Wed May 4 202218:52P.J. Tucker Expected To Play On Wednesday
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is likely to play during Game 2 of the postseason series with Philadelphia. Tucker continues to battle a right calf strain, an injury he's dealt with for quite some time now. As a result, his expected presence in the lineup on Wednesday night shouldn't surprise DFS enthusiasts by any means. The veteran was three rebounds shy of a double-double in Game 1, so the potential is there for managers looking for a viable value option in tournament formats.

Wed May 4 202210:32P.J. Tucker, Caleb Martin Earn Questionable Tags For Game 2
Miami Heat forwards P.J. Tucker (calf) and Caleb Martin (ankle) are both listed as questionable for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Wednesday. Both players played through their injuries in Game 1, so the expectation is that they will be good to for Game 2. Tucker should be part of the starting five while Martin will be one of the team's primary bench players. Neither player is particularly enticing for DFS purposes as they both primarily contribute in ways that don't show up on the stat sheet.

Sun May 1 202219:30P.J. Tucker Listed On Injury Report Once Again
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is once again listed on the league's official injury report. The veteran is questionable ahead of the series-opening match versus Philadelphia on Monday night due to a nagging right calf strain. However, he's been playing with the ailment throughout all of the postseason, so it's highly unlikely he won't be available for Game 1. Tucker has averaged 9.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists throughout the playoffs thus far, so he'll be an attractive DFS option, assuming he plays, primarily since he is seemingly always in the running to surpass his value.

Sun Apr 24 202218:55P.J. Tucker Active For Game 4, Will Start
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is available on Sunday evening versus Atlanta. The 36-year-old wasn't expected to sit out for this one, primarily since the ailment hasn't forced the veteran to miss a game yet during the postseason. He's averaging 10 points, six boards, and two assists throughout the postseason, and considering Bam Adebayo's recent offensive struggles and the absence of Kyle Lowry (hamstring), Tucker could conceivably exceed his DFS value.

Sun Apr 24 202200:13P.J. Tucker Appears On The Injury Report Once Again
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is questionable ahead of Sunday's postseason contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran is once again on the injury report because of a right calf strain, an ailment he's been dealing with for a while now. The 36-year-old has averaged 10 points and six boards throughout the postseason, and with Bam Adebayo (quadriceps) seemingly hindered by a nagging contusion, Tucker's DFS ceiling could continue to be slightly higher than usual.

Sun Apr 17 202211:54P.J. Tucker Likely Good To Go On Sunday
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is expected to play in Game 1 of the first-round meeting against the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran has been dealing with a right calf strain, although he's been adamant he'd be good to go for this one. It also appears Markieff Morris (hip) will be available. However, neither man offers much from a fantasy standpoint, at least consistently, so DFS managers should look in another direction when constructing their lineups.

Sat Apr 16 202214:53P.J. Tucker Officially Questionable For Sunday, Says He’ll Play
Miami Heat power forward P.J. Tucker (calf) has been tagged as questionable to play in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs Sunday vs. Atlanta due to a right calf strain, but the veteran has insisted that he will suit up. Tucker has appeared in just one outing since April 2, which could limit the time that he sees on the floor Sunday, cutting into his DFS intrigue. Regardless, Tucker is known more for his in-game intangibles, making him a finicky DFS option. In three regular-season meetings with the Hawks, Tucker averaged 9.7 PPG.

Thu Apr 14 202221:39P.J. Tucker Limited In Thursday's Practice
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) logged a limited practice on Thursday. According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, he was putting up some shots on the side during the team's practice. Tucker has been out since April 5 due to a strained right calf. On Wednesday, he declared himself "ready" for Game 1 of the playoffs, which will be on Sunday against either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Atlanta Hawks. It seems more likely than not that he'll be on the court for Sunday's game, but we'd expect that the team wants him to log a full practice first. We'll see if he's able to do so in the next few days.

Wed Apr 13 202214:41P.J. Tucker Expects To Return For Game 1 Sunday
Miami Heat power forward P.J. Tucker (calf) has declared himself "ready" for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference playoffs Sunday against an opponent still to be determined. Tucker missed the final two regular-season outings due to a Grade 1 calf strain, but he should reclaim his usual role among the starting five as the postseason kicks off. A tricky DFS asset due to his limited scoring upside, Tucker has averaged just 5.2 PPG across his last 19 outings, which has featured just one double-digit scoring performance. Fantasy managers can consider Tucker a full-go barring any last-minute setbacks.

Thu Apr 7 202215:21P.J. Tucker To Miss Final Two Regular Season Games
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) was diagnosed with a calf strain after undergoing an MRI. He is set to be re-evaluated in a week. This rules him out for the remainder of the regular season. The 36-year-old played in 71 games this season and started in 70 of them. He was a big factor on the defensive end of the court, but didn't have a ton of statistical production. He logged 27.9 minutes per contest and averaged 7.6 points and 5.5 rebounds per game. We could see the team lean more heavily on Caleb Martin with Tucker out.

