Our View:This was Wade's most prolific scoring output of the season, topping his previous high of 40. He hit 14-of-29 shots from the field, snared five boards, dished out five assists and put three steals. He has scored at least 22 points in every game this season.

November 4, 2009
Dwyane Wade had a monster performance on Wednesday night to lead the Heat to a four point win over the Wizards. Wade scored 40 points and added five assists and four rebounds in the win.

November 3, 2009
Dwyane Wade poured in a team-high 23 points in Tuesday's 104-96 loss to the Suns, to go along with nine boards, seven assists and two steals.

Our View:The Heat suffered their first loss of the season, but the elite guard had another strong statline for fantasy owners.
November 1, 2009
The AP reports that Dwyane Wade registered his 10,000th point in Sunday's win over the Bulls. He finished the game with 25 points, but just one rebound, three assists, no steals and no blocks.

Our View:Through three games, none of Wade's averages are at last season's levels, but the Heat are 3-0. He is taking 20 shots per game, but needs to be more efficient with them.
October 30, 2009
Dwyane Wade scored a game-high 32 points in Friday's 96-83 win at Indiana. He also had three rebounds, four assists, three steals and a block.

October 28, 2009
Dwyane Wade scored 26 points and grabbed five rebounds and assists a piece, as Miami blew out New York 115-93 on opening night.

Our View:The Heat got meaningful contributions from a lot of players on Wednesday night, and it looks as if maybe Wade won't have to do so much by himself this season.
October 22, 2009
Dwyane Wade struggled a bit on Thursday as the Heat fell to the Hawks 92-87. Wade scored 13 points, but it came on 3-for-11 shooting from the field.

Our View:Wade added five assists and three steals in the contest, so he made his presence felt in other aspects of the game. He is a first-round talent when healthy, and he looks good to go for the regular season.
October 21, 2009
After missing time with a bruised calf, Dwyane Wade returned with a bang on Wednesday as the Heat outlasted the Grizzlies 99-93. Wade finished with 35 points, five rebounds, and two assists in the win.

Our View:If anyone thought Wade would slow down because of the leg injury, you were wrong. He was outstanding tonight, and he is elite as long as he is on the floor.
October 19, 2009
Dwyane Wade returned to the floor on Monday, according to the Miami Herald. Wade practiced in a limited capacity after missing time with his bruised calf.

Our View:Good sign here that Wade was able to get back on the floor, and it looks like he will be ready to go when the season starts if he can keep from aggravating the injury. Fantasy owners should be a little concerned that Wade has been banged up all season, but until his misses regular season time it won't be an issue.
October 18, 2009
Dwyane Wade sat out of Sunday's practice for the Heat with a bruised calf, according to the Miami Herald. Wade is expected to miss Wednesday's preseason game against the Grizzlies.

Our View:The team will be overly cautious with Wade as the preseason winds down, as they can ill-afford for their star to miss any time. The injury doesn't sound too severe, but we will monitor him over the next week or so.
October 18, 2009
Dwyane Wade could miss both Heat preseason games this week as he deals with a calf injury, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Our View:The last thing anyone with a stake in Wade wants to hear is that he is battling injury again. That being said, in addition to averaging a career best 30.2 points per game a season ago, he also played in a career high 79 games. Until proven otherwise, consider his latest ailment minor.
October 17, 2009
Dwyane Wade is day-to-day after injuring his calf on Thursday, according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:His strained rib muscle is doing better, but he'll have to take it easy the next few days now because of his calf. It isn't considered serious, and he should again be an MVP candidate for the Heat this season.
October 16, 2009
Dwyane Wade returned to the court Thursday against the Hornets following his bout with a strained muscle in his ribcage, but suffered a calf injury in the third quarter, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Our View:The elite guard is sore and is hoping he just sustained a bruise. His ribs are feeling better, but will undergo tests on his calf.
October 13, 2009
Dwyane Wade is still dealing with pain from his rib ailment, and is uncertain to participate in Wednesday's preseason game, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Our View:The elite guard noted that the trainers will not want him to take the court until the pain subsides.
October 10, 2009
Dwyane Wade will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Spurs, according to ESPN.com. Wade is dealing with a strained muscle around his left ribs.

