What It Means:

Waiters is away from the team due to the birth of his daughter, so the Heat will shuffle around their bench some. Justise Winslow started, btu only got 17 minutes Sunday, while Josh Richardson, Tyler Johnson, and Wayne Ellington all saw more playing time in the absence of Waiters. The latter three are the better fantasy options Monday.

Our models project Waiters to average 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.1 steals over 31.3 minutes per game remaining this season.
