Tyler Herro Tyler Herro (ribs) to remain out vs. Chicago
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 7:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tyler Herro (ribs) is out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Herro did not travel with the Heat during their recently completed road trip, and he also sat out Saturday's home loss to the Bulls. The Heat have not provided an update on the guard's availability beyond Sunday's injury report, but that may come early next week. Pelle Larsson will continue to start, and he's worth a look in deep leagues. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) probable vs. Chicago
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 7:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Having missed Miami's last six games with a strained left shoulder, Mitchell appears poised to return to action on Sunday. If so, his return would likely push Kasparas Jaku?ionis to the bench. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Jaku?ionis should only be rostered in dynasty leagues. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (personal) questionable vs. Chicago
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 7:30 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (personal) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Powell was not available for Saturday's loss to the Bulls for personal reasons. Myron Gardner filled the resulting void in the starting lineup, recording a double-double in his first career start. While that may be enough to get him another start if Powell remains out, Gardner played 23 minutes to Jaime Jaquez Jr.'s 32 on Saturday. |

Nikola Jovic Nikola Jovi? (hip) considered doubtful vs. Chicago
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 7:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Nikola Jovi? (hip) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Due to a right hip impingement, Jovi? is unlikely to play on Sunday. He logged 15 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss to the Bulls, not enough time to have an impact on fantasy basketball. Pelle Larsson, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio are all available; they'll likely absorb the minutes that would have gone to Jovi?. |

Bam Adebayo Adebayo scores 15 fourth-quarter points in defeat
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 4:34 PM
Bam Adebayo amassed 21 points (7-of-18 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal over 36 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Bulls.
Analysis: Adebayo shook off an ice-cold stretch to put together an impressive 15-point fourth quarter where he knocked down 6-of-10 shots from the floor, sparking the Heat to a massive comeback effort that came up just short. The 28-year-old big man has delivered his usual blend of scoring and rebounding for fantasy purposes, averaging 18.1 points and 9.8 boards through 42 games. The Heat have a three-game week on tap including matchups against the Hawks, Celtics and Wizards. |

Pelle Larsson Larsson posts 22 points in loss to Bulls
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 4:32 PM
Pelle Larsson accumulated 22 points (7-of-11 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists and five steals over 32 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Bulls.
Analysis: Larsson saw an uptick in creation possessions on a night where both Norman Powell (back) and Tyler Herro (rib) remained absent. He came up with a pair of clutch buckets in the final three minutes as the Heat put together a furious late rally that came up short. The 24-year-old sharpshooter has been red-hot of late, averaging 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and two steals in four games over the last week. He's worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper leagues. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) downgraded to out
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 6:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Saturday's game will be the sixth consecutive game that Mitchell has missed with a strained left shoulder. Rookie Kasparas Jaku?ionis has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and that will likely remain the case on Saturday. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (Shoulder) doubtful vs. Chicago
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 10:29 AM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is doubtful to play against the Bulls on Saturday.
Analysis: Mitchell has missed the last five games for Miami and is now expected to make it six absences in a row. Kasparas Jaku?ionis should continue to start, but his minutes have been too low to make much of an impact as a streaming option. Dru Smith should play more minutes, but his value is often tied to steals. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (personal) ruled out vs. Chicago
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 10:23 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (personal) has been ruled out against the Bulls on Saturday.
Analysis: Powell has been a big part of what Miami does on offense, especially with Tyler Herro sidelined. In his absence, one of Simone Fontecchio or Jaime Jaquez Jr. will likely replace him in the starting unit. Jaquez holds far more upside for fantasy managers whether he starts or comes off the bench. |

