Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (foot) available Saturday
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 6:27 AM
Pelle Larsson (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Larsson started and had 11 points in 33 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Lakers. With Andrew Wiggins (toe) still out, Larsson should start again. The 25-year-old guard is a streaming option, but still not a must-roster player in standard leagues. |

Simone Fontecchio Simone Fontecchio (back) available Saturday
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 6:24 AM
Simone Fontecchio (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Fontecchio started and had seven points in 19 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Lakers. The 30-year-old small forward could start again Saturday and see more minutes with Norman Powell (calf) questionable. Fontecchio would be a decent streaming option if Powell is ultimately ruled out. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (calf) questionable Saturday
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 6:19 AM
Norman Powell (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Powell wasn't on the initial injury report, but has since been downgraded to questionable with a calf injury. The 32-year-old shooting guard's status is up in the air for Saturday's game against the Rockets. Simone Fontecchio and Jaime Jaquez Jr. would stand to see additional usage if Powell is ruled out. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro records 21/8/5 line vs. Lakers
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 5:29 PM
Tyler Herro posted a strong line on Thursday with 21 points (8-of-19 FGs), eight rebounds, five assists and four three-pointers against the Lakers.
Analysis: Herro shrugged off a slow start to this game and ended up finishing with a second straight 20-point game. However, since returning from a two-game absence with a quad injury, Herro hasn't been as effective on offense. He has shot below 50 percent from the floor in three straight games after shooting at least 50 percent from the floor in the six games prior to his short absence. He'll need to get back on track in Houston on Saturday to help end this losing streak. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell chips in 20 points off bench
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 5:25 PM
Norman Powell provided a boost off the bench with 20 points (7-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer against the Lakers.
Analysis: Simone Fontecchio replaced Powell in the starting lineup for this game, but Powell still played more minutes and was far more productive. Since returning from a seven-game absence with a toe injury, Powell has averaged 19.0 points, but he hasn't contributed much value in other categories. He'll continue to be an important part of the rotation, and whether he starts or comes off the bench, he should continue to play at least 30 minutes. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo records 28/10 double-double vs. Lakers
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 5:21 PM
Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 28 points (9-of-19 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in a 134-126 loss to the Lakers on Thursday.
Analysis: Following a one-game absence with a calf injury, Adebayo was back in the lineup for this game. He was able to extend his streak of 20-point games to 10, with the historic 83-point outing in the middle of the streak. Though the Heat have lost three straight, Adebayo has been productive lately, and he has contributed more steals and blocks than he typically does, which has inflated his category league impact. He'll look to stay hot in Houston on Saturday to wrap up the week. |

Simone Fontecchio MIA starts Mitchell, Herro, Larsson, Simone, Bam
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 1:39 PM
Miami Heat
Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Pelle Larsson, Simone Fontecchio and Bam Adebayo will start Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Despite Norman Powell being available for Thursday's game, he will come off the bench. Instead, Fontecchio moves into the starting lineup, with Miami still without Andrew Wiggins (toe). Fontecchio can provide some points and three-pointers in that role, but there should be better streaming options on most waiver wires. |
|
Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) downgraded to out vs. LAL
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 10:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Jaquez will sit out Thursday's game due to tightness in his left hip. Simone Fontecchio and Keshad Johnson are two players whose opportunities may increase due to Jaquez's absence, with the former being the safer streaming option. |
|
Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (calf) available vs. Los Angeles
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 10:28 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bam Adebayo (calf) is available to play against the Lakers on Thursday.
Analysis: Adebayo missed Tuesday's game but was initially listed as probable for this one. Now, he'll officially be available. Kel'el Ware will likely head to the bench with Norman Powell and Tyler Herro both healthy as well. |
|
Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) questionable vs. Lakers
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 11:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Jaquez, who was not on the injury report for Tuesday's loss to the Hornets, is back on the list due to tightness in his left hip. He was also questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Magic, a game that he would log 30 minutes in. Jaquez was limited to 20 minutes on Tuesday. |
|
Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (toe) remains out vs. Lakers
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 11:15 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (toe) is out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Wiggins' continued absence should keep Pelle Larsson in the starting lineup for another game, increasing his short-term fantasy value. However, Larsson is not a must-stream player in 12-team leagues. |
|
Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (calf) probable vs. Lakers
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 11:12 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bam Adebayo (calf) is probable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Adebayo is on track to return to action Thursday night after sitting out Tuesday's loss to the Hornets. With Tyler Herro and Norman Powell available, Kel'el Ware will likely be headed to the bench. Ware should still be rostered in 12-team leagues, but he isn't as valuable in shallow formats when Miami's three stars are available. |

