Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 1:05 PM
Anthony Chiang
Davion Mitchell, Norman Powell, Pelle Larsson, Andrew Wiggins, and Bam Adebayo will start Wednesday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: The Heat have only made one change to their starting lineup, but it's a big one. Adebayo is back after a six-game absence, and his return pushes Kel'el Ware to the bench. Ware will still play plenty, but he has a slightly lower fantasy ceiling when used in a reserve role. |

Tyler Herro Report: Herro (ankle) targeting November 24 debut
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 1:02 PM
Tim Reynolds
The Associated Press' Tim Reynolds reports that Tyler Herro (ankle) may be targeting November 24 to make his season debut.
Analysis: Herro underwent ankle surgery in mid-September and has not appeared in a game this season. However, that may change soon, as it's reported that Monday's game against the Mavericks could be the target date for Herro to play. His return will impact the entire Heat perimeter rotation. Norman Powell's role may not change much, but Pelle Larsson could head to the bench and Davion Mitchell may not have the ball in his hands as much as a playmaker. |

Analysis: Downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Wednesday afternoon, Jovi? is officially out for the matchup with Golden State. The Heat will have Bam Adebayo (toe) available, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio can also absorb the minutes that would have gone to Jovi?. |

Analysis: After six games on the shelf, Adebayo will play on Wednesday. His return impacts Kel'el Ware the most, as the second-year center will likely return to the bench.

NBA Injury Report
Nikola Jovi? (hip) is now doubtful to play against the Warriors on Wednesday.
Analysis: Jovi? was a late addition to the injury report and was deemed questionable, but he has now been downgraded to doubtful.

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? (hip) questionable vs. Warriors
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 6:44 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Jovi? (hip) is questionable to play against the Warriors on Wednesday.
Analysis: Jovi? dealt with a hip injury earlier this season, and now he is back on the injury report with one as a late addition. If he is unavailable, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio, who have both already been playing large roles, would likely see even more minutes. However, Bam Adebayo (toe) could be back, and his return would alter the rotation more than Jovi?'s absence. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (toe) questionable Wednesday vs. GSW
Tue, Nov 18, 2025, 7:30 AM
Ira Winderman
Heat reporter Ira Winderman reports that Bam Adebayo (toe) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Warriors.
Analysis: Adebayo has missed six straight games, but he has a chance to return for Wednesday's tilt with Golden State. Kel'el Ware has started six straight in Adebayo's place, averaging 12.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 blocked shots in that span. Ware's fantasy value will take a hit when Adebayo returns, though the former is still worth rostering in standard leagues. Ware is averaging just north of 24 minutes per game, and he has standalone value thanks to his scoring, rebounding and defensive contributions. |

Simone Fontecchio Simone Fontecchio knocks down four three-pointers
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:33 PM
Simone Fontecchio produced 14 points (5-of-11 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Monday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Fontecchio has scored at least 13 points in three of his last four games, with Monday's total being the highest in a game for him since October 30. The Heat forward is mainly a points and three-pointers option, and he's been relatively effective in those areas. Fontecchio is averaging 11.5 points and 2.6 three-pointers per game. Jaime Jaquez Jr. (13/1/4 with one three-pointer on Monday) remains the superior option in category leagues, but deep-league managers seeking three-point production may consider Fontecchio. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell tallies 18 points, five assists
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:31 PM
Davion Mitchell recorded 18 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Knicks.
Analysis: Mitchell has reached double figures in five straight games, with Monday's total being a season-high. During this five-game stretch, âOff Nightâ has averaged 13.4 points and 7.2 assists while shooting 53.2 percent from the field and 81.8 percent from the foul line. That production has been good for seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. Mitchell is rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number may increase following recent improvements on the offensive end. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell paces Heat with team-high 19 points
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:30 PM
Norman Powell finished Monday's win over the Knicks with 19 points (9-of-20 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), one rebound, three assists and one steal.
Analysis: One game removed from scoring 38 points in a road loss to the Knicks, Powell's point total was halved on Monday. However, he'll likely value the win more than Friday's gaudy stat line. Powell has been on a roll to start the season, with this being the second game in which he's failed to score at least 20 points. Carrying more of the offensive workload with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo out due to injury, Powell has provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (toe) out Monday vs. Knicks
Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 9:22 AM
Bam Adebayo (toe) is out for Monday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: No surprise here as Adebayo has missed the last five games with a toe injury. The fact that he traveled with the team on a recent road trip and practiced with them on Sunday is encouraging, though it's still unclear when he might be ready to return to the court. Kel'El Ware will continue to start in Adebayo's place. |

