Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell scores 21 points vs. Dallas
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 5:02 PM
Davion Mitchell lit up the Mavericks with 21 points (9-of-15 FGs), two assists, three steals and two three-pointers on Monday.
Analysis: It has been a fantastic start to the season for Mitchell, and that continued in this game. Through four games, he is averaging 18 points and seven assists per game while recording two double-doubles. He didn't contribute as many dimes in this game, but his scoring has been consistent. He should continue to produce at a high level as Miami's starting point guard. |
Bobby Portis Jr. Bobby Portis Jr. posts double-double off bench
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 4:56 PM
Bobby Portis Jr. provided a boost off the bench with 10 points (3-of-11 FGs), 12 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three three-pointers on Monday against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Portis has been a reliable role player for Miami this season, but this may have been his best performance. He wasn't quite as efficient as a scorer as he was the last two games, but he was able to record his first double-double of the season and set a new season high for rebounds. He'll continue to be a solid option off the bench, though he won't produce consistently enough to warrant consideration in fantasy basketball. |
Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis posts triple-double as Heat fall to 0-4
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 4:50 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Heat with 29 points (12-of-23 FGs, 3-of-7 FTs), 15 rebounds, 11 assists, one block, two three-pointers and five turnovers in a 113-109 loss to the Mavericks on Monday.
Analysis: Giannis dominated this game early on and nearly had a triple-double before halftime, and he was able to secure his first one with the Heat just a few minutes into the third quarter. However, it wasn't enough to get their first win of the season. Giannis was much better than he was in Saturday's loss to Charlotte, but he didn't get much help from his co-star Bam Adebayo, who was held to just eight points. Antetokounmpo should continue to post gaudy stat lines, and they'll head to Atlanta for their next game on Wednesday. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell records another double-double
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 2:58 PM
Davion Mitchell led the Heat with 22 points (8-of-13 FGs), one rebound, 10 assists, one steal and three three-pointers in a 15-110 loss to the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: Miami trailed by 21 points entering the fourth quarter, but Mitchell fueled a monster comeback, mostly with Giannis Antetokounmpo on the bench. That didn't result in a win, but it was another strong performance for him. He has been fantastic this year, averaging 17.0 points, 8.7 assists and 2.3 three-pointers per game, all of which would be career bests for him. He has been a bright spot despite a rough start to the year for Miami. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson turns in 15/7/4/1 line vs. Charlotte
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 2:54 PM
Pelle Larsson provided a boost off the bench with 15 points (5-of-9 FGs), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: After a rough start to the year offensively, Larsson was able to get things going in this one. He totaled nine points on 1-of-9 shooting across his first two outings, so this performance was a huge step in the right direction. Larsson was a late-round flier for fantasy managers hoping he would take a step forward for the Heat this season. He's trending in the right direction, but he'll need to produce to this level more consistently to be worth keeping rostered. |
Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo tallies 20/8/4/1/1 vs. Charlotte
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 2:49 PM
Bam Adebayo finished with 20 points (7-of-17 FGs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers on Saturday against the Hornets.
Analysis: It has been a rough start to the year for Bam, but after totaling 19 points in Miami's first two games, he was able to surpass that mark in this one. It wasn't enough for them to get in the win column, but it was good to see him have a productive outing. He'll try to build on this performance in their next game, which comes against the Mavericks on Monday. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo held to 14 points in loss to Hornets
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 2:46 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with 14 points (4-of-11 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, three assists and one steal against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: So far this season, the story for Miami has been that Giannis hasn't had enough help. Well, his teammates stepped up more in this game, but Antetokounmpo wasn't quite as productive. They went on a big run without him to tie things up in the fourth quarter. He entered with about four minutes left, committed two fouls in three minutes, and the Hornets took a six-point lead. It was a rough performance for him, but there is no reason for managers to worry. He averaged 35.5 points through their first two games and should get back on track against the Mavericks on Monday. |
Klay Thompson Klay Thompson scores 14 points vs. Charlotte
Sat, Oct 24, 2026, 2:44 PM
Klay Thompson contributed 14 points (5-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, one steal and four three-pointers against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: Following a rough shooting performance against the Pistons on Friday, Thompson was able to find his shot in this one. He set season highs for points and three-pointers, though it wasn't enough for them to get their first win of the season. For now, Thompson should continue to start and provide floor spacing. If you're looking for production outside of triples, it's best to look elsewhere. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo has 36/12/5/2/1 line in loss
Fri, Oct 23, 2026, 5:30 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 36 points (15-of-26 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), 12 rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Antetokounmpo has now had at least 35 points in each of his first two games in a Heat uniform. He played a more complete game across the stat sheet compare to the opener with 12 rebounds, five assists and three stocks. Still, the Heat lost to the Pistons by 17 after dropping the opener to the Timberwolves by 25. Miami will look for its first win of the season and probably get it against the reeling Hornets in Charlotte on Saturday. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell dishes out 10 assists vs MIN
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 5:34 PM
Davion Mitchell produced 11 points (4-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 assists, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: The good news for fantasy managers was that Mitchell recorded a double-double, which included a game-high 10 assists. However, for category-league managers, the six turnovers hurt. Mitchell logged 33 minutes in Wednesday's opener, with Pelle Larsson (two points, three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block) taking on the playmaking responsibilities when âOff Nightâ was on the bench. Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo can also initiate the offense, and they'll likely need to because Miami lacks depth at point guard. |

