NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is available to play against the Nets on Tuesday.
Analysis: Mitchell dealt with a shoulder injury earlier this season, which forced him to miss time in late January. However, he'll play through a contusion in this game, meaning he'll occupy his typical spot in the starting unit. |

NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Mitchell missed six games in late January with a sprained left shoulder and is now dealing with a contusion to the same shoulder. If he's unable to play on Tuesday, the Heat will likely turn to Kasparas Jaku?ionis to fill the void. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (mouth) records three blocks
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 12:23 PM
Andrew Wiggins (mouth) amassed 12 points (4-of-10 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Rockets.
Analysis: Wiggins was injured during Saturday's game when an Alperen ?engün elbow to the mouth opened a cut that required a few stitches to close. The good news for Miami was that the forward returned to the lineup during the fourth quarter to help close out the victory. Over the past two weeks, Wiggins has been a third-round player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster, and he has been a solid category league option throughout the season. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson drops 20 points, four assists
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 12:23 PM
Pelle Larsson accounted for 20 points (6-of-12 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Heat.
Analysis: With Norman Powell (groin) sidelined, Larsson remained in the Heat starting lineup on Saturday. And the second-year wing had a good afternoon, putting up 20 points on solid percentages. Larsson is worth picking up ahead of Miami's four-game Week 19, as Powell will be sidelined for at least three more games. That will preserve Larsson's spot in the starting lineup despite Tyler Herro's return to the first five on Saturday. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo score team-high 24 points vs. Houston
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 12:22 PM
Bam Adebayo tallied 24 points (9-of-17 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Rockets.
Analysis: Adebayo led seven Heat players in double figures with 24 points while recording his second double-double in as many games. Over the past two weeks, the Heat center has been close to a top-50 player in nine-cat formats. With Miami beginning its four-game Week 19 schedule on Tuesday against the Nets, Adebayo could get off to an excellent start. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro starts, scores 18 points vs. Houston
Sat, Feb 28, 2026, 12:21 PM
Tyler Herro finished Saturday's win over the Rockets with 18 points (8-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
Analysis: After coming off the bench for each of his first four games back from the rib injury that kept him out for a month, Herro was inserted back into the Heat starting lineup on Saturday. Norman Powell (groin) was out, opening the door for Herro to take on a more familiar role. He was efficient against the Rockets, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete line. The Heat play four games in Week 19, starting with the Nets on Tuesday. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (groin) considered week-to-week
Fri, Feb 27, 2026, 10:59 AM
Ira Winderman
Norman Powell (groin) has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain and is considered week-to-week.
Analysis: Powell had to leave Thursday's game against the 76ers during the first half, as his attempt to play through his groin issue backfired after ten minutes of action. The good news is that Powell has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain, which is the lowest severity. Powell will miss at least four games, and his absence may open the door for Tyler Herro to return to the starting lineup. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro posts 25 points, seven assists
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 3:34 PM
Tyler Herro amassed 25 points (9-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Thursday's performance was Herro's best since returning from a rib injury that sidelined him for just over a month. After recording six assists in each of his prior two games, the Heat guard recorded seven against the 76ers. Add in the 25 points on 50 percent shooting and increase in playing time, with Herro logging 32 minutes, and this was an encouraging effort. Norman Powell (groin) exited during the first half, with Herro moving into the lineup to begin the third quarter. Regardless of what Powell's availability is for Saturday's game against the Rockets, Herro could be ready to move back into the starting five. And if Powell is available, that may mean that Pelle Larsson (9/4/6/2/1 with two three-pointers) will be the odd man out. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. tallies 19 points, five boards
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 3:34 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. accounted for 19 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Thursday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Jaquez's fantasy value has taken a hit recently, with Tyler Herro's return from a rib injury factoring into the Heat wing's decreased usage. However, he was productive against the 76ers, with the final stat line only lacking a blocked shot. Norman Powell (groin) exited Thursday's game during the first half, and Jaquez is one of the players who could see his opportunities if Powell misses time. And he won't need to move into the starting lineup for that to happen. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo records 29/14/3/1 line vs. PHI
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 3:33 PM
Bam Adebayo finished Thursday's loss to the 76ers with 29 points (10-of-20 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), 14 rebounds, three assists, one steal and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Having totaled 15 rebounds in his prior two games, Adebayo fell one shy of that tally in Thursday's defeat. And the 29 points were the most he's scored in a game since January 22, when the Heat center dropped 32 in a loss to the Trail Blazers. Over the past month, Bam has provided sixth-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. That doesn't align with his ADP (32), but it does align with Adebayo's production throughout the season. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (groin) will not return vs. 76ers
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 2:14 PM
Ira Winderman
Norman Powell (groin) will not return to Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Powell came into this game as questionable, but he attempted to play through the groin injury that popped up on the injury report Thursday afternoon. However, his night will end after just 10 minutes in the first half. Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr. will see a bump in minutes in the second half. |

Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 12:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (groin) is available to play against the 76ers on Thursday.