Our View:The Heat will be overly cautious with Wade this preseason, as they can ill-afford to be without him this season. Don't expect to see Wade again until he is at or close to 100 percent.
October 7, 2009
Dwyane Wade led the Heat with 17 points on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough as they fell 90-86 to the Magic.

Our View:Wade was a bit off in this one, hitting only 6-of-18 shots from the field and missing on both chances from behind the arc. For a man who hit 49 percent of his shots last season, this effort has to be considered a disappointment. As were his two rebounds and two assists.
October 5, 2009
Dwyane Wade looked good in Monday's 87-83 preseason loss to Detroit, as he scored a game-high 18 points, to go along with three boards, five assists, four steals and one block. He played 26:18 minutes.

Our View:The elite guard should be headed for a strong 2009-10 campaign, if he could just stay healthy.
September 22, 2009
TheScore.com is reporting that the Miami Heat have signed head coach Erik Spoelstra to a contract extension.

Our View:Spoelstra did a nice job with the heat last season, and apparently the front office believes in rewarding coaches who they feel can be successful. With Dwayne Wade heading toward free agency, the team surely too his opinion of Spoelstra into account, meaning Wade is obviously in Spoelstra's corner.
August 14, 2009
According to the New York Daily News, superstar guard Dwyane Wade says that the New Jersey Nets are a serious contender to retain his services next summer.

Our View:Clearly the Heat are still the favorite (having already offered a maximum contract extension) and the Bulls are involved as well, but the Nets will have plenty of money to throw at Wade when the time comes. It could get very interesting down the road.
July 12, 2009
The Miami Herald reports that the Heat have offered Dwyane Wade a maximum contract extension. Wade has not accepted the offer.

Our View:Wade doesn't appear to be happy with the way the Heat have handled free agent signings and their trade possibilities (or lack there of) this offseason and says he wants to test out free agency when eligible. He'd likely get a bundle of money and will surely garner plenty of interest. Looks like he may be donning a new uni after 2010. Formal talks will come later, but he seems to be in no rush to commit to the Heat.
July 6, 2009
Dwyane Wade said he would stay in Miami if the Heat are a title contender, according to SLAM Sports.

Our View:The elite guard could opt out of his contract after the 2009-10 campaign, and his future with the club depends on the progress they make. Simply getting to the playoffs will not be good enough for him.
May 6, 2009
The AP reports that the Heat have already begun discussing a contract extension with guard Dwyane Wade. President Pat Riley calls Wade's extension the top priority of the Heat this summer. Wade is set to become a free agent following next season.

Our View:There shouldn't be a lot of negotiation that goes into this. Wade deserves a max contract and he will get it barring injury. Given his injury history, he would be wise to get the extension signed this summer. The only thing that figures to hold him back would be a desire to play outside of Miami.
May 3, 2009
Dwyane Wade had a game-high 31 points on Sunday, but it wasn't enough as the Hawks ripped the Heat 91-78 in Game Seven. The Heat are now eliminated from postseason play.

Our View:Wade had three rebounds, four assists, a steal and two blocked shots to go along with his 31 points. He took a lot of shots though and didn't show his usual consistency. He was just 10-of-25 from the field and a sloppy 2-of-9 from downtown.
May 2, 2009
Dwyane Wade came up huge for the Heat in Game 6 on Friday, scoring 41 points and adding five rebounds and two assists to force a Game 7.

Our View:Wade is battling through injuries, but he found a way tonight. The Heat will need a repeat performance in Game 7 if they are going to win the series, and if anyone can do it it's D-Wade.
April 29, 2009
Guard Dwyane Wade (back) did not practice on Wednesday morning, but he will play in Game 5 against the Hawks. "I'm the starting shooting guard," he informs the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "I'll be out there no matter what." Wade has been dealing with back spasms.

