Strong play continues Strus provided 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 97-94 win over the Hawks.

Impact Strus scored at least 12 points in each of the final four games of the series, notably hitting 15 three-pointers during that stretch. He seems to have earned coach Erik Spoelstra's trust over Duncan Robinson this season, which was a surprising development. At this point, however, it's expected that Strus continues to be an impact player for the Heat in Round 2.

Puts up 20 points in loss Strus amassed 20 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound and one assist in 29 minutes during Friday's 111-110 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Strus has seen his scoring increase with every passing game, and this was the first time he reached the 20-point plateau since April 3, when he scored 23 points in a regular-season win over the Raptors. He's averaging 14.3 points per game while shooting 39.1 percent from deep in the current series against Atlanta and could be a decent DFS play going forward due to his scoring prowess, though he doesn't offer a lot of value in other categories.

Goes for 14 points in victory Strus provided 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 115-105 win over the Hawks.

Impact Strus only scored nine points in the series opener but took a step forward in this one, as he was one of two starters that recorded double-digit points while Miami took a two-game lead in the series. Dating back to the regular season, Strus has now scored in double digits in five of his last seven appearances, though he occupies a secondary role in the offense behind players such as Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, or even a bench option like Tyler Herro.

Miami Heat's Max Strus: `I Never Thought I'd Be In The NBA' Strus had to overcome a lot to make the league

APRIL 9, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Catches fire from deep Strus put up 23 points (7-10 FG, 7-9 3PT, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in the 114-109 win over Toronto on Sunday.

Impact With Jimmy Butler being held out, Strus saw a significant boost in production. After averaging just 10.4 points per game in his last 10 contests, the third-year guard seemingly couldn't miss from three-point land and finished as Miami's leading scorer.

Available Saturday Strus (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

Impact Strus will play through the shoulder issue and could be in line for a third straight start. He's totaled 22 points, 10 rebounds, four steals, three assists and two blocks over the past two.

APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with shoulder injury Strus is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bulls due to a right shoulder contusion.

Impact Strus has drawn back-to-back starts ahead of a healthy Duncan Robinson, but he's now dealing with a shoulder injury that may sideline him for the first time since Feb. 26. If he's ruled out, Robinson will likely reclaim his spot in the starting lineup.

Miami Heat's Max Strus Flourishing In New Role Strus has made an impact in his past two starts

MARCH 31, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Hits four threes in road win Strus racked up 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 victory over Boston.

Impact Making his second straight start at shooting guard with Duncan Robinson coming off the bench, Strus took advantage of the opportunity, drilling four threes and adding three steals and two blocks to reward fantasy managers who plugged him into their DFS lineups. For now, the Heat appear to be leaning toward Strus at shooting guard over Robinson, but that's subject to change, given how Miami has handled its lineups throughout the season.

Modest production in win Strus accumulated eight points (3-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 123-100 win over the Kings.

Impact Strus drew the start ahead of a healthy Duncan Robinson, but despite being relatively aggressive, he failed to score in double figures for a third consecutive game. The third-year wing continues to play a sporadic role for the Heat this season, but when he's hot, he can pop for sizable production at any time. Across 14 contests in March, Strus has scored in double figures seven times -- including a 21-point performance -- but has also been held scoreless three times.
