He ended up leading the Heat in both scoring and rebounding (with five of his 14 boards coming off the offensive glass), and he set a career high with six three-pointers. Ware would likely start against the Knicks on Sunday if Andrew Wiggins (back) is not cleared to play.

Grabs 13 boards in loss Ware amassed six points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds and two blocks across 19 minutes during Monday's 106-96 loss to Toronto.

Impact Ware logged fewer than 20 minutes for the second straight game, salvaging a quiet night with a team-high 13 rebounds. His role continues to change, seemingly on a nightly basis, making him a hard player to get a read on for fantasy purposes. While he does remain a must-roster player, it is looking like the majority of his value could end being tied to rebounds and blocks only.

Starting Friday Ware will start against the Magic on Friday, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact After coming off the bench in four straight games, Ware will return to the first unit against Orlando. In 14 starts this season, the second-year center has averaged 12.9 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 26.7 minutes per contest.

Big double-double off bench Ware posted 22 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Ware turned in a double-double, his ninth in 2025-26, while stuffing the stat sheet. The second-year center's fantasy upside is capped by the presence of Bam Adebayo, though Ware has been very productive with averages of 14.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 steals in 26.2 minutes per contest in his last 10 games.

Scoreless with nine boards Ware finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds and one block over 16 minutes during Monday's 140-123 win over the Clippers.

Impact Ware has cooled off from a production standpoint after being relegated back to the bench, as he averages 12.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.5 blocks in 14 games as a starter, but just 7.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in his last three games off the bench. With Tyler Herro (ankle) back in the mix, Ware figures to play with the second unit full time, backing up Bam Adebayo, so his fantasy production may largely hinge on whether he starts.