Our View:Sure, he'll play, but will he also shoot 9-for-26 again from the floor? Wade is trying to downplay the issue, but the Heat could sure use some added support from Jermaine O'Neal, Michael Beasley, and other scorers on Wednesday night.
April 28, 2009
Dwyane Wade is dealing with a back ailment, but expects to be ready to go for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Hawks, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:Wade is averaging 25.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists over the first four games in the series, which is tied 2-2. Wade scored over 25 points in both games that Miami won.
April 27, 2009
Dwyane Wade had 22 points, seven assists, and six rebounds as the Heat fell to the Hawks 81-71 on Monday. The guard battled back spasms throughout the game which may have contributed to his 9-of-26 performance from the field.

Our View:Wade's accumulated injuries may have a big effect on the remainder of the series as the Heat are not much competition without him. He will likely receive a heavy dose of treatment before Game 5, but he is not expected to miss any action.
April 27, 2009
ESPN reports that Dwyane Wade's 106 blocks this past season are the most of any NBA player listed under 6-foot-6 since the stat has been logged.

Our View:As if we needed another reason to boast of Wade's elite fantasy status, his development as a shot-blocker this season should not be overlooked. He registered four blocks in the Heat's last playoff game.
April 25, 2009
Dwyane Wade led all scorers with 29 points as the Heat throttled the Hawks 107-78 on Saturday. He also contributed eight assists, seven rebounds, four three-pointers, four blocks, and a steal.

Our View:This was Wade's best all around game through three playoff games. When he is distributing like this, the Heat are very tough to beat. Look for more of the same from Wade this series. Of course, the four blocks cannot be expected to be repeated.
April 22, 2009
Dwyane Wade hit six three-pointers on his way to 33 points, seven assists, five rebounds, two blocks, and a steal as the Heat won 108-93 in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Our View:Wade was in the zone at the end of the second quarter and became a very effective one man show. He only shot 31.7 percent from three-point range this season, but hit 6-of-10 on Wednesday. Wade benefitted from his teammates ability to hit their shots tonight as the Hawks were no able to defend him with the same focus as they did in Game 1 when he was held to 19 points.
April 21, 2009
Dwyane Wade has had difficulty with the Hawks throughout the season and in Game 1 of the playoffs due to their athleticism and defensive philosophy, according to the Sun-Sentinel. The NBA's leading scorer drew only one shooting foul in Game 1 and attempted just 22 free throws in four regular season games against the Hawks.

Our View:The Hawks double team Wade, but they give him enough cushion so that they simply force him to pass the ball. The team's athleticism helps them stop the ball rather than have to foul Wade to slow him down. If Wade, who had 19 points in Game 1, does not get it going, this could be a quick series in favor of Atlanta.
April 19, 2009
Dwyane Wade was held to 8-of-21 shooting in Sunday's 90-64 loss to the Hawks. He finished with 19 points, five rebounds, five assists, three steals, and eight turnovers.

Our View:We have come to expect far more than this from Wade and the Heat cannot expect to win when he commits this many turnovers. Expect him to bounce back with a strong series.
April 14, 2009
Dwyane Wade will sit out tonight's game at Atlanta to rest for the playoffs, according to the Miami Herald. He is nursing a sprained ankle.

Our View:His status for Wednesday's season finale with the Pistons is yet to be determined, but his minutes will likely be limited if he does play.
April 14, 2009
Dwyane Wade may be held out of tonight's lineup at Atlanta due to his sprained ankle, according to the Sports Network.

Our View:Coach Erik Spoelstra may rest him for the start of the playoffs. We will keep you posted on Wade's status.
April 13, 2009
Dwyane Wade is questionable for Tuesday's game at Atlanta due to his sprained ankle, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Our View:Hopefully Wade will be able to go as he is averaging 37.8 points over his last four games, with 55 coming Sunday against the Knicks.
April 12, 2009
Despite a sore ankle, hip, wrist, and knee, Dwyane Wade went off for 55 points on the Knicks in Sunday's 112-105 win in Miami. He hit 19-of-30 shots while collecting nine rebounds, six treys, four assists, and a block.

Our View:The performance pushes Wade's scoring average over 30 for the season. He has been a dominant force for the whole season, but especially since the all-star break. Many owners were cautious to call his name on draft day, but some would argue that he has been the most valuable player in the game this season.
April 12, 2009
Dwyane Wade is probable for Sunday's game against the Knicks, according to the Sports Network. He is nursing an ankle injury.

