Tyler Herro ruled out for Heat against Thunder with hip contusion
Miami Heat shooting guard Tyler Herro will not play on Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a hip contusion.
What It Means:
Herro injured his hip in the first half on Saturday versus the Los Angeles Lakers and did not return. The Heat were still able to pull off the victory and will hold Herro out for at least Monday's game. Gabe Vincent (knee, probable) and Kendrick Nunn should see upticks in usage as a result of Herro's absence. Nunn finished with 27 points (10-of-14 field goals, 2-of-2 free throws) 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, a block, and 5 triples on Saturday.
Nunn is averaging 30.1 FanDuel points per game when Herro doesn't play this season, an increase of 9.8 FanDuel points. He has a salary of $5,600 on Monday's six-game slate.
