Norman Powell Norman Powell (hand) questionable vs. Washington
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 8:31 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (hand) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Powell, who returned to the Heat lineup on Friday after missing three games for personal reasons, is dealing with a sprained right hand. Miami's already shorthanded on the perimeter, and not having its leading scorer could leave the Heat calling on Myron Gardner to fill the void. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (elbow) doubtful vs. Washington
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 8:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pelle Larsson (elbow) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Larsson suffered a right elbow contusion during Friday's loss to the Celtics and did not play during the second half. With Tyler Herro (ribs) already out, the Heat may be forced to turn to Simone Fontecchio as the spot starter. While he can provide a few three-pointers, fantasy managers will be better served seeking out Jaime Jaquez Jr. before adding Fontecchio. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (hip) probable vs. Washington
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 8:21 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bam Adebayo (hip) is probable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Adebayo is dealing with tightness in his right hip, but the probable tag suggests that he'll be available on Sunday. If not, the Heat would likely turn to Kel'el Ware to fill the void. While he has been inconsistent this season, Ware would be worth slotting into lineups if allowed to start. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo tallies 16 points, seven rebounds
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 4:19 PM
Bam Adebayo amassed 16 points (5-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: After an eight-game stretch in which he averaged 23.4 points per game, Adebayo has cooled off some in Miami's last two games. He's scored 16 points in back-to-back games, shooting 9-of-29 from the field. While he has still been a top-50 player over the past three weeks, the last two games have been a bit of a letdown, given what fantasy managers saw from Bam during that eight-game run. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins scores team-high 26 points
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 4:18 PM
Andrew Wiggins tallied 26 points (10-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), six rebounds, two steals, and five three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Back in the Heat lineup after missing Tuesday's loss to the Hawks, Wiggins' 26 points were the most he's scored in a game since dropping 28 in a December 27 win over the Pacers. He has consistently hit double figures, but fantasy managers who have Wiggins rostered are hoping for more nights like Friday, especially with Tyler Herro (ribs) out. He and the Heat end Week 16 on Sunday against the Wizards in what could be a high-scoring affair. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell records 24 points, four steals
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 4:18 PM
Norman Powell accounted for 24 points (9-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, four steals and three three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: After shooting 5-of-21 from the field in a January 25 win over the Suns, Powell has scored 21 points or more in three consecutive appearances. Friday's game was his first since January 29, as he missed three for personal reasons. With Tyler Herro (ribs) out and lacking a return timeline, more responsibility has fallen on Powell's shoulders. And on most nights, he's been up to the task. |

Pelle Larsson Larsson (elbow) doesn't return after halftime
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 4:17 PM
Anthony Chiang
Pelle Larsson (elbow) finished Friday's loss to the Celtics with five rebounds and three assists.
Analysis: Larsson, who did not attempt a shot during Friday's defeat, played 12 minutes and exited due to a right elbow contusion. Simone Fontecchio (two points, two rebounds, one steal and one block) started the third quarter but offered little offensive value, missing all five of his shots from the field. If Larsson can't play on Sunday against the Wizards, Fontecchio may be the replacement in the lineup. Unfortunately, his showing in Boston wasn't good enough to gain the confidence of fantasy managers who may be seeking a streamer. |

Norman Powell MIA: Bam, Norman, Davion, Pelle, Wiggins to start
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 1:15 PM
Miami Heat
Bam Adebayo, Norman Powell, Davion Mitchell, Pelle Larsson and Andrew Wiggins will start on Friday against the Celtics.
