Heat's Nikola Jovic: Dishes out career-high eight dimes
Jovic produced 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and one block across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Lakers.
Jovic's career-high eight assists didn't come out of nowhere, as he is averaging 4.5 assists over his last 10 outings. The 21-year-old forward is also averaging 28.7 minutes per contest over that span and should continue to be one of Miami's primary playmakers in their bench unit alongside Terry Rozier.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Stuffs stat sheet in win
Jovic provided 21 points (8-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 119-98 victory over Portland.
The third-year pro filled in the stat sheet while leading the Heat's bench in points. He also finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Tyler Herro (32 points). Jovic has seen a significant uptick in playing time of late, and he has turned things around after an underwhelming start to the season. Over his last 10 outings, the 21-year-old has averaged 12.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 0.9 steals across 26.9 minutes per game.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Logs team-high 20 points from bench
Jovic racked up 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 114-98 victory over the Warriors.
Jovic's recent bump in minutes can be attributed to Jimmy Butler's (suspension) absence, and the former's production should give the Heat confidence that they will be able to move on without Butler if he's traded. Although Haywood Highsmith and Jaime Jaquez have also pitched ineffectively during the star's absence, Miami will likely tinker often with the rotation, resulting in more first-unit minutes for Jovic.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Back to bench against Kings
Jovic is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Kings.
After scoring 17 points in Saturday's start against the Jazz, Jovic will revert to his usual role off the bench Monday and cede his spot in Miami's first unit to Jaime Jaquez. Over 14 contests as a reserve this season, Jovic is averaging 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 threes in 23.9 minutes, which dampens his streaming appeal a bit against the Kings.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Enters starting lineup
Jovic will start Saturday's game against the Jazz.
With Jimmy Butler beginning his seven-game suspension, Terry Rozier and Jovic will enter the starting lineup, shifting Duncan Robinson to the second unit.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Available Sunday
Jovic (ankle) will play during Sunday's game against the Rockets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Jovic suffered a left ankle sprain during Thursday's game against the Magic, but he will be able to play through it Sunday. Over his last five appearances, Jovic is averaging 8.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.4 minutes per contest.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Ties season high with 18 points
Jovic (ankle) provided 18 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and six assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 104-100 victory over the Rockets.
Jovic was able to play through an ankle injury to match a season high with both his 18 points and seven rebounds Sunday, stepping up off the bench for the Heat in the absence of All-Star forward Jimmy Butler (illness). Over his last seven games, Jovic is averaging 10.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.7 threes in 24.2 minutes. The 21-year-old big man would be worth a look in deep fantasy leagues as a decent streaming option if Butler remains sidelined for Wednesday's clash with the Pelicans.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Expected to suit up Sunday
Jovic (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Jovic sustained the left ankle sprain during Thursday's loss to the Magic, though he was able to play in Saturday's loss to Atlanta.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Questionable to play Saturday
Jovic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Jovic entered Thursday's game against the Magic on the injury report due to a left ankle sprain. He was able to play through the issue across the first three quarters of the game, but he aggravated the injury in the fourth frame and is now in danger of missing his 10th game of the regular season. Jovic's absence Saturday, paired with Jimmy Butler (conditioning) and Josh Richardson (heel) both being ruled out, would mean more playing time for Jaime Jaquez, Haywood Highsmith, Pelle Larsson and Alec Burks.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Departs with ankle sprain
Jovic exited in the fourth quarter of Thursday's 89-88 win over the Magic with a left ankle sprain and didn't return, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. He ended the night with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and three steals over 24 minutes.
Prior to the game, Jovic appeared on the Heat's injury report with a left ankle sprain, so he seemingly suffered an aggravation of the injury. He left the game after he appeared to land awkwardly on his left leg with just over 10 minutes remaining. He'll be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks until the team provides an update on his status.

Jovic ended Monday's 110-95 victory over the Nets with 18 points (5-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 32 minutes.
Miami was missing both Jimmy Butler (illness) and Terry Rozier (knee), although both are day-to-day. Jovic responded with a season-high 18 points, giving the coaching staff something to think about after being out of the rotation for most of the season. Jovic is someone to monitor in fantasy with all the rumors swirling around Butler's future.

Heat's Nikola Jovic: Gets 19 minutes in return
Jovic (ankle) logged 19 minutes and finished with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and one rebound in Friday's 104-97 loss to the Thunder.
Jovic was back in action after missing the Heat's previous game Monday versus the Pistons due to a left ankle sprain. The third-year big man had been outside of the rotation in recent contests before suffering the injury, but the Heat opened up some playing time for him Friday as a backup center, with Kevin Love logging just three minutes in the loss. It's unclear if Jovic will be a regular part of the rotation moving forward, however, as head coach Erik Spoelstra may have prioritized Jovic ahead of Love on Friday for matchup-related reasons.
