Miami Heat forward/center Bam Adebayo (back) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup against Minnesota and is expected to play through mild lower back soreness. Adebayo has continued to anchor the frontcourt, averaging 13.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 31.6 minutes over his last five games. His availability keeps Kel'el Ware in a secondary but viable role, with occasional double-double upside when minutes hold, while Andrew Wiggins maintains steady wing usage. Adebayo remains a firm hold with reliable multi-category production.--Brian Dailisan
