Won't start Monday
Fontecchio is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Spurs, Zachary Weinberger of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analyse
Fontecchio started each of the past two contests, pouring in an efficient 21 points against the Rockets on Saturday. However, he'll shift back to the bench Monday as the Heat roll out a starting lineup of Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Pelle Larsson, Andrew Wiggins and Bam Adebayo. In 56 games as a reserve this season, Fontecchio is averaging 8.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 16.3 minutes per contest.

Available to play Saturday
Fontecchio (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analyse
Fontecchio popped up on the injury report due to a back issue, but the fourth-year pro has been cleared to play in Saturday's game. He'll likely start against Houston due to the absence of Andrew Wiggins (toe).

Questionable for Saturday
Fontecchio (back) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Houston.
Analyse
With Andrew Wiggins (toe) ruled out, Fontecchio would likely be squandering an opportunity to start if he's unable to play. Kel'el Ware could be in line for an expanded role Saturday.

Starting Thursday
Fontecchio is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Lakers, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
Analyse
Fontecchio is replacing Norman Powell in the starting lineup for Thursday's game, and it'll be Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Pelle Larsson and Bam Adebayo joining Fontecchio in the first unit. Through five starts this season, the 30-year-old forward has averaged 9.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 treys per game.

Notches 10 points in loss
Fontecchio had 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 136-106 loss to the Hornets.
Analyse
The Heat were a little shorthanded Tuesday, allowing Fontecchio to see an expanded role. It's worth noting, however, that Keshad Johnson made a really strong impression on the coaching staff, and he could be a threat to Fontecchio's minutes going forward.
