Love had four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Pistons. Since missing a Dec. 2 loss to Boston due to a back issue, Love has appeared in five straight games. However, he's played double-digit minutes three times during that stretch and scored in double figures only twice. Across 14 appearances this season (four starts), the veteran big man has averaged 11.8 minutes per game.

Kevin Love Latest News
Minor role continues
Love had four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Pistons. Since missing a Dec. 2 loss to Boston due to a back issue, Love has appeared in five straight games. However, he's played double-digit minutes three times during that stretch and scored in double figures only twice. Across 14 appearances this season (four starts), the veteran big man has averaged 11.8 minutes per game.
Good to go Wednesday
Love (back) will play Wednesday versus the Lakers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Love ascended to probable Wednesday morning, and he will officially suit up Wednesday night. The 36-year-old has averaged 5.4 points and 5.8 rebounds despite shooting just 25.0 percent from the field across his last five contests.
Upgraded to probable
Love (back spasms) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers. Love was probable for Monday's game against Boston before he was ultimately ruled out, so it's not a guarantee that he will suit up. If he does play, he may be limited to minutes in the lower teens.
Questionable for Wednesday
Love (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports. Love has missed two of Miami's past four games due to a back issue and could remain sidelined Wednesday. Even if available, the veteran figures to have a limited role, as he's averaged 12.3 minutes per game across his last nine appearances (four starts).
Downgraded to out
Love (back) will not play Monday against Boston. Love was previously labeled as probable, but the Heat will take a cautious approach with the veteran Monday. Haywood Highsmith could see a slight uptick in minutes with Love sidelined.
Probable for Monday
Love (back spasms) is probable for Monday's game against Boston. Love has been battling back spasms for a while, but it appears that he will push through them Monday. The veteran has averaged just 12.3 minutes across nine regular-season appearances so far.
Will play Friday
Love (back) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors. Love missed Wednesday's win over the Hornets due to back spasms, but he'll be available off the bench in this one. His return shouldn't generate a big impact in fantasy formats, however, as he's averaged a mere 12.6 minutes per game across seven outings off the bench this season.
Iffy for Friday
Love (back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors. Love was sidelined for Wednesday's win over the Hornets due to back spasms that cropped up Tuesday against the Bucks. If the veteran is sidelined again, Pelle Larsson and Kel'el Ware are candidates for a few extra minutes.
Won't play Wednesday
Love (back) will not play Wednesday against the Hornets. Love battled back spasms Tuesday against the Bucks and was unable to return, so it's not a surprise to see him being held out. Kel'el Ware and Pelle Larsson are candidates to see a few extra minutes Wednesday.
