Norman Powell Norman Powell has 22 points in win over Kings
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 6:38 PM
Norman Powell had 22 points (8-of-16 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Powell's ceiling is slightly raised with Tyler Herro (ribs) out of the lineup. The 32-year-old shooting guard continues to be the clear focal point of the offense with Herro sidelined. Powell had 22 points and four three-pointers against the Kings, though he didn't provide much in the other categories. He's provided 14th-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Heat will be back on the floor Thursday to take on the Trail Blazers. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo has 25/7/5 line in win over Kings
Tue, Jan 20, 2026, 6:34 PM
Bam Adebayo had 25 points (8-of-15 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in the Heat's 130-117 victory over the Kings on Tuesday.
Analysis: Adebayo stepped up for the Heat Tuesday in a game where the team was without Tyler Herro (ribs) and Kel'el Ware (hamstring). The 28-year-old center led the team with 25 points against the Kings. Adebayo has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Heat have two more games this week, including road matchups with the Trail Blazers and the Jazz. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins scores 18 first-half points vs. GSW
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 6:30 PM
Andrew Wiggins accounted for 18 points (6-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Warriors.
Analysis: After scoring 18 points in the first half of Monday's game, Wiggins appeared to be on course for a big night. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Wiggins missed all five of his shot attempts and failed to score after halftime. While Wiggins' season-long fantasy value has exceeded his Yahoo! ADP (110) by a comfortable margin, consistency can still be an issue on occasion. He'll look to put together four productive quarters on Tuesday against the Kings. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell leads Heat with 21 points vs. GSW
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 6:29 PM
Norman Powell finished Monday's loss to the Warriors with 21 points (7-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers.
Analysis: With Tyler Herro (rib) unavailable and possibly missing the Heat's entire five-game road trip, Powell has even more room to operate offensively. He's scored at least 19 points in four straight games, surpassing 20 in three of them. Given how productive Powell was to begin the season when Herro was recovering from toe surgery, it would be unsurprising if he got back to that level during the Heat's road trip. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. (knee) available vs. Golden State
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 2:11 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (knee) is available to play against the Warriors on Monday.
Analysis: Jaquez will be back after missing Miami's last two games. He'll take on a larger role with Tyler Herro (rib) sidelined, which should help his production for fantasy managers. His return should take away some minutes from Simone Fontecchio. |
|
Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) available vs. GSW
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 2:07 PM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is available to play against the Warriors on Monday.
Analysis: Mitchell will be back after missing Miami's last two games. His return means Kasparas Jaku?ionis will return to playing a role off the bench after getting the second start of his career on Saturday. That will eliminate Jaku?ionis' streaming upside, so he can be returned to the waiver wire. |

Tyler Herro Herro (rib) unlikely to join team on road trip
Mon, Jan 19, 2026, 9:09 AM
Anthony Chiang
Tyler Herro (rib) is unlikely to join the Heat during the team's five-game road trip.
Analysis: Herro did not travel west with the team ahead of Monday's game against the Warriors, instead staying in Miami to undergo an MRI on his ribs. The scans have uncovered a costochondral issue, which is inflammation or separation that can take weeks or even months to recover from. The Heat did not provide a timeline for Herro's return, but he should be considered out indefinitely until that changes. Pelle Larsson has been the replacement in the starting lineup. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) probable Monday vs. GSW
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 1:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is probable for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Mitchell has missed Miami's last two games with a shoulder injury, but he's on track to return Monday night. If he can play, Kasparas Jaku?ionis will be headed to the bench to take on a lesser role. While the rookie should be rostered in dynasty leagues, there's no need to hold onto him in most redraft formats. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. (knee) probable Monday vs. GSW
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 12:57 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (knee) is probable for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Jaquez has missed Miami's last two games, but the probable tag suggests that he's on track to return Monday night. With Tyler Herro (rib) out, Jaquez will have a higher fantasy ceiling despite coming off the bench. His return will likely mean fewer minutes for Simone Fontecchio. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (rib) out Monday vs. Golden State
Sun, Jan 18, 2026, 12:36 PM
Anthony Chiang
Tyler Herro (rib) is out for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Monday's game will be the second that Herro misses due to a rib contusion. And he could be out for longer than that, as he did not travel with the team out west. Herro will undergo an MRI, and the Heat have another game in Sacramento on Tuesday. Pelle Larsson should remain in the starting lineup as long as Herro is unavailable. |