Our View:Wade should be fine for fantasy duty, and racked up 46 points, 10 assists, eight boards, four steals and four blocks in his last battle with the Knicks.
April 11, 2009
Dwyane Wade had to leave Friday's game after tweaking his ankle but was able to return shortly thereafter, according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:Wade said he expects the ankle to be sore today, and it's possible he might not play Sunday. Check back for updates.
April 10, 2009
Dwyane Wade scored a game-high 31 points, but it wasn't enough as the Heat fell to the Celtics 105-98.

Our View:Wade had a fine all around game and in addition to the 31 points he snagged three rebounds and dished out nine assists. He was 11-of-20 shooting and had his third straight game of 30 or more points.
April 7, 2009
Dwyane Wade scored a game-high 32 points on Tuesday, but the Heat lost 93-87 to the Hornets at American Airlines Arena.

Our View:Wade also recorded seven boards and six assists. He chucked up 27 field-goal attempts three nights after nearly posting a season-low, with 13 attempts, in a win over Washington.
April 4, 2009
Dwyane Wade scored 33 points in Miami's 118-104 win over the Wizards on Saturday. The all-star also contributed eight assists, five rebounds, four treys, and two steals.

Our View:Wade has accumulated some injuries down the stretch that would likely cause most players to take a night off, but with the Heat in a playoff race, and Wade looking like their only offensive option, he cannot afford that luxury. His 76 games played to this point is impressive in light of the effort he gives on a nightly basis.
April 3, 2009
Dwyane Wade led all scorers with 27 in Miami's 97-92 win over Charlotte on Friday evening. He also finished with 10 assists and four rebounds.

Our View:The NBA's leading scorer stayed true to his average versus the Bobcats this season. He had averaged 27.5 points per game against Charlotte in three contests prior to Friday, but that number was helped a bit by a 41-point effort on Dec. 8.
April 1, 2009
Dwyane Wade did all he could with 23 points, 3 rebounds and six assists, but it wasn't enough as the Heat lost a nail-biter to the Mavericks 98-96 on Wednesday night.

Our View:Not quite the 42 points he put up in his previous game, but fantasy owners don't have much to complain about with Wade this season. He's averaging just a tick under 30 points per game.
March 30, 2009
Dwyane Wade hit 16-of-34 from the field and finished with 42 points in 41 minutes as the Heat fell to the Magic 101-95 at home on Monday. The guard contributed four assists, four rebounds, four steals, a block and a turnover in the loss.

Our View:Wade has to feel another level of defeat on night's like this. However, he has to take some responsibility for the loss as he is usually a much better facilitator than he was on Monday. He had gone eight games without hitting 40, which is actually kind of long for Wade, who leads the league with a 29.8 point per game average.
March 28, 2009
Dwyane Wade put up 27 points while also dishing seven assists with four rebounds and three steals in Miami's 102-85 win over the Bucks.

Our View:Wade hit on 12 of his 21 shots in his last game, and continued his solid shooting with a 9-for-17 night in this contest.
March 26, 2009
Dwyane Wade led all scorers with 31 in a losing effort against the Bulls on Thursday. He added five rebounds and four assists.

Our View:Wade appears to be back on track with his shooting, hitting 12-of-21 from the field and 6-of-8 free throws. Looks like he shook off the rust from a very un-Wade-like performance against the Pacers.
March 25, 2009
Dwyane Wade was held to just 5-of-24 shooting as the Heat fell to the Pacers 90-88 on Wednesday. The guard managed to contribute 21 points, eight assists, four rebounds, and four steals in the loss.

Our View:The last thing the Pacers are known for is their stingy defense, but Wade couldn't hit anything tonight. The player who is probably more responsible for his team's success than any other player in the league cost his team a victory tonight.
March 23, 2009
Dwyane Wade turned in a game-high 27 points and eight assists Monday night as the Heat took care of the Grizzlies 94-82.

