Flirts with double-double in win Oladipo accumulated 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 victory over the Magic.

Impact Oladipo was highly productive in the regular season finale, falling just two assists short of a double-double. Although it has been a disappointing season for the veteran, the fact he has been relatively healthy should be viewed as a huge positive. Should the Heat progress to the playoffs, Oladipo could find himself inserted into the rotation at times, depending on the specific situation. Looking ahead to next season, it's hard to see him being anything more than a role player, much like he was this season.

Heat's Oladipo not quite feeling the burn about being thrown into the fire Miami Heat's Victor Oladipo remains at the NBA injury-report mercy of others when it comes to playing time.

MARCH 29, 2023 • SUN-SENTINEL.COM

Spot start yields nothing Oladipo produced seven points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 106-92 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Oladipo moved into the starting lineup Tuesday, replacing Jimmy Butler who was ruled out due to neck soreness. Despite the promotion, Oladipo remained a non-factor, much like he has for the past few weeks. Prior to Tuesday, he had not even been in the rotation, meaning there is no need for anyone to go adding him based on his uptick in playing time.

Fails to make offensive impact Oladipo closed Saturday's 113-99 loss to Chicago with two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 16 minutes.

Impact Oladipo was completely out of the rotation during Wednesday's loss to Memphis and saw a season-low 16 minutes Saturday with Kyle Lowry (rest) sidelined. Barring numerous injuries, Oladipo's chances of cracking relevancy during the fantasy playoffs are extremely low.

Can't find it Oladipo closed Saturday's 126-114 overtime loss to the Magic with nine points (3-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 24 minutes.

Impact Oladipo nearly replicated his season-long averages of 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game. It came on extreme inefficiency Saturday, and Oladipo isn't trending upward. He's hit just 26.3 percent of his threes over his last three games.

Dazzles off bench Monday Oladipo accumulated 22 points (6-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three assists , two rebounds and two blocks over 32 minutes during Monday's 130-128 victory over the Hawks.

Impact After missing the Heat's first seven games of February while recovering from an ankle injury, Oladipo had been struggling mightily upon returning to action following the All-Star break. He had averaged just 5.5 points in 21.5 minutes per game while shooting 30 percent from the field in his first six games out of the break, but he finally broke through Monday and was rewarded with ample playing time as a result. Though the performance is a step in the right direction, Oladipo may need to string together multiple quality games in a row before he re-emerges as a dependable option in 12-team points or categories leagues.

Butler scores 26, Heat bench adds 59 in 130-128 win vs Hawks

Jimmy Butler had 26 points, Victor Oladipo and Caleb Martin combined for 43 off the Miami bench and the Heat held off the Atlanta Hawks 130-128

MARCH 7, 2023 • Associated Press

Continues to struggle Oladipo closed Saturday's 117-109 victory over the Hawks with five points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and six assists across 21 minutes.

Impact Since returning from a seven-game absence due to an ankle injury, Oladipo is averaging just 5.5 points while shooting 30.0 percent from the field. His recent offensive struggles haven't resulted in a reduced role yet, as he's still playing 21.5 minutes per game during that stretch, but fantasy managers should steer clear of the veteran guard until he's breaks out of his current slump.

ASK IRA: Has Victor Oladipo gone from Heat boon to ballast? Has Miami Heat's Victor Oladipo regressed this season?

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • SUN-SENTINEL.COM

Rough night in return Oladipo (ankle) accumulated two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists over 20 minutes during Friday's 128-99 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Oladipo returned to action after missing the Heat's previous seven games due to an ankle injury. As expected, he played limited minutes off the bench, and his role may not grow over the next few games while Miami has all of its other key guards available sans Kyle Lowry (knee). Though Oladipo had periods this season when he was a relevant option in 12-team category and points leagues, he's likely best viewed as a streamer for assists and steals in his current role.

Miami Heat's Victor Oladipo Available For Tonight's Game Against Milwaukee Bucks Oladipo was dealing with an ankle injury

FEBRUARY 24, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Left off injury report Oladipo (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Bucks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Oladipo's absence streak will end at seven games as he is available for Friday's matchup with Milwaukee. He will likely compete with Max Strus and Duncan Robinson for bench minutes. Oladipo is averaging 7.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 steals in 27.4 minutes across his last five appearances.

FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Oladipo (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Oladipo missed the previous seven games before the All-Star break due to a right ankle sprain. The 30-year-old guard said Thursday his ankle is feeling better but is being patient with his injury. If Oladipo can't suit up Friday, his next chance to play is Saturday's matchup with Charlotte.

FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out for final game of first half Oladipo (ankle) will remain out for Wednesday's game in Brooklyn, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Though head coach Erik Spoelstra said Sunday that Oladipo had a chance to return for the Heat's final two games before the All-Star break, the 30-year-old will ultimately remained sidelined with a right ankle sprain. With the benefit of some added healing time during the break, Oladipo should have a good chance at being available for the Heat's first game of the second half Feb. 24 in Milwaukee, though he'll likely have to practice beforehand in full capacity.

FEBRUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Oladipo (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Nuggets.

Impact Oladipo will miss a sixth straight game due to a sprained right ankle. He'll have only one more chance (Wednesday in Brooklyn) to suit up before the All-Star break begins. Head coach Erik Spoelstra said Saturday that Oladipo has a realistic chance to play before the break, so he could make his return against the Nets, though his status for that game likely won't come for a few days.

FEBRUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Saturday Oladipo (ankle) will not play in Saturday's game against the Magic, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Oladipo will miss a fifth consecutive tilt with a sprained right ankle. His next opportunity to play will come Monday against the Nuggets.
