Available Saturday
Ware (quadriceps) is available for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Ware was added to the injury report due to a right quadriceps contusion but will shed his probable tag and suit up in the second leg of Miami's back-to-back set. The second-year center has started five consecutive contests, racking up four double-doubles over that stretch.

Probable Saturday
Ware (quadriceps) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis
Ware was not included on the Heat's initial injury report but is now listed as probable due to a right quadriceps contusion. Still, the second-year center is likely to suit up in the second leg of the team's back-to-back set. He has started five consecutive contests, racking up four double-doubles over that stretch.

Double-doubles in start
Ware registered 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 126-111 win over the Hawks.
Analysis
Ware started for the fifth straight game, taking advantage of the fact that Bam Adebayo was out due to a back injury. This allowed Ware to play at least 30 minutes for the third time in the past five games, an encouraging sign when it comes to his long-term fantasy value. In six appearances over the past two weeks, Ware has been able to put up first-round value, averaging 16.8 points, 13.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 2.5 three-pointers in 27.6 minutes per game.

Dominant in loss
Ware produced 28 points (11-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 20 rebounds and one steal across 35 minutes of Sunday's 132-125 loss to the Knicks.
Analysis
Ware was dominant for Miami, posting a career-high 28 points while matching his career-high mark of 20 boards. He also finished one triple shy of his career-high mark. Now back in the starting lineup, Ware is thriving with 24.7 points, 15.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.7 blocks and 4.0 three-pointers over his last three games. However, it's unclear if he'll stick in that role once Tyler Herro (toe) returns to action.
