Pratt’s Play of the Day (October 25)
Tyler Herro
After a disappointing sophomore season, Herro was very vocal about proving the doubters wrong heading into his third professional campaign. So far, he’s doing exactly that. The Kentucky product has come out firing, scoring 43+ DKFP in each of Miami’s first two contests. The Heat have confidently put the ball in Herro’s hands coming off the bench, as shown by his 35.4 average usage rate. At $6,400, he could be even more of a steal if Kyle Lowry (ankle) is unable to suit up. Keep an eye on Lowry’s status, but you can feel comfortable rostering Herro even if the veteran point guard plays.
