Norman Powell Norman Powell scores 21 points off the bench
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 3:57 PM
Norman Powell tallied 21 points (7-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and four three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Since returning to action after missing seven games due to injury, Powell has come off the bench in three of his four appearances. However, that has not negatively affected his production, as the veteran guard has scored at least 17 points in each. Against the Spurs, Powell shot 4-of-11 from beyond the arc, with a low field-goal percentage and four turnovers as negatives of his night. He and the Heat will look to bounce back when they visit the Cavaliers on Wednesday. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins (toe) plays 20 minutes in return
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 3:57 PM
Andrew Wiggins (toe) accounted for nine points (4-of-7 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals, one block and one three-pointer in Monday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Back in the Heat lineup after an eight-game absence, Wiggins only played 20 minutes on Monday. The numbers weren't great, but he did record a complete stat line while shooting over 50 percent from the field. Miami does not have a back-to-back until Sunday/Monday, so fantasy managers should not have to worry about Wiggins' availability for Wednesday and Friday games against the Cavaliers. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro posts 18 points, five rebounds vs. SAS
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 3:56 PM
Tyler Herro recorded 18 points (6-of-11 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Herro failed to crack 20 points for a fourth straight game on Monday, but the good news for fantasy managers was that he put up solid percentages from the field and the foul line. Since the All-Star break, the Heat guard has averaged 21.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.7 three-pointers per game while shooting nearly 48 percent from the field. That production has been good for fourth-round value in eight-cat formats, allowing fantasy managers to salvage something from what has been a disappointing season for Herro due to injuries. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo scores inefficient 18 points vs. Spurs
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 3:56 PM
Bam Adebayo finished Monday's loss to the Spurs with 18 points (5-of-17 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
Analysis: As has been the case for most players Victor Wembanyama has defended this season, Adebayo struggled on Monday. Ten of his 17 shot attempts came from beyond the arc, with the Heat center making two. And the three rebounds were the fewest Adebayo has recorded in a game since November 5, when he had one in a game that he was forced to leave early due to injury. The good news for Adebayo managers is that Miami plays three more games in Week 22, starting with the Cavaliers on Wednesday. |

Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 12:59 PM
NBA Lineups
Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins, Pelle Larsson and Bam Adebayo will start Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Wiggins is back in the Heat lineup after an eight-game absence and will be in the starting lineup. Simone Fontecchio heads to the bench to make room for Wiggins. Meanwhile, Norman Powell will once again come off the bench, with Larsson retaining his place in the starting five. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins available Monday
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 7:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (calf) and Andrew Wiggins (toe) are available for Monday's matchup with the Spurs.
Analysis: Powell has missed two straight games, while Wiggins has missed eight in a row. Both could slot immediately back into the starting lineup, though Wiggins could face a minutes restriction after so much time off. Pelle Larsson and Simone Fontecchio could see their roles reduced with Powell and Wiggins available. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (calf) questionable vs. San Antonio
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 10:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Powell, who came off the bench in Thursday's loss to the Lakers, was held out of Saturday's loss to the Rockets. If he's able to play on Monday, that could mean fewer minutes for Simone Fontecchio and Pelle Larsson, especially with Andrew Wiggins listed as probable. |

Andrew Wiggins Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jaquez Jr. probable vs. SAS
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 10:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Andrew Wiggins (toe) and Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) are probable for Monday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: While Jaquez only missed Thursday's loss to the Lakers, Wiggins has been out for the last seven. His likely return would push Simone Fontecchio to the bench one game after he put up 21 points in a loss to the Rockets. While he would remain in the rotation, Fontecchio offers less upside when used in a reserve role. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro tallies 25 points, six rebounds
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:32 PM
Tyler Herro produced 25 points (10-of-22 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Herro has scored at least 20 points in three straight and seven of his last eight games. Since the All-Star break, he has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. That exceeds his ADP, which was affected by Herro not being healthy at the start of the season. The Heat play four games in Week 22, starting with the Spurs on Monday, so the schedule is a good one for Herro managers. |

