Bam Adebayo had 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two steals, and two blocks across 27 minutes in Miami's 106-82 road loss to Atlanta on Sunday night.
Fantasy Implications: Adebayo is starting to develop into a reliable, high-energy contributor coming off the bench. In his previous five games, the sophomore center was averaging 23 minutes, 8.8 points, nine rebounds, 1.4 assists, and one steal. He should be considered a must-own player whenever Hassan Whiteside is out.

Josh Richardson registers 11 points in loss to Hawks
Josh Richardson scored 11 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), and registered three rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes in Sunday's 106-82 loss in Atlanta.
Fantasy Implications: Richardson struggled with his shot along with his fellow teammates in Miami's lackluster road performance. As a team, the Heat shot a dismal 35.6 percent from the field and only 14.7 percent from three-point range. Richardson ended a string of 19 games where he hit at least once from beyond the arc. In those games, the Tennessee product averaged 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.1 steals. Consider this an off night for the 25-year-old guard.

Collin Sexton has subpar shooting nignt
Collin Sexton scored 12 points (5-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt) while registering four rebounds and four assists over 30 minutes in Cleveland's 117-92 loss to Miami Wednesday night.
Fantasy Implications: Sexton has been struggling with his shot as of late. Previous to tonight's game, the rookie from Alabama was averaging 12.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in his last 10 games, but was shooting only 35.9 percent from the field and a woeful 14.3 percent from beyond the arc in that span. He should be able to snap out of his recent funk considering he is shooting a decent 42.5 percent field-goal percentage for the season.

Alec Burks scores 17 points in blowout loss
Alec Burks tallied 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) along with six boards and five assists across 30 minutes in Cleveland's 118-94 loss to Miami Friday night.
Fantasy Implications: The 17 points are the most Burks has registered in his last 10 starts. In that span, the former Jazz guard has scored in double-digits only four times, averaging 8.8 points, and shooting a poor 32.3 percent (31-for-96) from the floor. He can be avoided in most formats.

Mike Zunino placed on 10-DL
Mike Zunino has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained oblique. The move is retroactive to March 27.
Fantasy Implications: Zunino felt pain in his side during batting practice on Wednesday, the first day the Mariners were back in Seattle from spring training. He was a late scratch in Thursday's season opener with the Indians, and was replaced by Mike Marjama. The Mariners did not say how long they expect Zunino to miss action. Oblique strains are unpredictable, and it is not uncommon for one to be out for four to eight weeks. The Mariners called up David Freitas from Triple-A Tacoma to take Zunino's place. He is expected to backup Marjema while Zunino remains inactive.

Nelson Cruz homers on Opening Day
Nelson Cruz blasted a two-run homer in Seattle's Opening Day win over the Indians on Thursday. It was his lone hit in three at bats.
Fantasy Implications: Cruz was questionable for the game because of a quad injury he sustained during Cactus League play on March 13. The veteran designated hitter was noticeably laboring around the bases after taking 2017 Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber deep over the center field wall in the first inning. The runs would account for the Mariners' only scoring, but more important, were enough for the Seattle win. Cruz is projected to play exclusively DH for the Mariners in 2018, which will limit his availability when the Mariners' visit National League parks.
