Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. records 20 points, six assists
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 4:45 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. accounted for 20 points (8-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: After totaling 13 points on 5-of-18 shooting in the prior two games, Jaquez ended Miami's five-game road trip on a positive note. After scoring 20 points or more in two games last season, he's up to 12 just past the halfway point of the 2025-26 campaign. And with Tyler Herro (ribs) out, Jaquez is one of the Heat players who boasts a higher fantasy ceiling due to the increased opportunities to contribute offensively. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell corrals 10 rebounds vs. Phoenix
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 4:44 PM
Norman Powell amassed 16 points (5-of-21 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: The positive for Powell and those who have him rostered was that he recorded his first double-double of the season on Sunday. The downside was that he had a brutal night shooting the basketball. Powell made two of his 11 attempts from beyond the arc and shot 30 percent from two in one of his most inefficient efforts of the season. While Powell didn't shoot the ball well in the final two games of Miami's road trip, his overall fantasy value remains in a good place. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo scores team-high 22 points vs. PHX
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 4:43 PM
Bam Adebayo finished Sunday's win over the Suns with 22 points (6-of-16 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Adebayo scored at least 22 points in each of the final four games of Miami's five-game west coast swing, picking up the slack to help account for the absences of Tyler Herro and Kel'el Ware. Over the past two weeks, the Heat captain has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats. After a slow start to the season, Adebayo is providing the value that fantasy managers hoped to get from him immediately. The Heat play four games in Week 15, but they won't play their first until Wednesday. |

Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 1:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 12:09 PM
Norman Powell (back) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Powell has played through lower back tightness for the last two games and appears set to do it again Sunday. The 32-year-old shooting guard was upgraded to probable Sunday evening and is likely to suit up against the Suns. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio could see extra minutes if Powell is unable to play. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) downgraded to out
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 12:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Sunday's game will be the third that Mitchell has missed with a sprained left shoulder. Kasparas Jaku?ionis (face) has started the last two, but he's questionable. If the rookie can't play, Dru Smith will likely be the next man up at point guard. |
|
Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) probable Sunday
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 9:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Wiggins is dealing with tightness in his left hamstring, but the probable tag is a good sign regarding his chances of playing in Phoenix. He hasn't missed a game since November 24. If that changes on Sunday, Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are the most likely options to start if Wiggins can't play. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (back) questionable Sunday vs. PHX
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 9:27 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Powell has played through lower back tightness the last two games, most recently logging 25 minutes in Saturday's blowout win over the Jazz. If he's unable to play, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio would take on added importance, with one likely moving into the starting five. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) doubtful Sunday vs. PHX
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 9:24 AM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Mitchell has missed Miami's last two games with a sprained left shoulder, and it appears likely that he'll miss a third on Sunday. Kasparas Jaku?ionis has started the last two games, but he's questionable with a facial contusion. If both are unable to play, Dru Smith will likely move into the starting lineup. He would be worth streaming in that scenario. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? records 23 points, full stat line
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 6:07 PM
Nikola Jovi? accounted for 23 points (6-of-12 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: With Kel'el Ware (hamstring) out, Jovi? has essentially been Bam Adebayo's backup in recent games. That's required some adjusting on his part. After struggling in the first three games of the Heat's west coast trip, Jovi? had one of his best games of the season on Saturday. He finished with his fourth 20-point game and first since December 29. With Ware already back in Miami, Jovi? will once again take on an expanded role on Sunday in Phoenix. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins records 17/6/6/1 line vs. Utah
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 6:07 PM
Andrew Wiggins accounted for 17 points (6-of-12 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: While he hasn't lit up the scoreboard, Wiggins' consistency has made him a reliable option in category leagues. Over the past two weeks, he's ranked just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats. Tyler Herro's absence hasn't led to a groundswell of scoring opportunities for Wiggins, but that isn't particularly surprising, given Wiggins' production throughout the season. The Heat end Week 14 with a game against the Suns on Sunday. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson drops 20 points in 25 minutes
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 6:06 PM
Pelle Larsson amassed 20 points (7-of-11 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: While Larsson has started the Heat's last six games, his offensive production has been inconsistent. Given the trend in his first five starts, the second-year wing was due for a double-digit scoring effort after tallying six points in Thursday's loss to the Trail Blazers. Larsson was up to the task, with the 20 points being the most he's recorded in a game since December 26. With Tyler Herro (ribs) out indefinitely, Larsson is worth a look in deep leagues, despite the inconsistent offensive output. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo hits four triples, scores 26 points
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 6:06 PM
Bam Adebayo finished Saturday's win over the Jazz with 26 points (8-of-19 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 15 rebounds, two assists, one block and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Miami's January 19 loss to the Warriors may have been the low point for Adebayo, who shot 1-of-13 from the field that night. He's scored at least 25 points in each of the three games since, posting a double-double in each of the last two. Over the past two weeks, Adebayo has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats, even with that poor showing against the Warriors. Miami ends its Week 14 slate on Sunday in Phoenix. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) downgraded to out
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 1:22 PM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Mitchell will miss a second consecutive game with a left shoulder injury. While Kasparas Jaku?ionis should get another start, he played 11 ineffective minutes in Thursday's loss to the Trail Blazers. There's no need to consider streaming Jaku?ionis. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (finger) available Saturday vs. Jazz
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 7:52 AM
Pelle Larsson (finger) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Larsson was initially listed as probable with a finger injury to his left hand, so his availability was expected Saturday. The 24-year-old guard should continue to start with Tyler Herro (rib) out, but he hasn't proven to be a worthwhile streamer yet. |
|
Norman Powell Norman Powell (back) available Saturday vs. Jazz
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 7:34 AM
Norman Powell (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Analysis: Powell was on the injury report with a back injury for the second consecutive game, but the 32-year-old shooting guard won't miss any time. Powell had 18 points in 28 minutes against the Trail Blazers on Thursday. |
|
Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (finger) probable vs. Utah
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 1:29 PM
NBA Injury Report
Pelle Larsson (finger) is probable to play against the Jazz on Saturday.
Analysis: Larsson is managing a finger issue in his left hand, but that isn't expected to keep him sidelined against Utah. He has been starting with Tyler Herro (rib) unavailable, which has led to limited production. Larsson should continue to start, but he isn't an enticing streamer. |
|
Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) questionable vs. Utah
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 1:20 PM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Jazz on Saturday.
Analysis: Mitchell missed Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, which allowed Kasparas Jaku?ionis to start in his place. Jaku?ionis should start again if Mitchell remains out, but he only played 11 unproductive minutes against Portland and shouldn't be considered as a streaming option against Utah. |
|
Norman Powell Norman Powell (back) questionable vs. Utah
Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 1:13 PM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (back) is questionable to play against the Jazz on Saturday.
Analysis: Powell was able to play through the back injury on Thursday, but he is back on the injury report because of it in this one. If he is unable to suit up, Dru Smith will likely slot into the starting unit if Powell is unavailable. |
