Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. tallies 22 points, seven assists
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 4:56 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. finished Saturday's loss to the Magic with 22 points (9-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: On a night when Tyler Herro (10/6/5 with one block and two three-pointers) struggled in his first game back from an injury, Jaquez did his best to compensate. He scored seven points in the fourth quarter, but the Heat's late rally fell four points short. While Jaquez's fantasy value has not been good enough to make him a must-roster player in all leagues, he's worth holding onto in 12-team category leagues. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (groin) scores 20 points in return
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 4:56 PM
Norman Powell (groin) recorded 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), one rebound, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Powell returned to action after missing seven games with a groin injury, and he was used in a reserve role. However, he played 31 minutes and put up a respectable stat line. The Heat are off until Tuesday, and that may be when Powell returns to the starting lineup. If so, Kel'el Ware may be the player most likely headed to the bench. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo records 20 points, four steals
Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 4:53 PM
Bam Adebayo amassed 20 points (6-of-15 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, four steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Bam was bound to cool off after dropping 83 points on Tuesday, but putting up 20-plus in consecutive games is nothing to scoff at. The Heat center has scored at least 20 points in nine straight games, and he's been a third-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. The Heat play three games in Week 21, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday. |

Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Pelle Larsson, Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware will start Saturday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Herro is back after sitting out the last two games with a quad injury, and his return pushes Kasparas Jaku?ionis to the bench. Also of note is Norman Powell coming off the bench in his return from a back injury, leaving Larsson in the starting lineup. |

Anthony Chiang
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Absent from the initial injury report, Jaquez developed tightness in his left hip after the team's pregame walkthrough. If he's unable to play, the Heat will rely more on Simone Fontecchio and Pelle Larsson. |

Analysis: Wiggins has missed Miami's last four games with a toe injury, and Saturday's game will be the fifth. While Myron Gardner had been the replacement in the starting lineup, Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra called on Kel'el Ware to fill the void in Thursday's win over the Bucks. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson scores career-high 28 points
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 4:54 PM
Pelle Larsson led the Heat with 28 points (9-of-14 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in a 112-105 win over the Bucks on Thursday.
Analysis: The second-year guard has been a starter for most of the season for Miami, but he hasn't been a consistent fantasy contributor. However, he was productive in this game and ended up setting a new career high for scoring while still contributing in other categories. The former second-round pick should continue to play big minutes, but he won't offer enough in the box score to be worth rostering in most formats. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo held to 21 points vs. Milwaukee
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 4:50 PM
Bam Adebayo struggled with his shot on Thursday but still finished with 21 points (6-of-20 FGs, 9-of-13 FTs), eight rebounds and two assists against the Bucks.
Analysis: Well, it wasn't exactly an encore. Two days after finishing with 83 points, the second-most in a game in NBA history, Adebayo struggled from the floor and finished with a quarter of his total points from the win over the Wizards. Though he was able to get to the free throw line at a decent rate, he wasn't able to replicate his 43 attempts from Tuesday's game. He was still able to extend his streak of 20 point games to eight in a row. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (quad) downgraded to out vs. Milwaukee
Thu, Mar 12, 2026, 12:57 PM
Tim Reynolds
Tyler Herro (quad) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Herro will miss a second straight game with a quad injury, meaning that Kasparas Jaku?ionis will remain in the starting lineup. The rookie has not done enough in prior opportunities to merit streaming in this spot. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (toe) ruled out vs. Milwaukee
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 12:46 PM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (toe) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Wiggins will miss a fourth straight game with a toe injury, likely resulting in another start for Myron Gardner. Gardner is not worth the risk in redraft leagues despite the role change. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (groin) remains out vs. Milwaukee
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 12:41 PM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (groin) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: At the time of his injury in late February, Powell was considered to be week-to-week. Pelle Larsson has moved into the starting lineup, but he has not been productive enough to merit rostering in most fantasy leagues. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio are superior streaming options where available. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? (back) to remain out vs. Milwaukee
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 12:34 PM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Jovi? (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Jovi? has not appeared in a game since February 20, with the Heat labeling his injury as lower back injury management. Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are available to absorb the minutes that would usually go to Jovi?, whose absence does not affect fantasy basketball. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (quad) questionable vs. Milwaukee
Wed, Mar 11, 2026, 12:29 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tyler Herro (quad) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks.

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell records 12 points, five assists
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 4:22 PM
Davion Mitchell produced 12 points (5-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in Tuesday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: The Heat have won six straight games, and Mitchell's improvements as a playmaker is one of the reasons for the team's surgery. During the streak, he has totaled 29 assists and five turnovers. Mitchell may not provide elite scoring, but the improved efficiency and defensive ability have given his fantasy value a welcome boost. The Heat play two more games in Week 20, starting with the Bucks on Thursday. |

Simone Fontecchio Simone Fontecchio chips in with 18 points vs. WAS
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 4:21 PM
Simone Fontecchio accumulated 18 points (6-of-7 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: It's unlikely to become a trivia question in the future, but Fontecchio was Miami's second-leading scorer on a night when Bam Adebayo dropped a franchise-record 83 points. Fontecchio shot 3-of-4 from beyond the arc, and the 18 points were the most in a game for him since hitting that number in a February 3 loss to the Hawks. In fact, Fontecchio's 18 points matched his total from his prior five appearances. |

Bam Adebayo Bam drops 2nd-highest point total in NBA history
Tue, Mar 10, 2026, 4:21 PM
Mike Vorkunov
Bam Adebayo finished Tuesday's win over the Wizards with 83 points (20-of-43 FGs, 36-of-43 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks and seven three-pointers.
Analysis: Adebayo's night was absurd, and it didn't take long to realize that he was capable of doing something special. He scored 31 points in the first quarter and went into the halftime break with 43, with both accomplishments being franchise records. And despite holding a commanding lead throughout, the Heat didn't pull Adebayo until late in the fourth, allowing him to put up the second-highest single-game point total in NBA history. He also set league records for free throws made and attempted, and became the first player to attempt at least 22 three-pointers and 30 free throws in the same game. |
