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. Through the first few months of the season, Powell has picked up where he left things in Los Angeles last year during his career-best season. He continues to be one of Miami's most productive players. |

Dru Smith Dru Smith (knee) probable vs. Cleveland

Dru Smith (knee) is probable to play against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Smith should be available to occupy his typical role off the bench. He has been a solid source of steals this year, but he's only played 17.1 minutes per game. Unless there are multiple backcourt injuries in front of him, he isn't worth rostering. |

Bam Adebayo (toe) was seen after practice on Tuesday without a boot on.
Analysis: Adebayo has been ruled out against the Cavaliers on Wednesday, but this is a positive development for him. That will be a fourth straight absence for him, and his next chance to play will be on Friday against the Knicks. Kel'el Ware will continue to start at center until Adebayo is healthy. Bam was seen getting in some work after practice, with the posted video showing him doing defensive slides. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. posts 22/13/7/1/2 line vs. Cavs
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 5:23 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. tallied 22 points (7-of-12 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), 13 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two blocks in Monday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Jaquez was one of two Heat players to establish a new career-high in rebounds, with Kel'el Ware being the other. Challenging to assess during draft season, Jaquez has provided excellent fantasy value despite coming off the bench. Rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he's providing fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. It's fair to question what Jaquez can do once the Heat get Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo back, but that shouldn't be a concern at this moment. The only negative is that Miami plays only twice more in Week 4 and will be finished with their week on Friday. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins caps night with game-winning dunk
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 5:22 PM
NBA
Andrew Wiggins amassed 23 points (8-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Based on his Yahoo! ADP of 11o, Wiggins was expected to provide late-round value in 12-team leagues this season. He's been better than that so far, sitting within the top-75 in nine-cat formats. He made the game's biggest play in Monday's overtime thriller, slamming home an alley-oop pass from Nikola Jovi? as time expired to give Miami the win. The Heat not having Tyler Herro or Bam Adebayo gives Wiggins more room to work out of necessity, and he's answered the call more often than not so far. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell drops game-high 33 points vs. CLE
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 5:20 PM
Norman Powell finished Monday's win over the Cavaliers with 33 points (8-of-19 FGs, 13-of-14 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Having recorded six games of 20 points or more in his first seven appearances for the Heat, Powell dropped his first 30-point game on Monday. He was in âattack modeâ throughout, resulting in the veteran guard attempting 14 free throws. With Bam Adebayo joining Tyler Herro on the sideline, even more of the offense runs through Powell, and he's been up to the task. With unrestricted free agency on the horizon, Powell is providing top-25 value in nine-cat formats. |

Ira Winderman
Bam Adebayo (toe) will remain out for Monday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Adebayo will miss a third straight game, which should mean another start for Kel'el Ware. Over his last two games sans Bam, Ware has recorded 18 rebounds, two steals and six blocks. |

Nikola Jovic Jovi? drops career-high 29 in win over Blazers
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 2:00 AM
Nikola Jovi? amassed a career-high 29 points (10-of-16 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block over 31 minutes, powering the Heat to a 136-131 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Jovi? nearly recorded a triple-double off the bench against a Portland team that entered the night ranked ninth in defensive rating. He connected on three of seven attempts from beyond the arc and shot 63 percent from the field overall. The 22-year-old hasn't exactly been a consistent fantasy contributor this season, but performances like this offer glimpses of his all-around upside as he continues to develop. An increase in three-point volume would go a long way toward unlocking his long-term scoring ceiling. |

Ira Winderman
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) is available to play against the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
Analysis: Jaquez exited early on Friday with an ankle injury and popped up on the injury report as questionable as a result. However, Jaquez will be available and should play a significant role off the bench after logging 33 minutes in a blowout win against Charlotte. |

Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 12:32 PM
Ira Winderman
Norman Powell (ankle) and Pelle Larsson (illness) are available against the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
Analysis: Both wings were initially listed as probable, so their availability isn't surprising. They'll both occupy their typical spots in the starting lineup, barring a change from Heat coach Erik Spoelstra. |
|
Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (illness) probable Saturday vs. POR
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 8:20 AM
Pelle Larsson (illness) is probable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Larsson is still likely to play given his probable designation. He would even have some fantasy value in deeper formats if Norman Powell or Jaime Jaquez Jr. are unable to suit up after suffering injuries on Friday night. Larsson is coming off a 20-point game on Friday night as well. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez (ankle) questionable Saturday vs. POR
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 8:11 AM
Jaime Jaquez (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Jaquez left Friday's game against the Hornets with an ankle injury. The 24-year-old shooting guard sprained his ankle with just minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. His status is up in the air given his questionable designation. If Jaquez is ruled out, Nikola Jovic figures to see additional minutes. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (ankle) probable Saturday vs. POR
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 8:07 AM

Analysis: Powell briefly left Friday's game against the Hornets with a sprained ankle. The 32-year-old point guard finished the game with a team-high 25 points in 27 minutes. Powell is on the injury report for Saturday, but he's likely to suit up given his probable designation. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo (toe) out Saturday vs. Trail Blazers
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 7:57 AM
Bam Adebayo (toe) is out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Adebayo was diagnosed with a big toe sprain earlier this week. While the 28-year-old center is set to miss his second consecutive game, it's a relief for fantasy managers that he avoided a major injury. Kel'el Ware should continue to start in place of Adebayo until he returns. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. exits win with sprained ankle
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 5:53 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (ankle) finished Friday's win over the Hornets with 18 points (8-of-15 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Jaquez has gotten off to an excellent start this season, providing seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. Unfortunately, fantasy managers will have to account for the possibility that he doesn't play in Saturday's game against Portland after spraining his left ankle with just over a minute remaining in Friday's victory. If Jaquez sits, that would free up additional minutes for fellow reserve Nikola Jovi?, who finished with 10 points, four rebounds, three assists, three steals and one blocked shot in 19 minutes. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson scores career-high 20 points
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 5:44 PM
Pelle Larsson tallied 20 points (8-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Larsson has started Miami's last six games, providing inconsistent value on the offensive end of the floor. He's reached double figures three times, with Friday's point total being a career-high for the second-year wing. Rostered in one percent of Yahoo! leagues, Larsson has been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats since moving into the starting five. If Norman Powell or Jaime Jaquez Jr. cannot play in Saturday's game against Portland after suffering sprained ankles during Friday's victory, Larsson will be worth the risk in deeper leagues. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins scores 20 points vs. Charlotte
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 5:42 PM
Andrew Wiggins accounted for 20 points (9-of-16 FGs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Friday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: For the first time this season, Wiggins has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games. A top-50 player over the last week, the Heat forward has been a seventh-round player in nine-cat formats this season. His short-term value will be impacted by the availability of Norman Powell and Jaime Jaquez Jr., who both suffered sprained ankles during Friday's victory. Add Bam Adebayo's foot injury, and this is a good time to have Wiggins on your fantasy roster. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (ankle) finishes with team-high 25
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 5:38 PM
Norman Powell (ankle) amassed 25 points (10-of-20 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Friday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Powell, who missed three games last week with a groin injury, exited Friday's game during the second quarter after spraining his right ankle. The good news is that he was back on the court to begin the third quarter and ultimately logged 27 minutes. However, with the Heat hosting the Trail Blazers, there may be some concern surrounding Powell's availability. Consider him questionable for Miami's final game of Week 3. |
