Heat's Nikola Jovic: Continues solid play Friday
Jovic accumulated 22 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 125-103 win over the Raptors.
Jovic bounced back from a subpar outing against the Mavericks on Wednesday, and he surpassed the 15-point mark for the third time across his last four outings. Jovic has been a regular starter for Miami in the last few weeks, and he has been up to the challenge, averaging 9.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game since the All-Star break. He's also scored in double digits in six of his last 10 appearances.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Efficient in double-overtime win
Jovic totaled 23 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 double-overtime win over the Hawks.
Jovic was efficient and continues to embrace the starting role, as he's now scored in double digits in four of his last six appearances. This was just the second time he surpassed the 20-point mark. While he's not expected to do it regularly in the future, his fantasy upside has increased considerably now that he's a regular member of the first unit. Jovic has started 23 consecutive games and is averaging 9.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game during that stretch.

Jovic was listed as probable with a knee contusion before Sunday's match, and if his performance was any indication, he didn't deal with any lingering effects from that minor issue. Jovic has established himself as a regular starter for the Heat in recent weeks and has averaged 8.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.8 steals per game since the beginning of March.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Probable to face Washington
Jovic (knee) is probable to face the Wizards on Sunday.
Jovic sustained a right knee contusion in Friday's win over the Trail Blazers, but the probable tag suggests he shouldn't have significant problems returning to the hardwood ahead of Sunday's contest. Jovic is averaging 7.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game in a starting role since the All-Star break.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Suffers knee contusion
Jovic sustained a right knee contusion and wasn't able to return to Friday's 142-82 win over the Trail Blazers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. He finished with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 17 minutes.
Jovic tried to play a few possessions after he picked up the injury, but he appeared to be uncomfortable. Miami had a big lead when Jovic left the game, so that may have factored into the club's decision to hold him out for the ret of the night. Jovic should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Gets green light Wednesday
Jovic (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jovic has missed two straight games but will return to action Wednesday and will presumably draw another start, as Bam Adebayo (back) is sidelined. Jovic has started each of his last 12 appearances, averaging 7.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 20.4 minutes during that stretch.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Iffy against Cleveland
Jovic (hamstring) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jovic is in danger of missing his third straight contest Wednesday due to a right hamstring strain. However, it is a good sign that the 20-year-old big man is initially being listed as questionable instead of out. If Jovic is unable to suit up, Haywood Highsmith will likely continue to start.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Out again Monday
Jovic (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Jovic will miss a second straight game due to a right hamstring strain. With Kevin Love (heel) also out, Haywood Highsmith is a candidate to draw another start, while Caleb Martin should see increased usage off the bench.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Out versus Pistons
Jovic will not play in Sunday's matchup against Detroit due to a hamstring strain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Decent stat line despite loss
Jovic closed with 10 points (3-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 110-108 loss to the Wizards.
Jovic scored in double digits just for the second time since jumping into a permanent starting role, and there's no question he needs to get better offensively if he wants to experience an uptick in his fantasy upside as well. Jovic is averaging just 8.2 points per game over his last 10 starts, but the fact that he's shooting 49.2 percent from the field and 41.7 percent from deep in that span is certainly encouraging.

Jovic was ejected from Tuesday's game versus the Pistons with 5:43 remaining in the third quarter after receiving his second technical foul, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jovic picked up his second technical foul Tuesday after arguing with the officials. The second-year big man will end the game with eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes. Jaime Jaquez and Caleb Martin will likely receive increased playing time in Jovic's absence.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Quiet in return
Jovic notched eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and two rebounds across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 106-96 win over the Trail Blazers.
Jovic returned from a one-game absence due to suspension and was given the chance to start, but he was limited to just 15 minutes of playing time. The second-year forward didn't play poorly, as he knocked down a pair of triples and didn't commit a turnover, but Miami elected to give Caleb Martin -- who came off the bench for the first time in eight games -- almost twice as many minutes. Jovic's playing time and production have been too inconsistent this season for him to be a viable fantasy asset at the moment.

After missing Monday's contest due to a suspension, Jovic will replace Caleb Martin in the starting lineup Tuesday. Jovic is averaging 6.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 19.0 minutes across his last five starts.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Eligible to play Tuesday
Jovic (suspension) is available for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Jovic and Jimmy Butler will both suit up after serving one-game suspensions Monday for their involvement in an on-court altercation during Friday's win over the Pelicans. However, Jovic's role will likely be limited given Miami's frontcourt rotation is relatively healthy.
