 loss versus the Hornets on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Deng (hamstring) missed two weeks, and came off the bench in his return to action on Wednesday versus the Hornets. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra will likely continue to ease Deng back into things slowly to avoid a setback, but the former All-Star's best days in fantasy are undoubtedly behind him at this point in his career.

Deng (hamstring) will come off the bench Wednesday night against the Hornets, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng is expected to be eased back into the game by head coach Erik Spoelstra, and will likely face a minutes restriction Wednesday night. After missing two weeks with a nagging hamstring injury, Deng's return will eat into the minutes of Gerald Green and rookie Justise Winslow.

Deng (hamstring) is expected to play Wednesday but could be on a minutes restriction, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. "I'm going to figure out the rotation for tonight's game. That may affect what I do with Luol," said head coach Erik Spoelstra early Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After missing over two weeks with a hamstring injury, Deng appears to be on track to play Wednesday against Charlotte. That said, an absence of that length may cause Spoelstra to ease the veteran wing back into game action by giving him a minutes restriction for his first game since November.

Deng (hamstring) expects to return to the lineup Wednesday at Charlotte, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng fit in contact work at Tuesday's practice for the first time in two weeks, which led the forward to declare his intention to play Wednesday. Barring a setback in shootaround or pregame warmups, he appears set to return following a six-game absence, but it's unclear if he'll take over his typical starting spot at small forward.