Keshad Johnson Keshad Johnson tallies 15/5/1/3/1 line off bench
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 3:52 PM
Keshad Johnson provided a boost off the bench with 15 points (6-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, three steals, one block and three three-pointers against the Hornets on Tuesday.
Analysis: Johnson took on extra minutes off the bench with Bam Adebayo (calf) sidelined. He filled out the backup center minutes behind Kel'el Ware in what ended up being a small reserve lineup for Miami. Clearly, it wasn't an effective strategy. Still, Johnson was able to have a productive night in 20 minutes off the bench, though even if Bam misses another game, Johnson shouldn't be seen as a safe streaming option. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell starts, scores 17 points vs. Hornets
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 3:48 PM
Norman Powell started on Tuesday and contributed 17 points (7-of-17 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one three-pointer in a 136-106 loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: Powell returned from a seven-game absence with a groin injury on Saturday and scored 20 points off the bench. He fell short of that mark in this game, but he was still productive, and he moved into the starting unit with Bam Adebayo (calf) sidelined. If Adebayo is back to take on the Lakers on Thursday, either Powell or Pelle Larsson will be pushed to the bench, though Powell should see plenty of shots regardless. |

Norman Powell MIA starting Davion, Herro, Powell, Larsson, Ware
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 12:44 PM
Ira Winderman
Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Norman Powell, Pelle Larsson and Kel'el Ware will start against the Hornets on Tuesday.
Analysis: With Bam Adebayo (calf) sidelined for this game, Powell will return to the starting unit. Powell scored 20 points in 31 minutes off the bench on Saturday and should play a similar role in this game. Ware will shift over to be the primary center. |
|
Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (calf) out Tuesday vs. Hornets
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 11:31 AM
Bam Adebayo (calf) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Adebayo avoided the Heat's original injury report, but was added Monday night as questionable with right calf tightness and downgraded to doubtful Tuesday afternoon. The 28-year-old's absence isn't a surprise at this point. Kel'el Ware should move into the starting lineup and stands to benefit from the most additional usage with Adebayo sidelined. |
|
Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (calf) doubtful Tuesday vs. Hornets
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 9:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bam Adebayo (calf) is doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Hornets.
Analysis: Adebayo is unlikely to play against Charlotte, which means Kel'el Ware should replace him in the starting lineup. Ware should see a major boost in playing time and usage with Bam sidelined. |
|
Pelle Larsson Pelle Larson, Nikola Jovi? available Tuesday
Tue, Mar 17, 2026, 8:46 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pelle Larsson (elbow) and Nikola Jovi? (back) are available for Tuesday's matchup with the Hornets.
Analysis: As expected, both players will take the court, and both should be in line for their usual workloads. Larsson should stick with the first unit while Andrew Wiggins (toe) is sidelined. |
|
Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (calf) questionable vs. Charlotte
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 12:20 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bam Adebayo (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Absent from the Heat's initial injury report, Adebayo has been added due to right calf tightness. If he's unable to play, Simone Fontecchio could move into the starting lineup, with Kel'el Ware serving as the lone big. |
|
Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (toe) to remain sidelined vs. CHA
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 10:31 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (toe) is out for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Wiggins will miss a sixth consecutive game, with Kel'el Ware having started the last two. Starting alongside Bam Adebayo raises the second-year center's ceiling, and he's already rostered in most 12-team leagues. Managers in 10-team leagues should consider adding Ware if he's on the waiver wire. |