Analysis: Powell and Wiggins are set to return from absences to help provide a boost to Miami's opening unit. The Heat have alternated wins and losses in the past six games, but will have a chance on Friday to get back in the win column against a Celtics team that has won four straight. |
|
Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (ribs) to remain out vs. Boston
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 10:11 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tyler Herro (ribs) is out for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Herro has been out since January 15, which is the last time the Heat faced the Celtics. The guard has not been given a timeline by team doctors, and given the time Herro has already missed, fantasy managers should consider him week-to-week. Pelle Larsson has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he's worth considering as a deep-league streamer. |
|
Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) available vs. Boston
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 10:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Wiggins is good to go after missing Tuesday's loss to the Hawks with left hamstring tightness. He'll occupy his usual place in the Heat starting lineup on Friday, with Simone Fontecchio heading back to the bench. |
|
Norman Powell Norman Powell (personal) absent from injury report
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 10:06 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (personal) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Powell has rejoined the Heat after missing the last three games for personal reasons. With Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) also available, Myron Gardner and Simone Fontecchio will be headed back to the bench. Of the two, Fontecchio's path to maintaining some semblance of fantasy relevance is more straightforward. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. has 21 points, eight rebounds
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 4:42 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 21 points (9-of-17 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in Tuesday's loss to the Hawks.
Analysis: Jaquez Jr. continues to be the one to pick up any slack when the Heat are missing starters. With Tyler Herro (toe), Norman Powell (personal) and Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) all out, the decks were cleared for Jaquez and he had 21 points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes. He's now had at least 19 points in four of his last six games. Jaquez' 42 percent roster percentage in Yahoo! leagues should likely increase given his recent play. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (personal) ruled out vs. Atlanta
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 11:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (personal) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Tuesday's game is the third that Powell has missed for personal reasons. Simone Fontecchio replaced him in the lineup for Sunday's win over the Bulls, logging 18 minutes. However, that game was a blowout, so Fontecchio will likely see his minutes increase. |
|
Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) out Tuesday vs. Hawks
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 11:02 AM
Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Wiggins was a late addition to the injury report with left hamstring tightness. The 30-year-old small forward played through the injury Sunday against the Suns, but will miss Tuesday's tilt with the Hawks. Expect Jaime Jaquez Jr. to see more minutes with Wiggins sidelined. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) questionable Tuesday
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 9:41 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Hawks.
Analysis: Wiggins continues to deal with left hamstring tightness, and he's a late addition to Tuesday's injury report. He played through the injury on Sunday, but if he's forced to sit out against Atlanta, Jaime Jaquez Jr. could enjoy an expanded role. |
|
Norman Powell Norman Powell (personal) downgraded to doubtful
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 8:15 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (personal) has been downgraded to doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Hawks.
Analysis: Powell is expected to miss a third straight game, and Simone Fontecchio could see additional run in his absence. Nikola Jovi? (hip) has been upgraded to available, and Jovi? could take on expanded opportunities with Powell sidelined. |
|
Norman Powell Norman Powell (personal) questionable vs. Atlanta
Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 11:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (personal) is questionable to play against the Hawks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Powell has missed the last two games for Miami, but he could return against Atlanta. Myron Gardner started one game, while Simone Fontecchio filled the void in the last one. Powell will occupy the starting spot if he is available to play for the first time since being named an All-Star for the first time. |
|
Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? (hip) questionable vs. Atlanta
Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 11:29 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Jovi? (hip) is questionable to play against the Hawks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Jovi? missed Sunday's game, which didn't end up having a clear impact on the rotation due to the lopsided score. If he remains out, Simone Fontecchio and Kel'el Ware should take on extra minutes. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) scores 13 in return
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 2:49 PM
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) amassed 13 points (5-of-9 FGs), two rebounds, six assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Mitchell was back in the Heat lineup after a six-game absence, and if there was a minutes restriction, the Heat didn't need to enforce it. With Miami winning by 41 points, and it wasn't that close, Mitchell only played 21 minutes. The Heat have a three-game Week 16 without any back-to-backs; hopefully, that bodes well for Mitchell's availability. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo records 20 points, nine rebounds
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 2:49 PM
Bam Adebayo accounted for 20 points (8-of-11 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: One night removed from losing to the Bulls, Adebayo and the Heat impressively returned the favor. The Heat captain only played 22 minutes in the 132-91 victory, but that was enough time for him to provide fantasy managers with a solid stat line. Adebayo and the Heat play three games in Week 16, starting with the Hawks on Tuesday. The question for Miami is how active they'll be at the trade deadline, especially with Tyler Herro (ribs) still sidelined. |