Simone Fontecchio Simone Fontecchio hits five triples, scores 21
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:32 PM
Simone Fontecchio recorded 21 points (8-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Rockets.
Analysis: Limited to 19 minutes in his first spot start of the week on Thursday, Fontecchio logged 38 minutes in Houston. And he was effective, shooting 5-of-9 from beyond the arc. The 21 points were two shy of Fontecchio's season-high, with his being his third 20-point game of the season. His role moving forward will be influenced by the availability of Norman Powell and Jaime Jaquez Jr., who both sat out Saturday's defeat due to injury. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo posts 32/21/4/2 line vs. Houston
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:31 PM
Bam Adebayo finished Saturday's loss to the Rockets with 32 points (12-of-21 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), 21 rebounds, four assists, two steals and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Adebayo has recorded double-doubles in each of the two games he's played since returning from a calf injury that sidelined him on Tuesday. The Heat center matched his career-high with 21 rebounds and recorded the first 30/20 game of his NBA career. Add in the assists, steals and percentages, and this was an excellent end to Week 21 for Adebayo. The Heat begin a four-game Week 22 on Monday against the Spurs. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (calf) downgraded to out vs. HOU
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 12:37 PM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Added to the Heat injury report early Saturday afternoon, Powell is now out. He came off the bench the last time out, so the reserves will be affected more than the Heat starters. Simone Fontecchio may see his playing time increase with Powell and Jaime Jaquez Jr. unavailable. |
|
Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson (foot) available Saturday
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 6:27 AM
Pelle Larsson (foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Larsson started and had 11 points in 33 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Lakers. With Andrew Wiggins (toe) still out, Larsson should start again. The 25-year-old guard is a streaming option, but still not a must-roster player in standard leagues. |
|
Simone Fontecchio Simone Fontecchio (back) available Saturday
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 6:24 AM
Simone Fontecchio (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Fontecchio started and had seven points in 19 minutes in Thursday's loss to the Lakers. The 30-year-old small forward could start again Saturday and see more minutes with Norman Powell (calf) questionable. Fontecchio would be a decent streaming option if Powell is ultimately ruled out. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (calf) questionable Saturday
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 6:19 AM
Norman Powell (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Powell wasn't on the initial injury report, but has since been downgraded to questionable with a calf injury. The 32-year-old shooting guard's status is up in the air for Saturday's game against the Rockets. Simone Fontecchio would stand to see additional usage if Powell is ruled out. |

Tyler Herro Tyler Herro records 21/8/5 line vs. Lakers
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 5:29 PM
Tyler Herro posted a strong line on Thursday with 21 points (8-of-19 FGs), eight rebounds, five assists and four three-pointers against the Lakers.
Analysis: Herro shrugged off a slow start to this game and ended up finishing with a second straight 20-point game. However, since returning from a two-game absence with a quad injury, Herro hasn't been as effective on offense. He has shot below 50 percent from the floor in three straight games after shooting at least 50 percent from the floor in the six games prior to his short absence. He'll need to get back on track in Houston on Saturday to help end this losing streak. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell chips in 20 points off bench
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 5:25 PM
Norman Powell provided a boost off the bench with 20 points (7-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer against the Lakers.
Analysis: Simone Fontecchio replaced Powell in the starting lineup for this game, but Powell still played more minutes and was far more productive. Since returning from a seven-game absence with a toe injury, Powell has averaged 19.0 points, but he hasn't contributed much value in other categories. He'll continue to be an important part of the rotation, and whether he starts or comes off the bench, he should continue to play at least 30 minutes. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo records 28/10 double-double vs. Lakers
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 5:21 PM
Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 28 points (9-of-19 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in a 134-126 loss to the Lakers on Thursday.
Analysis: Following a one-game absence with a calf injury, Adebayo was back in the lineup for this game. He was able to extend his streak of 20-point games to 10, with the historic 83-point outing in the middle of the streak. Though the Heat have lost three straight, Adebayo has been productive lately, and he has contributed more steals and blocks than he typically does, which has inflated his category league impact. He'll look to stay hot in Houston on Saturday to wrap up the week. |

Simone Fontecchio MIA starts Mitchell, Herro, Larsson, Simone, Bam
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 1:39 PM
Miami Heat
Davion Mitchell, Tyler Herro, Pelle Larsson, Simone Fontecchio and Bam Adebayo will start Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Despite Norman Powell being available for Thursday's game, he will come off the bench. Instead, Fontecchio moves into the starting lineup, with Miami still without Andrew Wiggins (toe). Fontecchio can provide some points and three-pointers in that role, but there should be better streaming options on most waiver wires. |
|
Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) downgraded to out vs. LAL
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 10:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip) is out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Jaquez will sit out Thursday's game due to tightness in his left hip. Simone Fontecchio and Keshad Johnson are two players whose opportunities may increase due to Jaquez's absence, with the former being the safer streaming option. |