Sat Mar 26 202214:40P.J. Tucker Tagged As Questionable For Saturday
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He was able to play through the knee issue on Friday. However, the Heat might take the cautious approach in the second game of the back-to-back set. The Heat already have a large enough injury report, so hopefully Tucker can tough it out. Otherwise, Markieff Morris could see an expanded role and be a possible streaming option.

Thu Mar 17 202217:04P.J. Tucker Uncertain For Friday
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was able to play 32 minutes during Tuesday's game. Although, Tucker has been dealing with left knee pain for quite some time now. There's a decent chance that the Heat decide to give Tucker the night off on Friday. Markieff Morris could have some short-term while, assuming Tucker hits the sideline.

Thu Mar 3 202215:08Max Strus, P.J. Tucker Questionable For Thursday
Miami Heat guard Max Strus (shoulder) and forward P.J. Tucker (knee) are listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Strus has seen his value decrease lately, but he could see an uptick on Thursday. Jimmy Butler (toe) is questionable, while Kyle Lowry (personal) remains out. That being said, Strus could be asked to play a bigger role in this contest. Possibly, Omer Yurtseven gets on the court, assuming Tucker sits out. He has been reliable when he does play, but it's uncertain if the Heat will use Yurtseven on Thursday.

Sat Feb 5 202218:43P.J. Tucker Receives Green Light To Play Saturday
Miami Heat power forward P.J. Tucker (knee) has battled left knee irritation as of late, but he has been cleared to take his usual spot among the starting five for Saturday's game vs. Charlotte. Tucker has been on a scoring burst over his last five outings, averaging 13.8 PPG, all while shooting 54.5 percent from behind the arc. Entering Saturday as the league's leader in three-point percentage (47.2%), Tucker has had his best scoring season (8.7 PPG) since 2014-15. While he can be a difficult DFS asset to pinpoint, the Hornets play at the league's second-fastest pace, which stands to elevate Tucker's upside, especially at his favorable price.

Wed Feb 2 202223:02P.J. Tucker In Danger Of Missing Another Game
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (knee) may miss Thursday's contest in San Antonio. The veteran continues to deal with left knee irritation, and with Jimmy Butler (toe), Kyle Lowry (personal), and Caleb Martin (Achilles) questionable, the timing couldn't be any worse. Nonetheless, there is a lot of uncertainty entering this one. However, if Butler or Lowry are in uniform, Tucker's fantasy value will drop considerably, even if he is healthy enough to go.

Sun Jan 23 202216:31P.J. Tucker Questionable Against The Lakers
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Lakers. After only eight minutes of work, the veteran quickly exited Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks because of a left calf injury. With Tyler Herro out because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols and Kyle Lowry (personal) set to miss his fourth consecutive outing, Duncan Robinson, Max Strus, and Gabe Vincent should benefit.

Wed Dec 29 202119:09Gabe Vincent, P.J. Tucker Land In COVID-19 Protocols
Miami Heat point guard Gabe Vincent and power forward P.J. Tucker have both been placed in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, ruling them out indefinitely. Miami was originally scheduled to play San Antonio on Wednesday, but they were unable to have eight players active, forcing a postponement. Vincent has been one of the league's breakout performers during December, enjoying a nine-game stretch among the starting five where he has averaged 14.3 points and 4.7 assists on a nightly basis. Tucker has not played since Dec. 19 due to a leg injury, and he now has multiple hurdles to clear before he can return to action.

Tue Dec 28 202118:43P.J. Tucker Continues Absence For Tuesday’s Contest
Miami Heat power forward P.J. Tucker (leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Washington, marking his fourth consecutive absence due to a leg ailment. The Heat have had to deal with near perpetual injury issues throughout the 2021-22 campaign, with Max Strus, Caleb Martin, and Gabe Vincent all stepping into larger roles with the rotation shuffling. While much of Tucker's value derives from his real life defensive efforts, the veteran has enjoyed a resurgent December when healthy, knocking down triples at a 50% clip while averaging 10 points and five rebounds per contest. His next opportunity to get back onto the floor comes Wednesday vs. the Spurs.

Wed Dec 22 202115:14P.J. Tucker Ruled Out For Thursday
Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (leg) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The MRI on Tucker came back negative on Tuesday. Despite that, the Heat are going to take the cautious approach and rest the veteran forward. The hope is that this won't be a long term absence for Tucker. In the meantime, KZ Okpala should get additional playing time. He scored 16 points in 23 minutes during Tuesday's game. That being said, he could have some low-end streaming appeal while the Heat are banged up.

Tue Dec 14 202108:00P.J. Tucker Scores Season-High 23 Points Against Cleveland
Miami Heat power forward P.J. Tucker was feeling it against Cleveland on Monday, shooting 9-for-15 from the field and 5-for-8 from outside en route to a season-high 23 points. He added nine rebounds and five assists to his tally with one block and three turnovers in 35 minutes. Tucker rarely does anything offensively and this will have been a very pleasant surprise for fantasy managers. He also had a 15-point effort last week, so it seems like the veteran has found some offensive rhythm. Miami's injuries have helped his situation as well. Tucker faces a tough matchup next against the Sixers, but he can close the week against struggling Orlando and Detroit.