Bam Adebayo Adebayo posts 30/12/4/1 line in win over Thunder
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 4:59 PM
Bam Adebayo accumulated 30 points (9-of-22 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes on Saturday, powering the Heat to a 122-120 win over the Thunder.
Analysis: Adebayo was a difference-maker in a back-and-forth tilt that came down to the wire, knocking down a couple clutch shots in the closing moments of the fourth quarter. He also drained a pair of free throws inside the final minute to slash Miami's deficit to a single point before teammate Andrew Wiggins nailed the go-ahead jumper. The 28-year-old big man has been on a roll of late, topping 20 points in three straight games after failing to accomplish the feat in his previous 11 contests. The Heat are on the road for a jam-packed five-game week that features showdowns against the Warriors, Kings, Trail Blazers, Jazz and Suns. |

Norman Powell Powell notches 19/4/4/2/1 line in win over Thunder
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 4:55 PM
Norman Powell finished with 19 points (5-of-15 FGs, 4-of-7 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block over 35 minutes in Saturday's win over the Thunder.
Analysis: Powell's outstanding Miami debut continues as he's averaging 23.8 points through 36 games. The 32-year-old scoring machine came out of the gate hot, scoring 12 of his 19 points in the opening quarter, finishing 4-of-7 from beyond the arc on the night. He's scored at least 19 points in three straight games after missing time last weekend with a back issue. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? (illness) upgraded to available
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 12:26 PM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Jovi? (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Added to the Heat injury report on Saturday afternoon, Jovi? is good to go. He'll offer additional depth off the bench, which is needed since the Heat won't have Tyler Herro or Davion Mitchell. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (rib, toe) downgraded to out Saturday
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 12:23 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tyler Herro (rib, toe) is out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Herro joins Davion Mitchell (shoulder) on the sidelines for Thursday's game. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra said during his pregame availability that Herro's rib contusion is not believed to be a longer-term injury. Dru Smith and Kasparas Jaku?ionis should see their playing time increase, while Kel'el Ware could return to the starting lineup. The second-year center has struggled recently, and a return to the starting five could give him a needed boost. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? (illness) questionable vs. OKC
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 6:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Jovi? (illness) is questionable to play against the Thunder on Saturday.
Analysis: Jovi? is a late addition to the injury report, but his role has been minimal lately, even with Jaime Jaquez Jr. out for Miami's last game. Jovi?'s absence could open up a few extra minutes for Simone Fontecchio, though he isn't worth streaming unless you are desperate for triples. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) remains out vs. Thunder
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 10:26 AM
Anthony Chiang
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) has been ruled out against the Thunder on Saturday.
Analysis: Mitchell will remain out for a second straight game, which leaves the starting point guard spot open. Pelle Larsson filled it on Thursday, though he was unproductive in his 31 minutes. Kasparas Jakucionis did more with his 27 minutes, though a matchup with this Thunder defense isn't ideal for a rookie point guard. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. (knee) remains out vs. OKC
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 10:23 AM
Anthony Chiang
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (knee) has been ruled out against the Thunder on Saturday.
Analysis: Jaquez will remain out for a second straight game, which will leave open minutes off the bench. Kasparas Jakucionis played 27 minutes on Thursday, leading all Heat reserves. Nikola Jovic and Simone Fontecchio also should take on extra minutes with Jaquez still out. |
|
Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (rib, toe) questionable vs. OKC
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 10:20 AM
Anthony Chiang
Tyler Herro (rib, toe) is questionable to play against the Thunder on Saturday.
Analysis: If Herro is sidelined, there will be a second spot open in the starting lineup, with Davion Mitchell (shoulder) already out. Kel'el Ware started during Herro's most recent absence, though Dru Smith and Kasparas Jakucionis should also see a bump in minutes of Herro is unavailable. |

Norman Powell Powell finishes with team-high 26 in loss to C's
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 4:20 PM
Norman Powell finished with a team-high 26 points (10-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Powell did his best to stave off Boston's late rally with a couple clutch buckets, but the damage was already done as Miami wound up squandering a nearly 20-point lead. The 32-year-old scorer did most of his damage in the midrange, going just 1-of-3 from beyond the arc, while getting to the line a team-high five times. He's been a reliable scoring threat this season for fantasy managers, averaging 23.9 points through 35 games. |

Tyler Herro Herro drops 22 points in loss to Celtics
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 4:19 PM
Tyler Herro amassed 22 points (9-of-15 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block over 30 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Herro has had a ton of success, historically speaking, against the Celtics and that trend continued in the first half as he helped Miami race out to an early double-digit lead, supplying 15 first-half points on 6-of-9 from the floor, including 3-of-4 from beyond the arc. He cooled off in the second half as the Heat were unable to hold off Boston's late rally, which was fueled by a red-hot Anfernee Simons. The 26-year-old sharpshooter, who came into this one battling rib and toe issues, has scored at least 17 points in five straight games since making his season debut back on January 6. |
