Fontecchio (ankle) will play Thursday against Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio was able to shake off a questionable tag for this contest. The forward has played a minor role recently with 14.3 minutes per game over his last six appearances.

Fontecchio (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio didn't participate in Wednesday's practice but will travel with the Heat for Thursday's contest. The 30-year-old forward hasn't logged double-digit minutes in any of Miami's last four games, so his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.

Fontecchio didn't practice Wednesday due to ankle inflammation, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Although he didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, the sharpshooter is traveling with the Heat to Detroit for Thursday's tilt against the Pistons. Miami has to provide an official injury report at some point ahead of that contest, which will shed more light on Fontecchio's status.

Fontecchio finished Saturday's 142-116 victory over Indiana with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across three minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio was back in the rotation, albeit for just three minutes during garbage time. After a somewhat promising start to the season, Fontecchio has gone by the wayside recently. In 11 games over the past month, he has averaged just 6.7 points and 1.4 three-pointers in 18.1 minutes per contest, shooting a woeful 30.3 percent from the floor.

Fontecchio will come off the bench Thursday against the Nets, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Heat have elected to switch up the starting lineup Thursday, as Kel'el Ware will step into the first unit in Fontecchio's place. The 30-year-old is averaging 8.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in his last five matchups off the bench.

Fontecchio will start against the Raptors on Monday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Tyler Herro (toe) ruled out less than 30 minutes before tipoff, Fontecchio will get the starting nod for the first time this season. Over his last five outings, the 30-year-old forward has averaged 8.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 18.4 minutes per game.

Fontecchio registered zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and two assists over eight minutes during Tuesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio's role has shrunk considerably over the last few weeks, as he has registered only one double-digit scoring performance in his last nine games. He also hasn't been shooting the ball well, averaging just 7.2 points on 31.0 percent from the field and 1.2 threes on a 20.8 percent clip in that span. Still, the sharpshooter is shooting 37.0 percent from beyond the arc on the season, so expect him to get his shooting numbers back on track in the future if he is given the opportunity to do so.

Fontecchio totaled 20 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and seven rebounds in 26 minutes during Saturday's 127-111 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

With Tyler Herro (toe), Davion Mitchell (groin) and Pelle Larsson (hip) all unavailable, Fontecchio saw more than 25 minutes for just the second time this season. The 29-year-old forward made the most of the opportunity, setting a new season high in points while knocking down at least four triples for the fourth time this season. Fontecchio has seen the floor in four straight games, averaging 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 21.0 minutes per contest during that span.

Fontecchio provided eight points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Fontecchio scored single digits for the sixth straight game, while his continued lack of peripheral stats makes him a non-factor in standard fantasy leagues. In 21 appearances for the Heat, Fontecchio has averaged 10.0 points and 2.1 three-pointers in 19.0 minutes per game.

Fontecchio chipped in eight points (2-10 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 106-102 victory over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Through the first 14 games of the season, Fontecchio was shooting 50 percent from deep. However, over his last four games, he's gone 5-for-32 from beyond the arc. His overall numbers still look good, averaging 10.8 points on 39.6 percent from three-point range, but his minutes might start to dip when Andrew Wiggins (hip), Norman Powell (groin) and Nikola Jovic (hip) return to action.
