Wiggins continues a modest stretch on the offensive end of the floor, finishing with eight or more points in each of his last five games.

Wiggins looks ready to reclaim his spot against the Rockets, bringing back his recent form—averaging 18.8 points on 47.5% shooting over five games before the injury—for the Heat’s lineup. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can expect his scoring and multi-category contributions to resume if he’s cleared as anticipated.

Fantasy Impact

Miami has been without Wiggins for the last two games due to an ankle injury. He is questionable to play in Friday's game for the same reason, and fantasy managers should keep close tabs on his status leading up to game time. Look for Duncan Robinson to see more work if the veteran misses another game.