Our View:You can throw the lingering effects of that hip flexor out the window. Wade followed up Sunday's performance, during which he was all over the floor while collecting four blocks, with another solid scoring night on Monday.
March 23, 2009
Dwyane Wade is still dealing with soreness in his hip and left knee, but he expects to play in tonight's game against Memphis, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Our View:Wade averages 33 points over his last two games and should be safe to keep active in fantasy lineups, especially with a favorable match-up against the Grizzlies (17-52).
March 22, 2009
Dwyane Wade scored a game-high 39 points on 13-of-23 shooting to lead the Heat to a 101-96 road win at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit.

Our View:Wade's numbers Sunday indicate his hip flexor injury may have cleared up. Compared to Friday when he shot 42 percent from the floor and missed five free-throws, he was more active against the Pistons. He shot 56 percent, made 11-of-14 from the line, collected two steals, and even posted four blocks.
March 22, 2009
Dwyane Wade (hip) is listed as probable for Miami's game Sunday versus the Pistons in Detroit, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Our View:Wade returned from a one-game absence Friday to score 27 points against New Jersey, but he looked uncomfortable at times. Regardless, Wade should play Sunday, especially given Miami is in a heated battle for playoff positioning.
March 20, 2009
Dwyane Wade returned from a hip flexor injury on Friday night to score a game-high 27 points in Miami's 96-88 loss to New Jersey. He also finished with eight boards and six assists.

Our View:True, D-Wade did score 27 points, but it's likely the hip could have played a factor in his 9-for-21 shooting performance. He was also 0-for-3 from behind the arc and just 9-of-14 from the line.
March 20, 2009
The Associated Press reports that Dwyane Wade returned to the Miami Heat lineup Friday night after sitting out one game with a hip flexor.

Our View:Wade told head coach Erik Spoelstra early Friday that he felt fine, and his boss agreed after watching the All-Star forward go through pregame warmups without any problems.
March 20, 2009
Dwyane Wade is uncertain when he will return to the court while recovering from a hip injury, according to the Sun Sentinel. He said, "I just try to be smart about it and see how I feel."

Our View:Wade will be a game-time call for tonight's outing at New Jersey. He missed one game with the ailment so far, Wednesday at Boston.
March 18, 2009
Dwyane Wade missed his first game of the season Wednesday due to a strained right hip, according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:He is considered day-to-day and is nursing some other nagging injuries as well, so there is no telling how long he'll be out. Wade is a gamer though, so expect him to come back as soon as possible.
March 18, 2009
Dwyane Wade is probable for tonight's game at Boston, according to the Sports Network. He is nursing a thigh ailment.

Our View:He should be fine to pencil into fantasy lineups. He racked up 32 points, seven assists and four steals in his last battle with the Celtics.
March 15, 2009
Dwyane Wade on Saturday passed former NBA forward Alonzo Mourning to become the Miami Heat's all-time leading scorer, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:Wade, now with 9,489 career points, passed Mourning's mark of 9,459 with a third-quarter dunk as part of his 50-point performance last night in the Heat's 140-129 overtime win against Utah.
March 14, 2009
Dwyane Wade scored 50 points in Saturday's 140-129 win over Utah, to go along with 10 boards, nine assists, four steals and two blocks. The game took three overtimes to decide.

Our View:Wade reached 50 points for the second time this season, and just missed his first triple-double.
March 13, 2009
Dwyane Wade was given his second-straight day off of practice by head coach Erik Spoelstra to nurse a sore left ankle and right hip, according to the Miami Herald.

Our View:"The ankle is just a twisted ankle; that's just a bump in the road," Wade said. "The hip? I really don't know what it is, maybe just pulled a muscle." Regardless, it'd be shocking if Wade sat out Saturday against Utah. Wade is probably the top fantasy play in all the land at the moment, quite the statement when you consider LeBron James is in the midst of a three-game triple-double streak.
March 11, 2009
Dwyane Wade scored 32 points, dished out seven dimes, and picked up four steals as the Heat beat a short-handed Celtics squad 107-99 on Wednesday.

