Deng (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

This will be Deng's second consecutive miss due to tightness in his hamstring. Gerald Green is expected to continue to start in Deng's spot, with Justice Winslow also seeing more minutes. There's no telling how long Deng could be out for, but the Heat surely won't rush him back into the swing of things.

Deng (hamstring) has officially been ruled out of the Heat's game on Wednesday against the Pistons, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng says he's trying to be smart with this injury, and is focusing on Friday's rematch with the Knicks in New York. It is unclear whether coach Erik Spoelstra will have Gerald Green or rookie Justise Winslow start in his spot at shooting guard, however he had Green practice with the starters in Wednesday morning's shootaround.

Deng (hamstring) is doubtful for the Heat's game on Wednesday against the Pistons, Ira Windman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng's starting shooting guard spot will likely be replaced by rookie Justise Winslow, while Gerald Green will see increased minutes off the bench. Deng has been struggling with his left hamstring for the last few days, but was able to play through it on Monday against the Knicks, scoring nine points and grabbing three rebounds in 31 minutes. Deng said he has not ruled out playing on Friday against the Knicks just yet, and will wait until closer to decide.

Deng (hamstring) did not practice Tuesday, but he will travel with the team for Wednesday's game in Detroit, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng has been nursing a left hamstring injury for the last few days, but he played through the ailment in Monday's win over the Knicks, finishing with nine points and three rebounds in 31 minutes. Reports after the game intimated that the Heat may rest Deng on Wednesday, but it appears as though a decision won't be made until closer to game-time, and his decision to travel with the team should earn him a questionable designation. In the event Deng is ultimately held out, the Heat would likely start rookie Justise Winslow or veteran Gerald Green in his place.

Deng said he experienced renewed tightness with his hamstring in the second half of Monday's win over the Knicks, Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports. The Heat could hold him out of Wednesday's game against the Pistons as a result. "We're gonna evaluate the next game," Deng said.

EDGE Analysis

Playing through the hamstring injury is likely just a matter of pain tolerance for Deng, but it may not make much sense for the forward to risk worsening the issue so early in the season. He'll likely to continue to receive treatment for the next several days, and could be forced to sit out a few games along the way if the team determines it's in Deng's best interest to rest up. Even if Deng isn't forced to miss any time, it's probably worth avoiding him in daily formats over the next few games while he presumably remains less than 100 percent healthy.

Deng (hamstring) will start against the Knicks on Monday, South Florida Sun-Sentinel writer Ira Winderman reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng reportedly appeared limited in the Monday shootaround, but the tough veteran will still be out there with the starters at tip-off. If the injury should flare up on the floor and limit Deng against the Knicks, Justise Winslow would be the top candidate to pick up any slack at small forward.

Deng is nursing a hamstring injury and will be a game-time decision for Monday's contest against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng said he tweaked the hamstring in the third quarter of Saturday's game against the 76ers and will test out the injury in warmups Monday night before a ruling on his status for the contest is made. The veteran forward was able to partake in the Heat's morning shootaround, but wasn't moving around at full speed, so the team will wait and see how he progresses over the afternoon. The Heat would likely be use rookie Justise Winslow in the starting lineup at small forward if Deng ends up being ruled out for Monday's game.

Deng (illness) is starting for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Deng missed Friday's practice due to an illness, but it doesn't seem as if it will affect him much during Saturday's game against the 76ers. Fantasy owners who are comfortable starting the streaky small forward (he's scored less than 10 points in four of the last six games) should do so with confidence.

Deng (illness) is expected to play Saturday against the Sixers, the South Florida Sun Sentinel's Shandel Richardson reports.

EDGE Analysis

It sounds safe to deploy Deng in most formats Saturday, although he has been pretty streaky lately, scoring less than 10 points in three of his last five games.

Deng missed Friday's practice with an illness, Ethan Skolnick of the Miami Herlad reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's just a minor illness and shouldn't cost Deng a significant amount of time, but it's still something to be aware of going into Saturday's matchup with the Sixers. Consider him questionable for that outing, although we should see an update on his status following Saturday morning's shootaround. If he's unable to play, rookie Justise Winslow would likely move into the starting lineup.
