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. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? (back) probable vs. Charlotte
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 10:28 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Jovi? (back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Jovi? is on track to play on Tuesday, which would be his first game action since February 20. Even with Andrew Wiggins (toe) sidelined, the minutes that Jovi? needs to achieve fantasy relevance are unlikely to be there. Leave him on the waiver wire. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (elbow) probable vs. Charlotte
Mon, Mar 16, 2026, 10:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Pelle Larsson (elbow) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Larsson is dealing with a left elbow contusion, but the probable tag suggests that he will be available for Tuesday's game. With Andrew Wiggins (toe) still out, the second-year wing should remain in the starting lineup. |

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. |

NBA Injury Report
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is available for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Not long after he was added to the injury report due to left hip tightness, Jaquez has been upgraded to available. He'll take on his usual role off the bench, where he has provided enough value to merit rostering in 12-team leagues. |

Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 1:38 PM
Miami Heat
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. |

Sat, Mar 14, 2026, 1:31 PM
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. |

NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (toe) is out for Saturday's game against the Magic.
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. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell, Tyler Herro questionable vs. ORL
Fri, Mar 13, 2026, 11:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (groin) and Tyler Herro (quad) are questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: While Herro has missed Miami's last two games, Powell has been absent for the last seven. For Thursday's win over the Bucks, the Heat called on Kasparas Jaku?ionis and Pelle Larsson to move into the starting lineup, with the former scoring 18 points. If Powell and Herro play, Jaku?ionis and Larsson will come off the bench. |

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. |
