3 years agoMiami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) and small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will both be sidelined for Monday's game against Oklahoma City. Adebayo's absence will mark his second this season, while Butler will be down for a third consecutive game as he works through an ankle injury. With Markieff Morris (neck) also unavailable in the frontcourt, Dewayne Dedmon stands to see an elevated role at the center spot and will have sizable DFS appeal against a rebuilding Thunder squad. Butler being in street clothes has allowed Tyler Herro to slide into the starting five and claim top offensive duties, thereby elevating his DFS outlook as well. The next chance that Adebayo and Butler will have to return to action comes Wednesday vs. the Pelicans.--Jesse Borek
