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. |

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

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. |

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. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) doubtful Wednesday
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 8:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Magic.
Analysis: Mitchell is expected to miss his fourth straight game, which should mean another start for Kasparas Jaku?ionis. Jaku?ionis has averaged 8.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.0 triples across 22.8 minutes in five starts this season. |

Davion Mitchell Davion Mitchell (shoulder) questionable vs. Magic
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 11:21 AM
NBA Injury Report
Davion Mitchell (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: Mitchell has missed the last three games and is in danger of missing a fourth. Kasparas Jaku?ionis has been starting in his place and will likely remain in that role if Mitchell remains out. He hasn't been great as a starter, but his minutes have gone up, so he should get an opportunity to produce. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell (back) questionable vs. Orlando
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 11:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Norman Powell (back) is questionable to play against the Magic on Wednesday.
Analysis: Powell has been managing a back injury recently, but it has been a couple weeks since he missed a game. If something changes, Dru Smith, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Simone Fontecchio will take on extra minutes |

Jaime Jaquez Jaime Jaquez Jr. records 20 points, six assists
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 4:45 PM
Jaime Jaquez Jr. accounted for 20 points (8-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: After totaling 13 points on 5-of-18 shooting in the prior two games, Jaquez ended Miami's five-game road trip on a positive note. After scoring 20 points or more in two games last season, he's up to 12 just past the halfway point of the 2025-26 campaign. And with Tyler Herro (ribs) out, Jaquez is one of the Heat players who boasts a higher fantasy ceiling due to the increased opportunities to contribute offensively. |

Norman Powell Norman Powell corrals 10 rebounds vs. Phoenix
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 4:44 PM
Norman Powell amassed 16 points (5-of-21 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: The positive for Powell and those who have him rostered was that he recorded his first double-double of the season on Sunday. The downside was that he had a brutal night shooting the basketball. Powell made two of his 11 attempts from beyond the arc and shot 30 percent from two in one of his most inefficient efforts of the season. While Powell didn't shoot the ball well in the final two games of Miami's road trip, his overall fantasy value remains in a good place. |

Bam Adebayo Bam Adebayo scores team-high 22 points vs. PHX
Sun, Jan 25, 2026, 4:43 PM
Bam Adebayo finished Sunday's win over the Suns with 22 points (6-of-16 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Adebayo scored at least 22 points in each of the final four games of Miami's five-game west coast swing, picking up the slack to help account for the absences of Tyler Herro and Kel'el Ware. Over the past two weeks, the Heat captain has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats. After a slow start to the season, Adebayo is providing the value that fantasy managers hoped to get from him immediately. The Heat play four games in Week 15, but they won't play their first until Wednesday. |
