Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? (ankle) exits during fourth quarter
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 11:38 AM
Nikola Jovi? (ankle) exited Saturday's win over the Wizards with 36.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.
Analysis: Jovi? was injured when his left leg got caught underneath his body after being fouled by Washington's Jamir Watkins on an attempt to convert an alley-oop. While he was able to walk back to the locker room on his own, Jovi? did so slowly. He finished with five points (2-of-6 FGs), two assists and one three-pointer. Saturday's game was the first for Jovi? since March 21, with injuries knocking down the pecking order within the Heat rotation. |

Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 11:35 AM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. tallied 32 points (12-of-18 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: Jaquez had an excellent Saturday afternoon, as his 32 points were a season-high. And he was highly efficient, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and committing just two turnovers. Add in the assists, and Jaquez enjoyed one of his best all-around performances of the season. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo posts nine boards, seven assists
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 11:34 AM
Bam Adebayo recorded 14 points (3-of-6 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Wizards.
Analysis: One would not blame the Wizards if they wondered where this version of Adebayo was when he torched them for 83 points on March 10. He attempted just six shots, as the Heat combined to finish one point shy of the franchise record for points in a game (153). The good news for fantasy managers was that Bam provided good value in rebounds and assists, even though his double-double streak ended at five games. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins scores 21 points vs. Washington
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 11:33 AM
Andrew Wiggins finished Saturday's win over the Wizards with 21 points (7-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Unlike the last time Miami hosted the Wizards, no single player was responsible for most of the offensive damage. Wiggins was one of seven double-digit scorers, with three putting up at least 21 points. The veteran wing, who shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, recorded a complete stat line in 26 minutes of play. Not a bad finish to the week for Wiggins, whose Heat don't play again until Tuesday. |

Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 10:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tyler Herro (foot) is probable for Saturday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis: Herro is dealing with a sore right foot, but the probable tag suggests that he will be available on Saturday. If he can't play, Kasparas Jaku?ionis and Kel'el Ware are potential replacements in the starting lineup. Ware offers a higher streaming ceiling when allowed to start. |

Barry Jackson
The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reports that Norman Powell (illness) is out for Saturday's matchup with the Wizards.
Analysis: Powell will sit out a fourth straight game while dealing with an upper respiratory illness, and his next chance to take the court will come on Tuesday. With the fantasy playoffs wrapping up for many managers on Sunday, Powell can be dropped. Pelle Larsson should fill in for him once again. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. posts double-double, two assists
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 4:12 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. finished Wednesday's loss to the Celtics with 17 points (7-of-16 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Jaquez's double-double was his sixth of the season and first in just over two months. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the Heat wing is ranked outside the top-150 over the past two weeks. Jaquez's value has not been terrible, but the lack of upside does mean that he isn't a must-roster player in 12-team leagues. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro records 18 points, seven assists
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 4:11 PM
Tyler Herro accounted for 18 points (5-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: One game removed from putting up 30 in a win over the 76ers, Herro struggled with his shot on Wednesday. He made just one of his five two-point attempts, which did a number on the overall field-goal percentage. Herro did provide good value in assists and three-pointers, but fantasy managers were likely hoping for a more efficient scoring night. He'll look to bounce back on Saturday when the Heat host the Wizards. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell hits five triples, scores 21
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 4:11 PM
Davion Mitchell produced 21 points (8-of-15 FGs), two rebounds, seven assists and five three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: After struggling with his perimeter shot in his first two-plus NBA seasons, Mitchell has made significant strides since joining the Heat last season. A 44.7 percent shooter from deep in his 30 regular-season games for Miami last season, âOff Nightâ has made over 39 percent of his attempts in 2025-26. Against the Celtics, Mitchell shot 5-of-10 from three and dished out seven assists without a turnover. The Heat play once more in Week 23, as they host the Wizards on Saturday. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo scores team-high 29 points vs. Boston
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 4:10 PM
Bam Adebayo amassed 29 points (10-of-21 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and five three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Adebayo extended his double-double streak to five games on Wednesday, with the 29 points being the most in a game for him since March 21. Shooting 5-of-10 from beyond the arc, all that Bam's line lacked was a blocked shot. While the Heat aren't locked into the Play-In tournament yet, they risk being seeded ninth or tenth, which would require two wins to reach the playoffs as the 8-seed. |

Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 11:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (toe) is available for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Wiggins is good to go after being listed as questionable on the injury report released by the Heat on Tuesday evening. He'll take on his usual role within the starting lineup, making it six consecutive games for him after missing eight games due to the toe injury that landed him on Tuesday's report. |

Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 7:04 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (toe) is probable to play against the Celtics on Wednesday.
Analysis: Wiggins was initially questionable for this game, but now he is expected to suit up, which will be a sixth straight appearance for him. He scored 14 points and added five stocks in Monday's win over the 76ers and will look to stay hot in this one. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (toe) questionable vs. Boston
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 10:53 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (toe) is questionable to play against the Celtics on Wednesday.
Analysis: Wiggins missed a handful of games this month with a toe injury, but he has played in Miami's last five games, including both ends of a back-to-back. If that changes, Simone Fontecchio will likely return to the starting lineup in place of Wiggins. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (illness) remains out Wednesday
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 10:49 AM
Norman Powell (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Powell is set to miss a third game due to illness as he's been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics. With the 32-year-old shooting guard sidelined, Pelle Larsson had 20 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in 36 minutes in Monday's win over the 76ers. Larsson figures to make another start Wednesday. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins records 14 points, five âstocks'
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 3:58 PM
Andrew Wiggins tallied 14 points (6-of-13 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, three steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: Since returning from a toe injury that sidelined him for eight games earlier this month, Wiggins has been very productive in the defensive categories. Counting the three steals and two blocks he recorded on Monday, the veteran forward has accumulated nine steals and six blocks over his last five games. With Wiggins scoring 15 points or less in each of those outings, the defensive production has given his fantasy value a welcome boost. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson posts 20/10/3/1 line vs. PHI
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 3:57 PM
Pelle Larsson amassed 20 points (8-of-13 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in Monday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: With Norman Powell (illness) missing a second consecutive game, Larsson remained in the Heat starting lineup on Monday. And he was considerably better against the 76ers than he was in Sunday's loss to the Pacers. The second-year wing recorded his first double-double as a pro, throwing in a few assists for good measure. While Larsson is not a must-roster player when the Heat are whole, he is worth streaming when allowed to start. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo records 23/16/6/1 stat line vs. PHI
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 3:56 PM
Bam Adebayo finished Monday's win over the 76ers with 23 points (5-of-11 FGs, 12-of-13 FTs), 16 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Adebayo only attempted 11 shots on Monday, but the ability to get to the foul line boosted his point total. The Heat center's 13 free-throw attempts were the most in a game for him since March 12, the game after Bam went off for 83 points. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a nice start to Week 23 for Adebayo and those managing him in fantasy leagues. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro goes for game-high 30 points vs. PHI
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 3:56 PM
Tyler Herro accumulated 30 points (12-of-24 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the 76ers.
Analysis: In a game that determined the head-to-head tiebreaker between the Heat and 76ers, Herro had one of his most productive nights since the All-Star break. He has scored 30 points or more in consecutive games for the first time this season, and the Heat guard has three 30-point games since the break. Over the past two weeks, Herro has averaged 21.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.8 three-pointers per game while shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 92.9 percent from the foul line. |
