Goran Dragic (back, knee) questionable for Heat Monday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic is questionable to play Monday against the Houston Rockets with a lower back ailment and right knee injury recovery.

What It Means:

Dragic sat out the last back-to-back and the Heat may go with the same approach Monday after the veteran logged over 30 minutes in Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Jimmy Butler (ankle) is also questionable and Tyler Herro (foot) and Bam Adebayo (knee) have been ruled out, potentially setting up Kendrick Nunn for a significant offensive role. Gabe Vincent could also see more run if Dragic joins Herro on the sidelines.

numberFire’s models project Dragic for 21.7 FanDuel points versus the Rockets and he has a salary of $4,400 on Monday. Nunn is registering a 30.0 percent usage rate and averaging 1.0 FanDuel points per minute with Adebayo, Herro, Butler, and Dragic off the court this season. He has a salary of $4,800 on Monday's nine-game slate.
