Jimmy Butler's absence from the Miami Heat lineup has sent shockwaves through the team.

Without Butler , Miami 's rotation has shifted, creating new opportunities for several players to step up.

Tyler Herro is having the best season of his career, by a long shot.

Kel'el Ware is projected to be a top-75 player moving forward with top-50 upside.

Trade for him if you can get him at "recent hot pickup from the waiver wire" prices. His actual value should be as an "every day fantasy hoops starter" moving forward. It could be wise to take a chance on waiver wire players like Jaquez or Duncan Robinson (available in 84.0% of ESPN leagues) because they have the upside to make either solid streamers or potentially grow into fantasy flex options while Butler isn't playing..