Pelle Larsson Pelle Larsson tallies 15 points, six rebounds
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 4:43 PM
Pelle Larsson recorded 15 points (4-of-8 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Thursday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Larsson continues to fill the void left by the injured Tyler Herro. Unfortunately, the second-year wing has not been consistent enough to merit being rostered in a higher percentage of fantasy leagues. Hopefully, Larsson can build on Thursday's production when the Heat host the Bulls on Saturday and Sunday. Given the matchup, he's worth considering in deep leagues but is not a must-stream player. |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. posts 19/10/6/3 line vs. Chicago
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 4:42 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. amassed 19 points (8-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, six assists, three steals and one three-pointer in Thursday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Jaquez has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, as he continues to provide solid all-around stat lines. Thursday's double-double was his fifth of the season and first since December 29, with the third-year wing also providing solid assist and steal numbers. Despite coming off the bench, Jaquez is worth a look in some 12-team leagues, especially with Tyler Herro (ribs) out. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell scores team-high 21 points vs. CHI
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 4:42 PM
Norman Powell accounted for 21 points (7-of-16 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), one assist, two steals and two three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: After recording two 30-point games in his first four appearances in January, Powell's offensive output has tailed off somewhat. He's scored 20 or more in six of his last ten games, and while that isn't necessarily bad, fantasy managers may have been hoping for more. Especially when factoring in how productive Powell was to begin the season, and Tyler Herro being out with a rib injury. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo records 20/10/2 line vs. Chicago
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 4:41 PM
Bam Adebayo finished Thursday's win over the Bulls with 20 points (7-of-19 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Adebayo has been on a roll since the Heat's January 13 win over the Suns. A 20-point scorer in nine of his last ten outings, the 6-foot-9 center has provided top-20 per-game value in nine-cat formats over the past three weeks, according to Basketball Monster. This is the version of Adebayo that many fantasy managers hoped to get at the beginning of the season. The Heat end Week 15 with a home back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday against the Bulls. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell remains out on Thursday
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 8:44 AM
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is out for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: This will now be five straight missed games for Mitchell. Kasparas Jaku?ionis will continue to fill in as the starting point guard with Mitchell and Tyler Herro (ribs) both sidelined. Jaku?ionis remains off the fantasy radar. |

Simone Fontecchio Simone Fontecchio logs 23 points off bench vs. ORL
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 5:34 PM
Simone Fontecchio amassed 23 points (7-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one block and six three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: Fontecchio was one of several Heat players to find success on the offensive end. In only 20 minutes off the bench, he made the most of his limited opportunities and shot well from the floor, leading him to finish as Miami's leading scorer off the bench. The fourth-year forward's biggest contributions came from beyond the arc, where he set a new season high in makes. He's now scored in double figures in six of the last seven games and has consistently contributed from beyond the arc and as a rebounder over that time. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo has 21/12/7 line in loss to Orlando
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 5:27 PM
Bam Adebayo totaled 21 points (7-of-14 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and four three-pointers in the loss to the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: Adebayo logged a fairly balanced performance in Wednesday's loss. He recorded at least 20 points for the fifth straight game, while also securing double-digit rebounds for the third time during that stretch. Adebayo's passing was also exceptional against the Magic, leading to a new season-high in assists. Add in his four three-pointers, and you get one of his most well-rounded performances in quite some time. He'll have a chance to extend his streak of 20-point games to six when the Heat face the Bulls on Thursday. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell goes for 22 points Wednesday vs. ORL
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 5:16 PM
Norman Powell finished Wednesday's loss to the Magic with 22 points (8-of-17 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Powell was limited to just 28 minutes in the loss, but even in his more limited action, he managed to finish as one of Miami's top scorers. Efficient shooting allowed him to reach 20 points for the first time in three games. However, the first-year Heat guard didn't make many other contributions aside from his scoring. His fantasy value was almost exclusively tied to his scoring on Wednesday, which is the risk fantasy managers run with having Powell on their roster. Yet, he's always capable of big scoring performances and isn't someone you want on your bench. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) downgraded to out
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 11:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: Wednesday's game will be the fourth that he's missed as he continues to deal with a left shoulder injury. Kasparas Jaku?ionis will continue to fill in as the starting point guard, but his value has not been enough to merit being streamed in most leagues. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (back) available Wednesday vs. ORL
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 11:51 AM
Anthony Chiang
Norman Powell (back) is available to play on Wednesday against the Magic.
Analysis: Powell is good to go for Wednesday's game despite dealing with a back injury. The veteran guard has been Miami's top leading scorer in his first year with the team, currently averaging a career-high in points. His presence will give the Heat a greater chance to pull off a third straight win. They're currently seventh in the Eastern Conference standings, and just one game above the Magic, who they face on Wednesday. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (back) probable vs. Orlando
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 8:14 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (back) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's matchup with the Magic.
Analysis: Powell will play through his back injury, and he should be expected to handle his typical workload. |
