Provides full line in big minutes Olynyk scored 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt) to go with eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 45 minutes Tuesday in the Heat's 137-134 overtime win over the 7...

Impact With the Heat down to eight available players for the contest, Olynyk was pressed into extended minutes and was able to churn out a useful all-around stat line. Miami is expected to remain shorthanded for Thursday's rematch with Philadelphia, so look for Olynyk to once again take on a larger minutes share than normal. With averages of 14.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.3 three-pointers and 2.7 assists per game over his last six outings, Olynyk looks like a worthy option in 12-team leagues.

Will be available Olynyk (groin) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Sixers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact As expected, Olynyk will be cleared to play, and with Gabe Vincent (knee) also active, the Heat will have the eight required players for Tuesday's game to take place.

Probable for Tuesday Olynyk (groin) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Sixers, Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press reports.

Impact The Heat have eight players unavailable due to the COVID-19 protocols, so Olynyk is poised to play a heavier role than usual Tuesday, assuming the game goes on as scheduled. Gabe Vincent (knee) is also probable while Meyers Leonard (shoulder) is questionable, and Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Andre Iguodala, Max Strus, Precious Achiuwa and Chris Silva are the other available players for Miami.

Dealing with groin bruise Olynyk is questionable for Sunday's game at Boston with a left groin contusion, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact The 29-year-old had 18 points, six rebounds and five assists in his third straight start Saturday, but he apparently picked up the groin injury during the contest. Precious Achiuwa figures to see increased run if Olynyk is unavailable Sunday.

Another strong outing as starter Olynyk tallied 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block across 32 minutes in Saturday's 128-124 win over the Wizards.

Impact Olynyk made his third straight start for the Heat and seems to have solidified his spot on the top unit alongside Bam Adebayo. After a lackluster showing in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics, Olynyk bounced back with a stellar outing against a depleted Washington frontcourt. The big man is now averaging 16.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 4.0 triples and 2.0 assists in 26.7 minutes per game over his three starts, production that makes him worth at least a speculative pickup in 12-team leagues.

Impresses as starter Olynyk registered 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), eight rebounds and an assist across 28 minutes in Monday's 118-90 win over the Thunder.

Impact Olynyk ended just two boards shy of what would've been his first double-double of the season, and he was able to leave a mark on both ends of the court in what was his first game as a starter this season. Due to this strong outing, it wouldn't be surprising to see Olynyk remaining in the starting five Wednesday against the Celtics, his former team.

Enters starting five Olynyk will start Monday's game against the Thunder, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Olynyk is set to make his first start of the season after averaging 8.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in his first four games off the bench. Andre Iguodala retreats to the bench as a result.

Probable Friday Olynyk is probable for Friday's game against the Mavericks due to a left knee contusion, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Olynyk has emerged from Wednesday's win over the Bucks with a bruised knee. However, it's likely that he'll be available Friday.

NOVEMBER 19, 2020 • SLAMONLINE.COM

Picks up option Olynyk exercised his $13.2 million player option for the 2020-21 season Thursday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Though Olynyk had a couple of big games for the Heat during its NBA Finals series loss to the Lakers, those performances likely wouldn't have been enough for him to secure a deal worth more than $10-plus million annually had he opted for free agency this offseason. With that in mind, his decision to pick up his option comes as little surprise, and Olynyk should once again factor into the Heat's frontcourt rotation in 2020-21. Unless star center Bam Adebayo misses extended time at some point, however, Olynyk will likely remain off the fantasy radar in the majority of leagues.