Analysis: Powell was added to the injury report late, but that won't keep him from suiting up against Philly. He led the team with 26 points on Tuesday and will look to stay hot in this one. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (illness) upgraded to available
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 12:03 PM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Mitchell is available after being listed as questionable on Miami's initial injury report. Since he can play, Kasparas Jaku?ionis will come off the bench, which eliminates most of the rookie's fantasy value. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (groin) questionable for Thursday
Thu, Feb 26, 2026, 7:04 AM
Norman Powell (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Powell was a late addition to the injury report after playing 30 minutes in Tuesday's game against the Bucks. With Davion Mitchell also questionable with an illness, that could mean Tyler Herro moves into the starting lineup, and Pelle Larsson and Kasparas Jakucionis see more minutes if Powell winds up missing this game. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? (back) to remain out vs. Philadelphia
Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 10:12 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Jovi? (back) is out for Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Thursday's game will be the third that Jovi? will miss due to lower back injury management. There are more minutes available to Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio, but both were already ahead of Jovi? in the pecking order. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (illness) questionable vs. PHI
Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 10:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Mitchell returned to the lineup on Tuesday after sitting out Saturday's win over the Grizzlies, which pushed Kasparas Jaku?ionis to the bench. If âOff Nightâ can't play against the 76ers, the rookie out of Illinois will return to the starting lineup. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro struggles with shot, scores 14 points
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:55 PM
Tyler Herro recorded 14 points (5-of-17 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, one block and three three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Bucks.
Analysis: After shooting 9-of-14 from the field in his first game back from a rib injury that sidelined him for over a month, Herro has cooled off. Over the last two games, the Heat guard is 10-of-32 from the field. Fantasy managers will be pleased with the six assists he dished out in Milwaukee, but this is not going to be a quick process for Herro, given the injury that he's returning from. The Heat play two more games in Week 18, starting with the 76ers on Thursday. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins tallies 16 points, three blocks
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:55 PM
Andrew Wiggins accounted for 16 points (5-of-12 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal, three blocks and four three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Bucks.
Analysis: Wiggins wasn't as lethal offensively as he was in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies, but he still recorded a line that many category league managers will be pleased with. Over the past month, the Heat forward has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. Wiggins is rostered in 56 percent of Yahoo! leagues. While he's unlikely to be a league-winner, some managers in 10-team leagues will want to consider adding him, especially if lines like the one he recorded on Tuesday can become the norm. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo records 18/9/2/1/1 line vs. Bucks
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:54 PM
Bam Adebayo finished Tuesday's loss to the Bucks with 18 points (8-of-19 FGs), nine rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Bam didn't have a great night shooting the basketball, but fantasy managers should be encouraged by him getting up 19 shots. Tyler Herro's return to the rotation has not negatively affected Adebayo's opportunities, as he has remained aggressive on the offensive end. The seven shot attempts in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies were the fewest in a game for Bam since early November. As long as he remains assertive on offense, Adebayo managers should not have too much to worry about. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell drops team-high 26 points vs. MIL
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 4:54 PM
Norman Powell tallied 26 points (6-of-14 FGs, 11-of-14 FTs), six rebounds, one steal and three three-pointers in Tuesday's loss to the Bucks.
Analysis: While Powell had a solid night scoring-wise and on the glass, there were some issues with the final stat line. Outside of points, rebounds and three-pointers, he did not provide much value to category league managers, and the Heat guard was also responsible for a game-high six turnovers. Turnovers and limited production outside of points and three-pointers have negatively affected Powell's fantasy value since the All-Star break, with him being ranked outside the top-100 in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. |
