Impact Oladipo has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful Thursday due to an ankle injury. If he's ultimately ruled out, his next chance to play is Saturday's matchup with the Bucks.

Unlikely to play Thursday Oladipo (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Listed as questionable Oladipo is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Knicks due to an ankle injury, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Oladipo finished Tuesday's win Cleveland with five points, seven rebounds, six assists and three steals in 27 minutes, but he appears to have tweaked his ankle as well. The veteran guard hasn't missed a game since Dec. 30 and is averaging 13.1 points, 4.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 30.3 minutes over his last 16 appearances. If Oladipo is forced to miss any time, Max Strus, who's totaled just 30 minutes over Miami's previous two contests, will presumably see increased playing time.

Leader off bench in balanced outing Oladipo notched 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 100-96 win over New Orleans.
Impact Oladipo put forth an all-around performance while leading the Heat bench in scoring and assists. Oladipo has tallied at least 10 points and five assists in six outings this year.

Posts 20 points, offers little else Oladipo finished with 20 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 28 minutes off the bench in Friday's 115-90 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact After averaging 7.0 points per game on 42.9 percent shooting from the field over his previous two outings, Oladipo bounced back in the scoring column Friday while achieving his production efficiently. His stat line was lacking in just about every other area, but that's typically not a common occurrence for Oladipo, who is averaging 5.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 three-pointers and 1.4 steals in January. Though the 30-year-old is unlikely to recapture the form that made him a two-time All-Star with the Pacers earlier in his career, Oladipo has settled in as Miami's sixth man and is getting enough playing time and producing well enough across the board to warrant a roster spot in both 12-team points and categories leagues.

Drops 20 off bench in win Oladipo logged 20 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and three steals across 36 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 111-95 victory over Milwaukee.
Impact With Kyle Lowry (knee), Tyler Herro (Achilles) and other members of the Miami backcourt in street clothes, Oladipo continued to see a big workload, and he responded with another big scoring effort. The veteran guard has looked like his pre-injury self lately, averaging 32.6 minutes over the last eight games and turning them into 17.1 points, 4.9 assists, 4.3 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.9 steals. The Heat are still resting Oladipo on back-to-backs, but the 30-year-old might get fully unleashed in the second half of the campaign after playing only 60 games over the prior three seasons.

Logs season-high 26 points Oladipo racked up 26 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 8-10 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 104-96 victory over Phoenix.
Impact The two-time All-Star guard showed flashes of his former self in Friday's win. Oladipo's playing time has ramped up considerably over the past week, and he saw 34 minutes in Friday's win due to a scratch from Tyler Herro (back). It would probably take a move at the trade deadline for Oladipo to fully realize his potential, but he still has solid fantasy relevance with the Heat's second unit.

Logs solid stat line in loss Oladipo ended with 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 112-109 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Oladipo led the Heat's bench with 32 minutes and 12 points, and he led all players on the team with five assists. The veteran also pulled down seven boards, second on Miami behind Bam Adebayo's 13. After a rough three-game stretch in late December during which Oladipo made just 25.0 percent of his shots and averaged 5.3 points per contest, he's bounced back with per-game averages of 16.7 points, 5.7 boards, 4.7 dimes, 2.3 triples and 1.3 steals while shooting 47.2 percent from the field over his past three matchups.

Patience Paying Off For Miami Heat's Victor Oladipo Oladipo is slowing work his way back to pre-injury form
JANUARY 2 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Pours in season-high 23 points Oladipo registered 23 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 126-123 victory over the Jazz.
Impact Oladipo was back in action after missing the previous game due to injury management, landing a season-high 23 points. He also added three steals, the sixth time in his past seven games with multiple steals. While his offense has been hit or miss thus far, he remains an elite steals streamer across all formats. The Heat don't have another back-to-back for over a month, meaning he shouldn't be dealing with any scheduled rest.

Out Friday Oladip will not play in Friday's game against the Nuggets for injury management, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact The Heat are playing the first night of a back-to-back set, so his absence Friday indicates he will likely be available Saturday in Utah. His absence means some combination of Max Strus, Haywood Highsmith and Duncan Robinson should see a little more run.