Our View:Oddly, this is one of his worst games since the all-star break. It was just the fifth time he has scored less than 35 points since February 12.
March 10, 2009
After racking up 48 points on Monday night in the Heat's 130-127 OT win, Wade was given the day off by coach Erik Spoelstra, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Our View:Wade is putting up MVP numbers and has been red hot of late. He has poured in 40 or more points in five of the Heat's last nine games since February 22.
March 9, 2009
Dwyane Wade had plenty of time to rack up points on Monday in a double overtime win against the Bulls, but that doesn't make his 48-point performance any less impressive. He also chipped in 12 assists, six rebounds, four steals, and three blocks. His biggest three points came after he knocked the ball away and threw up a shot at the buzzer to end the second overtime period.

Our View:Wade is certainly back. He has now scored 40+ points in four of his last six games and scored 35 in one of the two exceptions over that stretch.
March 6, 2009
Dwyane Wade shot 17-of-23 from the floor en route to a 42-point performance in Miami's 108-102 win over Toronto Friday night.

Our View:Save for a rather pedestrian 21-point game on Feb. 27, Wade has scored at least 25 points in every game since the All-Star break.
March 5, 2009
Dwyane Wade said he should be considered for the NBA's MVP award along with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, the Orlando Sun-Sentinel reports. "Where I came from last year, people were writing me off," Wade said. "You've got some people who call it a two-horse race, and you've got some people who say, 'Don't forget about D-Wade.'"

Our View:Of the big three, Wade leads with 29.3 points and 7.5 assists per game. Considering expectations surrounding the Heat were a lot lower coming into the season, if the Heat manages to qualify for the playoffs, Wade may very well get the nod.
March 4, 2009
Dwyane Wade contniued his incredible post-all-star run with 36 points and 16 assists on Wednesday. He hit 13-of-21 shots and committed just one turnover.

Our View:In eight games since the all-star break, Wade is averaging 35.8 points, 10.9 assists, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.8 steals while hitting more than 50 percent of his shots in every game. If he's not getting MVP talk by now, we're not sure why.
March 3, 2009
Dwyane Wade was given the day off on Tuesday to receive treatment on his sore left knee, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Our View:"Just 60 games into the season, you get typical soreness from playing a lot of minutes and pounding, doing a lot of things on the court, trying to get wins," Wade said. "I'm just trying to take care of my body and do everything I can." The soreness does not appear to be anything too serious, and Wade is fully expected to play Wednesday night against Phoenix.
March 2, 2009
Dwyane Wade did everything possible to keep his team in it, but the Heat eventually lost to the Cavaliers 107-100 on Monday. Wade finished with 41 points, nine assists, seven rebounds, and seven steals, while hitting 16-of-30 shots.

Our View:Of course, he also had an impressive eight turnovers and continues to be near the top of the league in that category. We can more than forgive him though, due to his elite all-around production while playing next to a second-round rookie at point guard.

February 18, 2009

February 15, 2009
The Orlando Sun-Sentinel reports that Miami forward Dwyane Wade may be using All-Star weekend to recruit upcoming free agents to join the Heat the season after next. LeBron James, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, and Kobe Bryant are just some of the big names scheduled to enter free agency in 2010. "It's a topic," Wade said. "There's so many of those guys around, it comes up."

Our View:Coaches and players alike tread a fine line when attempting to lure a impending free agent to their respective teams. If what is intended to be playful conversation gets misconstrued, an organization could incur league penalties.
February 12, 2009

February 10, 2009
Dwyane Wade scored a game-high 33 points Tuesday night, but it came in a losing cause, as the Heat fell to the Nuggets 99-82 at American Airlines Arena.

February 2, 2009

Our View:Wade is typically good for better all-around production than this, but he couldn't get his teammates involved as much as usual tonight. He may be feeling the added stress of having to carry more responsibility for the team as Shawn Marion missed his fifth straight game with a groin injury.
January 31, 2009
Dwyane Wade speculated that both he and LeBron James could wind up in New York in 2010, according to the New York Post. "It could happen. We both understand that. We both signed the same contract. We did it together. More than anything, it's fun to think about. It's exciting to know we both control our future. Will it happen? Who knows," Wade said.

Our View:Both players will be free agents in the summer of 2010. Obviously teams are aware of this, so many are trying to clear cap space for that season in an attempt to sign one of them or others in a free-agent class that also includes players like Chris Bosh.
