Norris Cole shot 6-of-7 from the field for 18 points in Friday's 104-94 win over the Bulls, adding two boards, one assist and three 3-pointers.
He's converted all eight attempts from beyond the arc in this series and he's playing head and shoulders better than starter Mario Chalmers (nine points, three assists and three turnovers). Cole is making his case for more minutes and he's been a nice counter to Nate Robinson at the point. Dwyane Wade was also efficient in the win, making 5-of-7 from the field for 10 points with four boards and five assists in 36 minutes. May 10 - 11:30 PM

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole played 41 minutes in Miami's 105-93 win over the Magic on Wednesday, shooting 4-of-10 from the field for nine points with three boards, seven assists and two steals.

He flirted with a triple-double on Monday, so this was a bit of a letdown for those that picked him up. Cole didn't really make any strides in his sophomore year and is unlikely to get more than 20 minutes per game in the postseason with Mike Miller playing well.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole scored 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting (including two threes) with 11 rebounds, nine assists, one steal and one block in the Heat's win over the Cavs on Monday.

Cole also stole the ball from Kyrie Irving on the game's final play to secure the win. Expecting this production from Cole in the season finale is inadvisable even if Mario Chalmers sits out a game, but there's enough for owners to grab onto here to take a long look at picking him up.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole turned the ball over seven times against the Knicks on Tuesday to go with 14 points, two boards, three assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in 42 minutes.

He has a ton of athleticism, but his carelessness with the basketball was on full display tonight. Cole was able to get to the rim nearly at will with the lead-footed Raymond Felton and Jason Kidd guarding him, but his value should take a hit on Friday with the cavalry likely coming back. He can be left on the waiver wire.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

The Heat will start Norris Cole, Mike Miller, Rashard Lewis, Udonis Haslem and Chris Bosh against the Knicks Tuesday.

It's the same starting five that produced a win in San Antonio on Sunday. Bosh is a virtual lock to lead the team in scoring while Cole will push for 40 minutes and Ray Allen will flirt with 30 off the bench. Owners desperate for 3-pointers can take a long look at Miller.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole played 42 minutes with Mario Chalmers unavailable on Sunday, scoring 13 points with four assists and one steal.

Cole's line would have looked better had he made a few more shots (4-of-12 from the field), but he only turned the ball over twice in a controlled performance that ultimately paid off with a road win. Chalmers has missed two straight games and is questionable for Tuesday, giving Cole some short-term potential.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole scored 15 points with three rebounds and six assists as Miami rolled to their 26th straight win on Sunday.

This was one of Cole's finest performances of the season, as he penetrated Charlotte's defense at will and found Miami's shooters for easy buckets. Don't expect a repeat performance in the near future.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole has been eating into Mario Chalmers' minutes late in games.

Despite Chalmers being "entrenched" as the starting point guard, he's been routinely watching from the bench in the fourth quarter. Chalmers and Cole have been splitting minutes at the point pretty evenly of late, and it's a situation worth watching for anyone relying on either player for production.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole returned from a hamstring injury and didn't score while adding one rebound, one assist, one steal and one block vs. the Knicks on Thursday.

Cole missed just one game with the hamstring and he was logging under 20 minutes per game as the backup to Mario Chalmers. Cole would need Chalmers to miss time in order to be on the radar in standard leagues.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole (hamstring) and Udonis Haslem both warmed up for Thursday's game and will play against the Knicks.

Cole and Haslem only serve as spot starters for deeper daily leagues and shouldn't be owned in most formats with Miami basically back to full strength.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole (groin/hamstring) is a game-time decision against the Knicks on Thursday.

Cole couldn't play on Tuesday with the injury, and with Mario Chalmers (finger) also a game-time decision, the Heat could be forced to use LeBron James at point guard.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole will not play on Tuesday due to a slightly strained hamstring/groin.

Cole's absence leaves Mario Chalmers on an island at PG, though Miami doesn't rely much on traditional PG play anyway. The injury is minor and Cole expects to return to action on Thursday.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole scored 12 points in 30 minutes vs. the Nets, hitting 5-of-10 FGs with one 3-pointer, one assist, three steals and zero turnovers.

This was Cole's first game with double-digit points, which tempers our enthusiasm, but it's possible he'll continue to chip into Mario Chalmers' playing time (Chalmers had seven points and six rebounds in 18 minutes). Keep an eye on this minute-share, just in case it tilts decisively in Cole's favor.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole hit a big 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter as his highlight of his seven points, adding three assists, one steal and one block in 39 minutes.

He had a rough start by shooting just 3-of-12 from the field, but this could be a hot stretch for his fantasy value. Mario Chalmers (triceps) could miss time and Cole figures to pick up most of Chalmers 28 minutes per game. He deserves a look in deeper formats as a speculative add.

Norris Cole - G - Heat

Norris Cole scored seven points with four rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes off Miami's bench on Sunday, the third consecutive game he's logged 20+ minutes.

Cole's rise is cutting into Mario Chalmers' playing time, as Mario has failed to crack 27 minutes in those three games. Of the two, Chalmers has considerably more upside thanks to his starting gig and ability to contribute 3-pointers, assists and steals in bunches.