Sun, Nov 16, 2025, 7:16 AM
Tim Reynolds
Tyler Herro (ankle) told reporters on Sunday that he could be back in a week or two.
Analysis: Herro, who practiced with the team on Sunday, told reporters he hopes to be back in a week or two. The 25-year-old point guard traveled with the Heat on their most recent road trip. All indications are than Herro is trending in the right direction and barring a setback he should be back on the court sometime next month. |

Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 4:42 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 23 points (9-of-20 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and one three-pointer against the Knicks on Friday.
Analysis: Jaquez played 34 minutes off the bench with Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo out. While the Heat will get its stars back at some point, fantasy managers have to be pleased with Jaquez' production so far. He's providing fifth-round fantasy value and is still available in most leagues. The Heat are off until their rematch with the Knicks on Monday. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell drops 38 points in loss to Knicks
Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 4:38 PM
Norman Powell had 38 points (12-of-22 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, one steal and eight three-pointers against the Knicks on Friday.
Analysis: Powell only has two games with at least 30 points this season, but both have come in his last three games. The 32-year-old shooting guard was basically unstoppable, scoring 38 points on 22 shots and going 8-of-15 from behind the three-point line. Powell has proven in recent years that he's one of the best scorers in the league and will continue to be one of the Heat's top players. |

Tyler Herro Herro, Adebayo traveling with Heat to New York
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 11:06 AM
Ira Winderman
Tyler Herro (ankle) and Bam Adebayo (toe) travelled with the Heat to New York ahead of their matchup with the Knicks on Friday.
Analysis: Both players have been ruled out for the game, and the Heat hasn't provided an official update yet. However, this is a positive sign. It's just a one-game trip for Miami before they head home for two games. They'll play the Knicks on Monday and the Warriors on Wednesday, which could be a chance for them to get their stars. |

Bam Adebayo Adebayo will not play against Knicks on Friday
Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 9:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bam Adebayo (toe) is out for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: This will be the fifth missed game in a row for Adebayo, who is dealing with a sprained toe. He was seen without a boot earlier in the week, so it seems like his return is close, but it won't be in New York on Friday. Kel'el Ware will get another start in his place, but he could have a tough night if Mitchell Robinson suits up for New York. If Robinson is out with his own injury management, then Ware should have a strong showing against Karl Anthony Towns in the paint. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins posts 17/9/6 line vs. Cavaliers
Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 5:33 PM
Andrew Wiggins amassed 17 points (7-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two three-pointers in the loss to the Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Analysis: One game after securing a game-winning dunk, Wiggins logged another efficient scoring performance in the rematch against the Cavaliers. He had similar shooting efficiency and production from the three-point line in both games, but lacked the free-throw volume this time around. The veteran wing had one of his better rebounding performances of the season on Wednesday while also notching a season-high in assists along the way. Overall, he finished with solid numbers from a fantasy basketball standpoint. |

Analysis: On the heels of a 33-point performance in the overtime win over the Cavaliers on Monday, Powell logged another strong scoring performance in Wednesday's rematch. Three-point shooting was one of his main strengths, but he also finished with at least five assists for the first time this season.

He continues to be one of Miami's most productive players. |