Klay Thompson Klay Thompson hits three three-pointers vs. MIN
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 5:31 PM
Klay Thompson notched 10 points (3-of-6 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), one rebound and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: After making two of his three three-point attempts and scoring six points in the first quarter, Thompson did not provide much value in his official Heat debut. While starting was a positive for the veteran guard, he played just 16 minutes. Meanwhile, Tim Hardaway Jr. (three points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer) logged 18 minutes off the bench. Outside of deep leagues where you need three-pointers, you gain little by rostering Thompson. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo posts 15/7/4/3 line vs. Minnesota
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 5:26 PM
Bam Adebayo posted 15 points (6-of-12 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, three steals and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: After scoring six points on 3-of-9 shooting in the first half, Adebayo scored nine in the third quarter. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Heat center went scoreless in the fourth, attempting just one shot. The on-court chemistry between Adebayo and Giannis Antetokounmpo needs work, which isn't a surprise. But at times, Bam looked like little more than a bystander on offense, and that can't happen. |

Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo scores 35 in Heat debut
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 5:23 PM
Giannis Antetokounmpo tallied 35 points (13-of-19 FGs, 9-of-14 FTs), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Giannis came out hot in his official Heat debut, scoring 14 points in the first quarter. He went into the halftime break with 21, but no other Heat player scored more than seven. Antetokounmpo finished with a solid stat line, but fantasy managers may have hoped for more on the defensive end. The Heat host the Pistons Friday in the first of two games in as many nights before visiting Charlotte on Saturday. |
Dru Smith Dru Smith (calf) available vs. Minnesota
Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 12:49 PM
NBA Injury Report
Dru Smith (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Smith is good to go for Miami's season opener after sitting out the preseason with a strained right calf. With starting point guard Davion Mitchell healthy, Smith is unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. |

Dru Smith Dru Smith (calf) uncertain for season opener
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 11:56 AM
Miami Herald
Dru Smith (calf) participated in Sunday's practice but is uncertain for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Smith suffered a strained right calf during training camp and did not play in any of Miami's preseason games. Sunday's practice was his first âliveâ session, so he may not be cleared to play in games for a little while longer. Smith's availability does not affect most fantasy leagues, but it does leave Miami light on options behind starting point guard Davion Mitchell. Pelle Larsson, who missed the final two preseason games with an illness, may be asked to do some supplementary playmaking in Smith's absence. |
